For the world to function and sustain, it has to be inevitability built on

hierarchy. As precious, rare resources, high-order omegas are kept in
captivity by powerful, elite alphas in order to reproduce the next high
quality generation.

Yan Yi, a lop-eared rabbit omega, had once ravaged the battlefield with the
powerful alpha Lu Shangjin.

Yan Yi, who had once loved him deeply and loyalty.

Yan Yi, who had once tasted the heartlessness of Lu Shangjin.

Now, he could only succumb to the social order and submit to his
subordinate nature.
 Chap 1

On a deserted highway at two in the morning, the black motorcycle was like
a running black panther, roaring with speed from the end of the highway
that merged with the starry sky. The sharp sound of tires screeching to a halt
sliced through eardrums as it stopped abruptly at a gas station.

The thick pheromones of an alpha permeated the air. A gang of alphas on

their motorbikes had stopped at the gas station; they had tall builds and
muscled arms covered in steampunk gear and fancy english words. They
leaned against the engine while holding cigarettes, looking provocatively at
the uninvited guest who had stopped not too far away.

“Where did this rich kid come from?” the alpha wearing a sleeveless vest
that exposed his ab muscles and deep tendon whistled softly at him.

One could tell this group of alphas was not to be messed with. That person’s
black panther- Valkyrie Rune 1800, was an ultra heavyweight high-powered
cruise bike produced in the states, 85% of the parts of which were built by
hand; only 2500 were manufactured before it was sold out.

That man wore a pitch-black helmet, his entire body hidden under the rivet
buckles of skintight clothes, with a slim figure and an especially alluring
waist, making an alpha explode with scorching interest.

It was beneath alphas to wear protection guards, as they were strong enough
to use their aggressively tough teeth and claws to protect the weak spot at
the nape.

Despite wearing the securely tight protection guard, it still could not
prevent the slight trace of pheromones from leaking out the gap, the smell
sweet and soft, like cotton candy mixed with half a spoon of milk
sweetener, unintentionally teasing. In a split second of smelling this sweet
and luscious scent, the alphas in the area had their blood boiling with
passion.

The eyes of several alphas turned bloodshot from restraining their desire,
like a pack of wolves staring at a little lamb who unhurriedly entered the
surroundings in ignorance. If the greed in their expressions had a colour, a
green light would emit from their eyes.

The one who arrived was unexpectedly an omega.

It was unbearable for alphas to endure the delicious natural fragrance of the
omega right in front. The pure scent of the omega was like a white milk
candy, uncontaminated with the ghost of an alpha’s scent, such a rare
beautiful being that hadn’t been marked yet.

Yan Yi took off his helmet, his light grey short hair ruffling gently in the
breeze, and a stronger sweet smell instantly filled the whole gas station,
masking the pungent odor of petrol.

Two velvet rabbit ears hung down between his head, his blood flow
obstructed by the helmet. Yan Yi smoothed down his rabbit ears in distress
and kneaded them for a while to ease the numbness.

He removed his tactical belt; the box of suppressant injections had long
been emptied. The swaying red-hot internal sensation made Yan Yi fidgety,
desperately in need of an alpha’s gentle pheromones to pacify him. The
rabbit ears wanted to be caressed, and even the tightly concealed glands had
started to restlessly and frantically secrete pheromones to attract bees and
butterflies1. Yan Yi’s body had begun to ache after being unsatisfied for so
long, the pain of the body’s instinctual use irritating him. It required him to
search for a suitable alpha to have intercourse with and to relieve his needs
during his heat.

Yan Yi anxiously breathed in some fresh air, quietly whispering to the staff
member beside him, “Fill it up.”
The staff member was an ordinary beta, insensitive to the pheromones, but
was stunned by this soft, gentle appearance and handsome face. Holding
onto the oil gun, he didn’t know which button to press.

“Sorry, sorry,” the beta bowed, straightened the brim of his hat and
controlled the oil gun.

Yan Yi leaned aside and nervously grasped his arm, the slightly trembling
hand fishing out a lighter and cigarette from his pocket. He lifted his gaze to
see a sign prohibiting open fire, then irritably put them back in his pocket.

An unmarked lop-eared rabbit omega in heat.

What an enticingly soft keyword, signifying to become the most tender and
tasty delicacy on an alpha’s plate, stripped of any piece of clothing wrapped
around his body, slim ankles and wrists held down by a powerful predator,
unable to move. Not only would the alpha enter him repeatedly, he would
bite his neck glands, empty his load inside him to claim his possession and
take these soft, pretty rabbit ears as his own. They would fuck deep into his
belly, eating until not a single waste was left. Even helpless tears, sweat or
blood would be licked clean like delicacies.

Omegas were precious resources and property, and like thin ice on the
surface of a lake, they would break into fragile pieces at the slightest touch.

An alpha with red-shot eyes panted roughly towards the others and
approached Yan Yi. Among the group of alphas, he was the tallest and most
handsome, with the zipper on his jacket pulled taut by his bulging muscles,
revealing a ferocious lion tattoo on his skin.

“You’re so beautiful, little white bunny,” he was determined to release the

highly concentrated pheromones on his glands, enveloping the omega in an
oppressive manner. A rich, unrestrained scent overflowed from his breath.
This was a second-order gland differentiated lion alpha, surpassing Yan Yi
in both gender and species food chain.

Most could only advance to the first-order gland differentiation. Only a few
elites had second-order differentiated glands, bringing a stronger ability to
its owner, and fostered the existence of a leader among the alphas.

The lion alpha was the leader of this group, and had never lost while
preying at night; strong and powerful alphas had always been the object of
admiration for vulnerable omegas. Moreover, perfect second-grade gland
differentiated alphas only accounted for one percent of the total alpha
population, all of them in various top industries with rare talents.

The lion alpha was confident in his charms and powerful pheromone
pressure. He drooled with desire over this lovely lop-eared rabbit, wanting
to penetrate him immediately, press onto his slender waist, pierce his
entrance and mark him with his sharp teeth as a symbol of possession.

Yan Yi was already anxious during this heat period, and the sudden strong
desirable scent of alpha pheromones surrounding him only made him feel
even more painful, his veins about to burst, heat rising to his rabbit ears.
The bones in his body felt as though they were pierced by pervasive
pheromones. Yan Yi became more exhausted while trying to resist the
invasive pheromones, his lips almost flushed blood-red.

The vulnerable little lop-eared rabbit retreated half a step.

The lion alpha smiled, reaching out a hand to Yan Yi, trying to remove the
protection guard so he could take a deep whiff of the fragrance on his body.

The next moment, the icy muzzle of a Desert Eagle2 pressed against his
forehead. The lion alpha jolted awake, smelling the faint stench of blood on
this little rabbit. It seemed that he had just escaped from a fight.

Yan Yi held the gun with one hand, and said with a soft polite voice,
“Xiansheng3, let me be alone for a while, will you?”

The Desert Eagle that weighed two kilograms seemed weighless in Yan Yi’s
thin hand, not to mention the installation of a ten inch muzzle and
riflescope. A vulnerable omega surprisingly equipped with such a violent
pistol would make others can’t help but worry about him, wondering
whether such a slender figure could withstand the powerful recoil of the
gun.
The lion alpha’s face frosted over, “Do you know who I am? No one in the
world dares to point a gun at me.”

Yan Yi was a little weak, like a dandelion blooming forcibly, the weak stem
about to snap in the wind. He smiled, “Now there’s one, xiansheng, there’s
a first time for everything.”

The noisy gas station abruptly fell silent, and the atmosphere froze. Several
alphas who were leaning against the engines quietened and watched their
arrogant boss get knocked down by a little lop-eared bunny.

When the fuel was filled, Yan Yi put on his helmet and stepped on the
pitch-black motorcycle. The blinding reflection of the starlight from the
radiator stabbed the alpha’s eyes, then a fog of gasoline was left behind as it
roared away.

The lion alpha watched the little rabbit leaving in shock. When he glanced
back through the windshield of his helmet, his eyes appeared gentle and
gloomy, the light grey pupils stained with loneliness. Helpless like the last
dandelion trembling on a bare flower stalk, one couldn’t help but cherish.

Who allowed this prickly little omega to feel wronged? He was in heat, it
must be difficult without an alpha’s care.

Yan Yi followed along the highway and turned into a deserted field, passing
through several resort rural farmyards. An old lady squatted at the edge of
the narrow road, wrapped in a clean headscarf. The dark blue young girls’
skirt she wore had been washed and faded, but clean and ironed, and a
purple chrysanthemum was pinned at her temples. She was a trendy little
old omega lady driven here by foreign tourists.

To avoid the noise and smoke from disrupting the old lady, Yan Yi braked
ten meters away from her. The old lady opened her eyes under frowning
brows, sniffing the unctuous sweet smell in the air and complained, “The
rabbit is always in heat, it’s inconvenient to not have an alpha to take care
of you, have you caught your alpha yet?”
Yan Yi knitted his brows and smiled, the rabbit ears that were squeezed to
his cheeks from the helmet covered his reddened cheeks. He replied softly,
“I haven’t caught him yet, perhaps the flowers yesterday were not fresh, he
doesn’t like them.”

The old lady pouted her wrinkled lips angrily and took a handful of watered
red roses from the flower basket beside her. She confidently advised Yan
Yi, “Here, give it to him when you go back, then give him a warm kiss.
That child would be enchanted to death by you.”

Yan Yi’s eyes were gentle, as if moved by the old lady’s poor
advertisement. He picked out a rose from the bundle and put it in his front
pocket, then took out ten yuan from his wallet and handed it to her. The old
lady slowly took the money, folded it in half, and solemnly put it in her
laced side pocket.

He was a regular visitor to the garden. Every time, he would go home right
after doing what he needed to do, and he would bring a bunch of roses for
that alpha.

However, roses were expensive. If he bought a bundle and watched them

wither before tossing them in the trash, it was a little extravagant for
someone like Yan Yi who earned a fixed salary.

He could only buy a stem.

It wouldn’t hurt too much to watch it wither in his pocket.

The black helmet covered Yan Yi’s pale face, light grey hair soaking with
cold sweat, damp and plastered to his cheeks. Reluctantly, he put his
motorcycle into the underground garage. When he entered the elevator, his
body was already drenched in sweat.

By restraining himself with inhibitors as a “remedy” to quench his thirst

during his heats, it made Yan Yi’s needs more violent each year. Like a mad
beast bashing against a confined cage, wreaking havoc in Yan Yi’s body and
crashing against every blood vessel in unbearable pain.
At first, Yan Yi could walk while leaning against the wall for support, but
eventually he could only kneel down and instinctually approach the familiar
alpha smell in the bedroom.

How he longed. How he longed for the owner of this powerful smell to
touch him, just a little, no need for more. As long as the alpha was willing
to touch him, to provide some comforting pheromones to soothe his pain.

His state weakened, as if a bunny being fished out of water. Grasping on to

the last trace of calm clarity, he stood in front of the bedroom door with the
well-protected bright red rose between his fingers. Before he could knock
on the door, strong alpha pheromones transmitted into Yan Yi’s glands,
entangled with it was the cloying scent of an omega’s pheromones, cutting
off Yan Yi’s last line of defense like a chainsaw.

A groan emitted from the bedroom, the omega inside panting lowly,
accompanied by the muffled slaps of skin colliding repeatedly, “Jin… Jin
ge…love4 me…”

The blood surging in his heart suddenly calmed, knowing this happened
over and over again. It was not worth covering his eyes, yet he was still
unable to get used to it. Yan Yi’s expression turned sullen and lonely, as the
Desert Eagle in his hand pushed against the door.

He had the sensitive hearing ability of a lop-eared rabbit, even without

looking, he could aim right at the omega’s head from behind the door.

The ear-piercing moans poured into Yan Yi’s soft rabbit ears. His hearing
was too sharp, the smallest sound like a blast of explosion in his ear, pulsing
painfully in his eardrums. He put down his gun slowly, pressed his forehead
against the wooden door and slid down weakly before kneeling gently on
the ground.

His eyes turned absent, his head splitting from the disordered entanglement
of pheromones. He did not dare to compete for territory with Lu Shangjin’s
selected prey, so all he could do was take out the rose from his pocket and
inhale it deeply under his nose.
Mist blurred his eyes, while the soft rabbit ears trembled, and he wiped his
tears.

“Jin ge.”

“Please love me too.”

Yan Yi sat with his back against the door frame, wanting to leave. The
calming alpha pheromones overflowing through the crack of the door was
like a powerful adhesive, sticking him to the door. He knew these
pheromones were released by Lu Shangjin for the little omega in the room
to withstand his blessed seed1, but Yan Yi still couldn’t resist the devil’s
temptation, and would rather absorb some of the alpha’s comfort from the
overlapping gasps in the room until the pain from his heat was reduced
enough for him to stand up.

He bit the corner of his black leather glove that had been plastered to his
hand with sweat, and pulled it off, exposing a clean and slender right hand,
with an exquisite and peerless platinum ring made of quality workmanship
sitting on his ring finger. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lifting it to
his lips, quietly lit a fire and took a drag. Leaning against the open balcony
window, he faced the gardener who was pruning branches in the garden,
and slowly exhaled a white fog.

He just had a physical examination two days ago. The doctor had held a
physical examination sheet with a few indicators ticked off and repeatedly
instructed Yan Yi that the heat periods of lop-eared rabbits were not more
frequent than that of other species. Like other omegas, the frequent use of
inhibitors to suppress one’s heat would lead to drug overdose with
numerous side effects. The most important one was that it may cause
reproductive disorders, resulting in a high probability of infertility.

Infertile omegas would be ostracized by the whole society, hence Yan Yi

could only endure the waves of torment of his heat alone.

He bent his head to look at the ring on his finger as though it were a useless
toy that he was unwilling to throw away, tiredly caressing it in fond
recollection.

Once, he was also Lu Shangjin’s favourite little omega in bed, with a

beautiful appearance and gentle nature, yet unrestrained and called out
wildly. His physical strength was surprisingly good, able to serve the
ferocious beast Lu Shangjin through the whole night.

Ten years ago, Lu Shangjin stayed in the Golden Triangle to deal with a
group of drug dealers. He only took Yan Yi with him, saying he was his real
spouse and the pair would always move together.

At the time, Lu Shangjin was extremely gentle. He had left teeth marks that
proclaimed his possession on the glands at the back of Yan Yi’s neck, and
the intense, passionate marker of the pheromones entered his glands and
spread through his entire body. At that moment, although he knew that he
was only Lu Shangjin’s guard, Yan Yi still couldn’t help but fall deeper in
love with him.

“Yan Yan, does it hurt?” Lu Shangjin hugged Yan Yi from behind, his
movements gentle as he gradually kissed his collarbone to his shoulder. The
omega beneath him was soft and obedient. Regardless if it hurt or not, he
would cater to Lu Shangjin’s pleasure all through the night.

“Jin, Jin ge… can we not do it here…” Yan Yi supported himself on the
windowsill and saw the occasional passerby below. He shamefully covered
himself with the curtains.

“The scenery is beautiful here, I like it.” The twenty year old Lu Shangjin
was vile yet gentle.

After, Yan Yi slept from exhaustion, nestled in Lu Shangjin’s arms. The

hand stained with comforting pheromones would then slowly caress his
back and soft rabbit ears, attentively taking care of this fragile little white
rabbit. Even if a rain of bullets and the flames of war erupted tomorrow, the
emotional fluidity of romance would only be needed tonight.

That night was the most unforgettable moment in Yan Yi’s life. His alpha
had marked him, and had personally put the ring on his finger, promising
him with a deep and low voice next to his ear, “I will love you until my last
breath, Yan Yan.”

In fact, when people grow up, they no longer take fairy tales seriously. No
matter how affectionate a commitment is, it could not compare to the reality
of having a cheque or a black card. In the end, vigorous love may not leave
a residue, and one may not even have a single branch to perch on2.

He was still not as good as living the life of Lu Shangjin’s new favourite
omega.

Accompanying an emperor was like accompanying a tiger. It had been ten

years, and Lu Shangjin had abandoned the life of an outlaw and retired,
leaving the world of war and chaos, and the lop-eared rabbit that followed
him had also fallen out of favour.

He was too powerful, able to arouse the envy and vigilance of alphas. An
alpha who spent his life surrounded by flashing swords and knives no
longer needed a strong omega. In contrast, a sweet and yielding omega was
the preferable mate for someone as successful as him.

Yan Yi had tasted the heartlessness of Lu Shangjin.

He had pressed Yan Yi onto the operating table and surgically mended his
glands, erasing any evidence of being marked. If Lu Shangjin wanted to
break up with someone, he would not leave a single trace of himself on the
other party.

But.

Yan Yi extinguished the cigarette. He kissed the ring on his finger with his
eyes downcasted.

“Jin ge, I’ll wait for you to have enough of your fun. When you turn back,
I’ll always be here.”

After a stick of cigarette, the restless activity in the room still had not
ended. The omega’s voice became hoarse, the initial pleasurable intimate
sounds gradually turned into painful pleas.

Yan Yi didn’t stay any longer. He went into the coatroom to pick up an
ironed-flat tuxedo, lifted the collar of his white shirt, skillfully tied a decent
bow tie and finally tidied his coat. His slender waist fit perfectly. A butler’s
uniform was spotless. After putting on a pair of white gloves, he headed
downstairs to prepare tea.

(t/n: Yan Yi’s position as a “butler” and “guard” in this novel is

interchangeable. The later chapters will explain this change. Here he is
fulfilling his duty as a butler.)

The quartz clock in the living room pointed to 4 p.m. Wearing the clothes
left by Yan Yi outside his bedroom, Lu Shangjin followed along the solid
wooden steps downstairs. He sat on the sofa, took the schedule prepared by
Yan Yi and glanced through.

A pair of eyes that could penetrate through anyone sat beneath cold,
wrinkled thick eyebrows. The brow ridges and bridge of his nose are taller
and more three-dimensional than the average Asian, and his body was
absent of any jewellery that marked his identity and status. The elegance
and calmness emitting from his bones allowed him to unconsciously
become the main focus of any situation.

Yan Yi stood in front of the table and wiped the porcelain plates. There was
a red rose in the vase on the table.

“Xiansheng, a phone call came through just now. The other party spoke
resolutely and refused to allow me to take the message.” Yan Yi’s tone was
gentle and fitting. The only smell in the living room was Lu Shangjin’s faint
pheromones, allowing Yan Yi to relax and feel comfortable.

Lu Shangjin made a sound of acknowledgement, “Who was it?”

Yan Yi took out a notebook from his front pocket, half of the pages had
been used up. With familiarity and ease, he flipped to a page, “The number
was new. I looked into it and found it was approximately from the Hongye
office building in Jiu An city.”
Lu Shangjin raised his eyebrows and picked up his phone to return the call.
Looking at his behaviour, the person must not be someone who could be
ignored at will.

The other party quickly answered the phone, their tone light and slow. Not
paying attention to Lu Shangjin, they deliberately turned on the voice-
changing device, the distorted electric sound ear-piercingly noisy.

Lu Shangjin leaned back lazily against the sofa, “Director Xia, if you have
any delegations, you can contact my assistant directly.”

The person was stunned for a moment, then turned off the voice-changing
device. Coughing, the tone of an alpha returned.

Lu Shangjin listened to the brief tasks on the phone. He lifted his gaze to
Yan Yi, who was making tea in front of the dining table, and answered
meaningfully, “Really. Want me to get hold of a lop-eared rabbit omega for
you.”

The other person said in satisfaction, “ten million yuan, alive and well.”

(t/n: about 1.5 million USD)

The hand that was making tea suddenly stopped. Yan Yi stared at Lu
Shangjin, their eyes meeting. Intimidated by the fierce light in Lu
Shangjin’s eyes, his fingertips trembled. The little rabbit was easily
frightened; calm and tranquil on the surface, but his heart was already
quivering, his heart rate rising.

Lu Shangjin’s expression was indifferent. He hung up the phone and threw

it in front of Yan Yi.

Yan Yi stood at a loss. Not knowing where to place his rabbit ears, they
subconsciously hid in his hair, instinctively afraid of inexplicable harm.

Suddenly, a sweet, soft scent emerged into the living room.

Although the little omega was permitted to stay in Lu Shangjin’s bedroom,

he was particularly favoured and was allowed to stay for afternoon tea.
Wearing Lu Shangjin’s shirt, the little omega walked down the stairs
barefoot while holding onto the wooden handrail. The two fair slender legs
were covered with red traces left by the pinches of crude fingers. For the
second time, he asked for Lu Shangjin’s confirmation that he could stay for
tea.

He was a beautiful omega, with a slim and proportionate figure, a small

attractive mole on his chin, soft golden brown hair, and elegant white
eyelashes. A fanciful string of the english word “freedom” was tattooed on
his neck, and he had a highly recognizable flattering face.

Yan Yi had just seen him in an advertisement on Weibo today. Yuan Mi. He
was holding a small red bottle of skin emulsion lotion that Yan Yi had
decided to discard immediately, and spoke with a smile against a bright red
background. Once Yan Yi saw it, he hurriedly pressed the skip button on the
right corner. However, he accidentally pressed on the wrong button and
clicked on the advertisement instead, seeing more suffocating photos from
different angles.

Lu Shangjin had a long relationship with Yuan Mi. He liked watching his
movies when he was still with Yan Yi. Three years ago, when Yuan Mi
provoked someone and was concealed by his company, Lu Shangjin had
taken good care of him. With a flick of his finger, he ascended to the
position for Best Actor.

Yuan Mi was Lu Shangjin’s captive canary, pampered in the palm of his

hand, feeling free from worries. Yan Yi was just a watchdog in the yard, a
sharp henchman, loyal and quiet.

Yuan Mi sat at the table. With a neat napkin draped on his left hand, Yan Yi
bowed politely and poured a cup of black tea, then arranged a knife and
fork next to a plate of pancakes sprinkled with blueberries.

Propping his cheek, Yuan Mi looked at Yan Yi, and as though he was the
other owner of this villa, he commanded Yan Yi, “contain your
pheromones, I’m lactose intolerant, the smell of milk candy is disgusting.”
This celebrity’s pheromones smelled like Iris perfume. A storm of vile
vocabulary that could attack this little superstar appeared in Yan Yi’s mind,
but he smiled politely.

In front of alphas, omegas would always break out with malicious friction.
For someone like Yuan Mi who was used to being in the bubble of fame in
front of the camera, he felt like he was winning. A shining diamond like
himself was able to outshine all the other omegas.

Yan Yi turned a deaf ear to the omega’s provocations. With a quiet voice, he
slowly introduced today’s Whittard black tea.

Yuan Mi was disinterested in the tea’s origins. He picked up the sharp silver
knife, and the tip was immediately pointed against the back of Yan Yi’s
hand that was holding the tray. Instantly, blood soaked through the white
gloves, and a red flower spread from the flat edge of the knife.

“You really didn’t move your hand,” Yuan Mi held his cheek and smiled at
him, “You’re exactly the same as the butlers who serve the wealthy I read
about in my scripts.”

Yan Yi’s expression remained indifferent. He went to change a new pair of

gloves and poured a cup of black tea for Lu Shangjin.

Lu Shangjin answered the phone again and left the living room.

Yuan Mi wantonly grabbed Yan Yi’s right hand and peeled off the glove.
When he saw the platinum ring on his ring finger, he raised his eyes and
laughed at Yan Yi, “I heard you and Jin ge once had history.”

The smile full of malice was like stepping on Yan Yi’s most fragile
memory. He was most afraid of others mentioning his romantic past with
Lu Shangjin, afraid that his incompatibly cherished love would be regarded
as inferior and a loss. People were like that; always humbly taking to heart
about what they lack.

Just as he regained his composure, Yuan Mi had fallen by the door and was
holding onto his fractured leg. When Lu Shangjin heard the loud noise, he
hurried back to the living room to investigate. The sofa had toppled over
and the person was flipped upside down-

Yan Yi took two steps back, his eyes looking at Lu Shangjin with fear, his
rabbit ears drooping. His heart rate soared to its peak, the tip of his nose
turned red and trembled slightly, a sign of a rabbit’s fear.

The little star was kicked eight meters away.

 Chap 3

Lu Shangjin shot a glance at Yan Yi.

One look could soften Yan Yi’s legs like a frightened bird. Lu Shangjin had
this ability. To Yan Yi, his eyes were more deterrent than a UMP91.

Yan Yi’s reddened nose quivered rapidly. He instinctively retreated to avoid

harm.

Lu Shangjin tossed his phone at him, “Call an ambulance.”

With trembling fingers, Yan Yi almost didn’t catch it. The phone slid to his
chest and knocked against his collarbones. Ignoring the pain, he silently
dialed a number and said in a low voice, “Yes, a human omega whose
undifferentiated glands are still dormant. Could be a hairline fracture or a
bone fracture.”

He looked at Lu Shangjin while on the phone. Omegas were fragile, and

human omegas with dormant undifferentiated glands were more vulnerable.
Yuan Mi’s eyes were dilated with pain as he weakly stretched his hand out
to Lu Shangjin.

Lu Shangjin leaned over and picked up Yuan Mi, releasing his comforting
pheromones to pacify the omega who was in heart-wrenching pain, and
wiped his tears.

Seeking comfort, Yuan Mi buried himself into Lu Shangjin’s arms, his fair
hands holding onto his neck tightly. Panicked pheromones were being
released through the air as he begged with choked sobs for Lu Shangjin to
hold him.
The haters2 under Yuan Mi’s Weibo often said he had no acting skills,
undeserving of the Best Actor title. Yan Yi thought his acting skills were
excellent. If his gland cells were aroused, he would definitely be a chicken
with three golden trophies around his neck. He should record this episode
for his haters, they would turn into fans.

Yan Yi watched them silently. The doctor on the phone asked for details,
“How is the patient? We have sent…”

“No need, he’s already dead.” Yan Yi hung up the phone, placing it on the
table and straightened the crease on the collar of his uniform. He slowly
stepped forward and picked up the omega who was softly from Lu
Shangjin’s arms. With indifferent politeness, he said, “My apologies,
xiansheng, I will deal with it. You should attend to more important things.”

Lu Shangjin’s schedule was very busy, with no time left to accommodate

the injured omega. He handed over the reluctant Yuan Mi who was scared
pale to Yan Yi, and warned with a low voice, “We’ll discuss the punishment
when I get back.”

Yan Yi held onto Yuan Mi, agreeing faintly, “Yes, xiansheng.”

Lu Shangjin took his coat and drove off on the Rolls-Royce Phantom from
the garage, leaving the two omegas in the empty and silent villa.

Yuan Mi had already experienced this butler omega’s violence. Being

carried by him at this moment, he had almost forgotten about the sharp pain
in his leg, turning stiff and not daring to move. Only now did his arrogant
attitude vanish like a chicken with plucked feathers, the panicked
pheromones overflowing uncontrollably through the room, filling it with
the scent of Iris perfume.

Yan Yi walked out of the villa with Yuan Mi in his arms, his face cold, as
though he was carelessly holding a pile of damp old clothes which would be
thrown in the trash at any time to be ridden of.

Completely wilted, Yuan Mi threatened Yan Yi with the last thin fragile
glass of confidence, “You just wait, Jin ge will kill you.”
Yan Yi looked straight at him, the corners of his lips politely tilting into an
arc, “That’s between us.”

If Lu Shangjin were willing to touch him, even if it were for punishment,

Yan Yi was willing to accept it.

Yuan Mi was only wearing a thin shirt. Goosebumps rose on his fair slender
legs, and the bone fracture was already bruised and swollen. He bit his lips
and sneered, “You’re the omega he once played with, aren’t you? Hoping to
rekindle an old flame? Clinging to him and refusing to leave, losing your
last shred of face left, what are you after?”

Yan Yi frowned, a layer of melancholy casted over the indifferent light grey
pupils.

“Then what are you after? Resources, support, or do you covet his second-
order differentiated pheromones,“ Yan Yi stared at him, “If you just want to
be fucked, I can also satisfy you until you cry out just as loud as you did
today.”

Yuan Mi’s face visibility turned pale in an instant.

Yan Yi no longer spoke nonsense with him. Slightly arching his tall body
and bending his legs, he jumped onto the top of the villa while carrying
Yuan Mi like a catapult, and sped between the vastly scattered houses and
gardens.

Yuan Mi was forced to grab onto Yan Yi’s collar, nauseated from watching
the ground turn high and low, distant and close. He looked at Yan Yi’s
poker expression with fear.

This omega…his glands must have differentiated, his rank order unknown.

The probability of an omega’s gland cells differentiating was very small,

and could only rely on the stimulation of an alpha’s pheromones. Once,
there was an omega whose gland cells had differentiated into the first-order;
no matter how humble his origins were or how ugly his appearance was, he
had become the target of elite alphas to compete for courtship.
This was due to the omega’s blood being a symbol of nobility and
excellence, able to provide the future generations with powerful genes as
the ultimate gift.

Yuan Mi remained silent, not daring to act out rashly again.

He had no comparability with this irritable rabbit omega; the latter could be
one in a million elite omega.

“What’s…your name.” Yuan Mi asked testingly.

“Yan Yi.” He said.

With wide eyes, Yuan Mi stared at him in disbelief for a long time.

It was said that the only person in the palace who Lu Shangjin had truly
loved was Yan Yi.

Unexpectedly, he was serving as a butler at his house.

Lu Shangjin didn’t return to the villa for three days. Yan Yi had received a
new task- to accompany Lu Shangjin’s lover in the hospital.

This was an act of silent humiliation. Yan Yi turned off his mobile screen
and leaned outside the VIP ward, squatting while lighting a cigarette.

Lu Shangjin was really cruel.

In the office, Lu Shangjin sat in front of the French windows. He had just
finished a video conference, and the coffee beside him had turned cool. He
looked at the photo of the little rabbit sent by his assistant; squatting outside
the ward and holding a cigarette, empty gaze on the ground, lonely and
desolate.

Fingertips stroked the little rabbit in the photo. He then lit a cigarette.

Their compatibility level was only 75%, and their inextricably intricate
connections were only dependent on love. Breaking up was only a matter of
time. An alpha with second-order differentiated glands faced countless
temptations in the world. If he married and lived together with an omega
who had a compatibility level of not more than 80%, it would be difficult to
watch the feelings between the two turn more dull over time, a tragic
marriage.

He had once loved him.

The lop-eared rabbit was romantic and caring; he carried a camouflage Uzi3
in his hand, and smiled at him with a rose in his mouth. Any alpha’s heart
would race.

But he was tired of it. Any omega around who had 80% pheromone
compatibility with him allowed Lu Shangjin to feel more comfortable and
at ease. Moreover, charming omegas who had 85% or even above 90% of
compatibility rate would offer him an olive branch4. Alphas were animals
that submitted to pheromones; none would choose love over a compatible
omega.

Not to mention, he’s very special.

He lifted his hand to pour out the lukewarm coffee and asked his assistant
for a new cup.

A phone call came in, remarking Lu Lin.

Lu Shangjin answered impatiently.

With a deep and grave voice, the middle aged alpha angrily ordered in a
questioning tone, “Next time I dial this number and my call gets declined,
you’ll leave the Lu family, I don’t have a son like you.”

Lu Shangjin breathed in, listening with indifference, and said, “Been busy.”

On the other end of the phone, Lu Lin demanded a final condition.

“If you don’t bring Yan Yi back this weekend again, you don’t ever have to
step foot into this house.”
Lu Shangjin rubbed his temples, “There are many omegas from noble
families, it’s the same no matter who I marry. Yan Yi and I have long been
separated, our compatibility is too low, I’m tired of playing.”

Lu Lin’s voice became frustrated and irritable, “How can you toss aside an
omega of that grade whenever you please? If you can find and bring back
an omega of the same grade as him, I won’t say another word.”

Lu Shangjin’s patience was almost exhausted, so he said with indolence,

“He’s a rabbit, there’s only a 15% chance that I can impregnate him, and the
probability of him giving birth to an alpha is only one in five.
Unfortunately, he might not be able to give you a strong alpha grandson,
and may even give birth to a litter of useless omega rabbits. What’s more,
the genes of the descendents of the Lu family don’t have to rely on an
omega. I still have a meeting, I’m hanging up.”

Speaking until the end, Lu Lin was almost burning with rage, his roar
pressed down by the indistinct telephone signal. Lu Shangjin turned on the
switch to block the signal and threw his phone aside.

The constant pressure imposed by his father made Lu Shangjin reject Yan
Yi further. Whenever he saw that beautiful face, Lu Shangjin would feel
incredibly agitated.

——

Yan Yi leaned outside the ward for a long time, nearly falling asleep against
the ice-cold wall. He was awakened by the sudden vibration of his phone.

Rabbits were too easily frightened.

Stupefied, Yan Yi held his phone with shortened breaths and a sudden rise
of his heart rate. To him, an ordinary phone’s vibration was like a nuclear
bomb explosion. His whole body trembled for exactly three minutes before
returning to normal.

The screen had already turned black for a while. After turning it on, the first
message jumped to Yan Yi’s eyes:
‘Coming home tonight. WIll be late.’

The soft rabbit ears quivered as Yan Yi swallowed his saliva. It was as
though he had received a court summons. Trembling with fear, he replied to
the message and tried to guess what punishment awaited him.

He didn’t want to be bound to the machine and tortured by a massage stick

for twelve hours again. The pain and the dark confinement room made him
extremely terrified.

The reason for this brutal punishment was just because he had softly asked
in bed, “Jin ge, can you mark me?”

However, this piece of news had no mentions of Yuan Mi’s injury, which
made Yan Yi relax a little. It seemed as though Lu Shangjin did not like
Yuan Mi much. His genuine love wasn’t like this. Yan Yi once had it all,
and he could still vividly remember it.

He was glad Yuan Mi didn’t receive such precious affections, and hence
was able to dismiss his jealousy.

Half an hour later, Yan Yi returned to the villa and changed into his butler’s
uniform. The wound on his hand wasn’t too serious; compared to the bullet
holes on his body, it looked light and shallow. He found a band aid and
plastered it on the back of his hand. Although it had already stopped
bleeding for a long time, putting a band aid on made him feel a sense of
security, the wound protected by an armour, and won’t hurt too much if he
bumped into hard objects.

After washing the vegetables needed for dinner, he glanced at the quartz
clock; it was three in the afternoon.

Lu Shangjin said he would be back late. Yan Yi calculated the time, before
picking out a carrot from the vegetable rack and nestled into the sofa. He
then picked a CD to watch a movie.

It was an old movie from a few years back that Lu Shangjin had brought
him to the cinema to watch. Yan Yi would often rewatch it, imagining the
person were still next to him, gently hooking his fingertips and kissing the
inner side of his sensitive rabbit ears that were covered in thin veins.
Kissing it, Yan Yi would withdraw a little from being oversensitive, but he
liked it a lot. He couldn’t help but to worm back into Lu Shangjin’s
embrace, raising his head to kiss the corner of his lips, and openly
expressed his thoughts in an adorable manner, “Xiansheng, I like it like
this.”

The film’s plot was very moving. Occasionally, the soft rabbit ears would
curl up to wipe away tears, then he would nibble at the sweet and crisp
carrot.

After eating a whole carrot, he took his time climbing out of the sofa before
placing the CD back into the depths of the hidden drawer, pressing it under
a notebook. He could then prepare dinner with a peace of mind.

As soon as he entered the hallway, he heard the sound of keys unlocking the
door. Lu Shangjin rarely opened the door himself to enter, bringing in the
cold from outside.

Why was he back so early? He hadn’t started preparing dinner.

Yan Yi felt a little nervous. He hid the leftover carrot stalk into his pocket
and guiltily picked up the coat that Lu Shangjin handed over.

While changing his shoes, Lu Shangjin took out a black gift box from his
pocket and tossed it at Yan Yi.

Yan Yi was at a loss as he held the gift box, his rabbit ears were raised in an
attempt to listen to what was inside. After hesitating for a long moment, he
asked, “Xiansheng, is this for me?”

Lu Shangjin absent-mindedly hummed and sank into the sofa, “I

remembered it’s your birthday today.”

A sentence that’s neither salty nor indifferent was like spring water trickling
into the bottom of a dried pool after a long drought, moistening the seeds
that were too dry to break through the ground. A tender green sprout slowly
pushed through, vibrant with life, then blooming into a lovely pink flower.

“Today is my birthday,” Yan Yi choked.

But it didn’t matter. The fact that Lu Shangjin remembered was enough to
make him internally happy.

He hadn’t received a gift for many years.

Yan Yi’s eyes curved as the corners of his lips tilted in a gentle smile. The
hand that was busy opening the gift got caught on the ribbon several times.
He tried to remain calm as Jin ge didn’t like exaggerated behavior.

He asked as he opened the gift, “Is it the new model of the Silencer from
Germany? A sniper scope? Or is it that 9-inch platinum folding muzzle
that’s been discontinued?”

In the gift box was a glittering brooch; a gleaming carrot.

Time stood still at the moment he saw the gift, as he held the box in a daze
for a long time.

Lu Shangjin lazily picked out a movie and said casually, “The designer only
created this one piece, the only one of its kind in the entire world.”

Of course, to manufacture such a strange design, they wouldn’t be able to

sell it out.

He didn’t know an omega’s taste and what significance this kind of style
holds. Perhaps it was only suitable for the vulnerable lop-eared rabbit
omega.

Yan Yi pinned the carrot brooch on the jet-black butler tuxedo. Holding the
box, he said sincerely, “I like it very much.”

Lu Shangjin nodded, “I’m hungry, you should start dinner.”

“Right away,” Yan Yi kept glancing down at the little carrot brooch on his
chest, his rabbit ears were red with heat. No matter how much he tried to
restrain his mood, anyone could tell he was very happy.

“Thank you, Jin ge,” Yan Yi couldn’t help thanking him. Like a fluffy ball,
the little rabbit tail propped the fabric at the bottom of his suit into a little
bun.

Lu Shangjin narrowed his eyes and said slowly with a gentle tone, “Go on.”

 Chap 4

Yan Yi stood by the dining table, half of his butler’s uniform covered by a
white apron and he wore a small pair of soft light brown suede slippers on
his feet. He took out half a box of curry cubes from the drawer and broke
off three pieces to steep in the fragrant beef soup, then unscrew a bottle of
coconut water before pouring in for some flavour.

While waiting for it to boil, the corner of Yan Yi’s lips tilted in a daze, and
he soon took off the carrot brooch on his chest again. Taking a deep breath,
he wiped it with a white napkin to keep its diamond sections smooth and
polish

Then, he put it back on carefully.

The curry boiled with steam floating up. Yan Yi took off the brooch,
wrapped it up with a napkin and put it in his pocket. He was unwilling to
allow the beautiful carrot to lose its shine from the smoke.

Through the glass door of the kitchen, Lu Shangjin could see the rabbit with
a slender waist busily cooking the ingredients. His head was lowered,
revealing a pale neck, unwittingly exposing the clean and smooth glands,
while his delicate heel rubbed gently in the furry slippers.

Every part of skin on his body had been kissed by Lu Shangjin before, and
his soft yet unrestrained appearance allowed Lu Shangjin to savour him for
countless nights without reservation.

In a trance, Lu Shangjin felt that Yan Yi was just as enchanting as he was

ten years ago. Besides his immature character fading, he remained
exceedingly charming and graceful.

Lu Shangjin approached closer, watching him through the glass.

He had long forgotten when he had stopped having feelings for the rabbit,
but he knew that it was very early on.

It seemingly started on a certain day when he no longer enjoyed being in

the spotlight with Yan Yi. He didn’t want this little rabbit to mess around
with other alphas in public. He must admit that Yan Yi, a beautiful and
affectionate omega, had coveted quite a few alphas.

To satisfy his own possessive alpha instincts, Lu Shangjin forbade Yan Yi to

leave the house.

The little rabbit really liked the carrot brooch, he treasured it so much that
he didn’t know where it would be suitable to put it.

The look on his face sold him out, Lu Shangjin never had to fear that one
day Yan Yi would want to leave him.

As though the gods and demons were at work, Lu Shangjin unconsciously

pulled open the glass door and gently circled his arms around Yan Yi’s slim
waist, kissing the side of neck.

Yan Yi became completely stiff, like being in a sleep paralysis where he

couldn’t move even if he wanted to, but the dream in front of him was filled
with the gentle and beautiful colour of pink.

“Xiansheng……?” Yan Yi blinked as he slowly confirmed the familiar

embrace. The rich scent of daffodil pheromones enveloped him, as if he was
lying down on a field of flowers with the gentle wind blowing his face.

With difficulty, he turned around and lifted his head to face Lu Shangjin. At
the next moment, he threw himself into his embrace, his arms softly
wrapping around Lu Shangjin’s waist and nuzzling his head in his shoulder
as if hugging a long lost treasure. Yan Yi said softly, “I’m sorry, don’t
punish me.”

He had waited for this embrace for many years.

Burying his head in Lu Shangjin’s embrace to seek comfort, Yan Yi was
like a baby rabbit squeezing with his mother rabbit for warmth.

He wasn’t prepared and hadn’t managed to adjust to the best charming and
flattering posture to win Lu Shangjin’s favour. His mind was blank, his only
thought was to hold Lu Shangjin, drawing in the gentle warmth that was
separated from him for many years.

Lu Shangjin gently patted his slim back.

The affection that should have come didn’t arrive. Lu Shangjin was even
tired of releasing some comforting pheromones for Yan Yi, as the heart-
pounding feelings had faded. The compatibility of his milk candy
pheromones and his own ones was too low, like a stranger passing by on the
streets and disappearing when he looked back.

This wasn’t love anymore, right?

No matter how many times impulse roused emotion, love was gone when it
was. When feelings were lost and loving became a chore.

Yan Yi could also feel the estrangement from the other, and he lifted his
head tentatively, his wet eyes watching him blankly. He looked at Lu
Shangjin’s cool thin lips, waiting to hear what he had to say.

Yet subconsciously not daring to hear the words that would make his heart
ache.

“Get cooking.” Lu Shangjin lifted his hand and perfunctorily touched Yan
Yi’s cheek, “I’ll accompany you.”

Yan Yi pursed his lips, grabbing his thin right arm with his left hand,
lowering his eyelids and said softly, “I’ve let the hospital know that if
there’s a suitable gland, I’ll try it.”

Lu Shangjin threw him an absurd look, “You aren’t a normal omega, your
glands can be sold for two billion dollars on the black market. What do you
want to try?”
The words stuck in Yan Yi’s throat. The more he wanted to answer calmly,
the harder it was to make his voice sound normal. He said with difficulty, “I
want one that’s a little more compatible with yours, even just 5 percent
higher is enough.”

“Stop it,” Lu Shangjin rubbed the tip of his nose gently against his neck, his
hands holding onto his slender waist, “You’re an omega, you’ll be useless if
you change your gland. The advertisements in the hospital are all deceptive,
it’ll cause serious complications to your body. You could live through the
procedure and may die afterwards, so don’t even think about it.”

“If you don’t mind then…” Yan Yi obediently hung his ears, picking up the
wooden ladle to stir the curry.

Lu Shangjin kissed his sensitive earlobe, “I don’t mind.”

Yan Yi was lifted up onto the dining table. After so many years, Lu
Shangjin was willing to have sex with him again.

He felt a little impatient, his slender fingers held Lu Shangjin’s face and
comforted him with submissive tenderness, “Jin ge, I belong to you… don’t
rush, be gentle, should I open up a little more?”

It was painful, like being played by an impatient client at a brothel. Clients

never cherished their playthings, since they had no trammels and didn’t
require tender love nor responsibility towards them.

However, he didn’t want to sweep away Lu Shangjin’s interest, so he could

only bear it silently.

Rabbits were sensitive to pain. Discomfort for ordinary people was

extremely painful to Yan Yi.

Hence inadvertently, Lu Shangjin was bound to hurt him countless times,

watching the red rimmed watering eyes looking back at himself.

Lu Shangjin remained expressionless. He knew that the love that tortured

them deeply was more painful than a slap. One was a sharp knife, the other
was quenching thirst by drinking poison.

To him, Yan Yi was a piece of chewing gum that he’d chewed its sweetness
away, sticking to his hand and unable to remove no matter how much he
pulled and rubbed. It was undeniable that it had given him sweetness and
tenderness, which could be recalled, but the gum was now tasteless.

Yan Yi sealed his lips and endured. After a long time, his bitten lips were
stained with blood, his lower body that was in a trance had been brutally
pierced open.

His heat had not arrived, so his entrance was tightly closed and was forcibly
stabbed alive into a knot.

He felt like a dish cloth that had been torn in half out of need.

He was willing to bear children for Lu Shangjin.

But he was filled with hope that Lu Shangjin was willing to mark him, so
other alphas would retreat and respect him due to the alpha pheromones
engraved in his glands.Yan Yi wished for a reliable and gentle alpha
husband, willing to comfort him with open arms whenever he yearned to be
touched and held.

He longed for a family, not this empty, grand villa that occasionally
admitted other omegas for one night stands.

He didn’t dare to bring up the issue about marking, in fear that it would
infuriate Lu Shangjin.

He could only wait day by day, for life to turn around, for a change of heart.

Lu Shangjin’s mood was as flat as the fit between them before. After
finishing once, he neatly put on his clothes and answered the phone. There
was a banquet that evening, so he took his coat and car keys before leaving
the house.

“I’ll be back home late.” He said.

Yan Yi wrapped himself inside the thin eiderdown duvet, listening to the
door close, and the villa returned to silence. Holding the glittering carrot
brooch in his hand, he stuck it to his chest with extreme care.

Today he received a gift, a hug and a kiss.

He should open a bottle of wine to commemorate this day.

Yan Yi sat before the dining table filled with the sumptuous dinner he
prepared. He poured out a cup of red wine before silently drinking out of
the half filled bottle. He then leaned on the table with boredom, his rabbit
ears laying softly on the table’s edge.

“Happy birthday to me yesterday. I’m now 27 years old, I have to be well.”

He lit a cigarette, carelessly leaving it in his mouth. The wet apricot eyes
scanned the room aimlessly before finally stopping at the hour hand of the
quartz clock.

Perhaps, no amount of indifference nor grievances would make Yan Yi’s

heart clog with anguish. But when a child was filled with joy when he
thought he’d received a gift, only to find nothing in the box, his whole
childhood would be left with a refined bruise.

His alpha didn’t love him, nor did he love Yuan Mi. He only loved himself.
 Chap 5

In a debauched and corrupt private box1, the air in a dimly lit closed room
was mixed with the seductive scent of omega pheromones and the smell of
powerful alphas. With his busy schedule, Lu Shangjin seldom got together
with his friends.

A young master alpha with two delicate and beautiful omegas on either side
sat in front, sipping the champagne the omega attentively served him. He
snapped his fingers at Lu Shangjin, “Lu ge, I’ve got a gift for you, better
thank me properly.”

Lacking interest, Lu Shangjin supported his cheek with his hand, “What
sort of good things are there?”

The young master alpha sold a story, “In the land of Jiu An city…”

Lu Shangjin pressed on his sudden pulsing temple, “I’ve said my greetings,

you can get to the point.”

The young master alpha drew out a smoke ring, smiling in satisfaction and
clapped his hands. From outside, a thin and frail young omega came in.

As soon as he entered, the shallow yet distinctive pheromones spread

delicately to Lu Shangjin’s nose. The scattered pheromones in the air
resonated with his glands. He stood up abruptly. It startled the omega who
was standing in front, and he shuffled back a step. He clamped down his
short and soft tail, his eyes stared at Lu Shangjin clearly. He wanted to run
but didn’t dare to, yet wanting to stay in place to sound it out.

He was an undifferentiated hamster omega whose glands had roused, his

pheromones emitting a light, creamy scent.
Lu Shangjin slowly walked over, gently raising his hand and touched his
tender cheek with his knuckles.

Just by feeling, he knew that this hamster omega’s pheromones were

extremely compatible with his, at least a 95% suitability, which made Lu
Shangjin unable to restrain himself calmly.

The colourful lights shone like midnight stars, pouring down on this
inexperienced and beautiful little hamster. Outside the window, the dark
clouds cleared, revealing a bright crescent moon behind the haze, it’s glow
reflecting the beauty of the earth before it.

How perfect it would be if the white shirt on his body changed into a
skintight bulletproof suit, replacing the champagne glass in his hand with a
tactical dagger, and two snow-camouflage painted uzi hanging by his waist.

From the bottom of his heart, Lu Shangjin also felt some sort of feeling of
“like”. He smiled sincerely, and called out faintly, “Yan Yan.”

The hamster looked at Lu Shangjin in surprise and bewilderment,

“Xiansheng, my name is…”

The alpha by the side coughed and interrupted the little hamster’s self
introduction, “Lu ge can call you whatever name he wants to give you.”

He had a favour to ask from Lu Shangjin, of course he hoped that

everything went according to Lu Shangjin’s liking.

The little hamster timidly agreed and accepted the new name.

Then, Lu Shangjin’s words made everyone in the whole room shudder.

With wide, dark eyes, the little hamster retreated to the corner in fear and
screamed in mournful terror, “No! No! Xiansheng!”

He said, “Remove his glands.”

——
Yan Yi sneezed, and his little rabbit ears trembled. When he finally calmed
down, he continued cutting apples by the hospital bed.

There were only two omegas in the intensive care unit. With his right leg in
a cast, Yuan Mi trembled in fear as he opened his mouth, accepting the
apple slices handed over by Yan Yi. While chewing, he watched Yan Yi
warily, afraid that he would suddenly rush over and punch him again, or
kick him to the sky.

Seeing that Yan Yi was still quietly cutting fruit, Yuan Mi found the courage
to be disbanful, “Are there no other subordinates under Jin ge? Why would
he send you to accompany me?”

If the lady of Lu Shangjin’s main palace had a meek and submissive

lukewarm character, Yuan Mi could swoop in as the third party without
being restrained with fear in his heart.

Yet this was one he couldn’t afford to provoke.

Hearing this, Yan Yi lifted his head and smiled politely, “I’m very good at
taking care of people and will do so until you recover. I apologize for my
lack of self-restraint earlier.”

As the other party spoke and behaved with propriety and magnanimity,
Yuan Mi had no opportunity to entangle further. Discouraged, he said,
“Forget it. Anyway, Jin ge just treats you like that…” not paying you much
attention as what the legends have said.

Yan Yi maintained his composure as he clutched the handle of the knife and
said lightly, “Mn. Just like that. We’ve already been separated for three
years.”
(t/n: 离 can mean left/ separated, and also the first character for 离婚
divorced)

Yuan Mi watched in surprise at his perfectly calm demeanor and withdrew

his gaze.

Divorced.
He scratched the chicken nest-like hair that hadn’t been washed for days.
The little star’s pride had been stirred by his face that had no makeup on
and had not been washed. He simply smashed the cracked pot and pillowed
his hands, leaning against the standing pillow, “Is your compatibility with
him high?”

Yan Yi thought this was a stupid question. It seemed that not only were his
glands still dormant and undifferentiated, his brain cells were also not fully
differentiated.

Dumb human.

Yan Yi absent-mindedly carved the orange peel into a rose and said
casually, “Very low.”

Yuan Mi was not surprised. As if deep in thought, he comforted tolerably,

“Compatibility levels have no influence on Jin ge, so your divorce probably
has nothing to do with this. You should think about other reasons.”

Yan Yi gave him a sympathetic look. He felt that the both of them were like
ugly concubines stuck in a cold palace in TV dramas. He comforted the
other as well, “It doesn’t matter if you’re ugly, His Majesty likes ugly
ones.”

Otherwise, it was like the weak student who placed second from the bottom
of a class lecturing the one from the very bottom; one dared to lecture while
one dared to listen, how terrible.

Yuan Mi frowned, “My compatibility with Jin ge is 89%, do you believe

it?”

Yan Yi raised his ears and looked at him, like watching a singing parrot
from the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, strange and absurd.

89% compatibility.

It should be a number that emitted the smell of love right through a film
screen.
Was it because of Lu Shangjin’s cool and indifferent nature, or were there
more omegas that were attracted to him in the outside world of sensual
pleasures, making him arrogant enough to toss an omega who had a 89%
compatibility rate with him in the hospital without the least bit concerned.

Yan Yi was a little comforted as neither were favoured. He seemed to have

taken advantage of staying with Lu Shangjin for so many years with only a
fit of 75%.

Yuan Mi pulled out a book from the bedside table and flipped through it. It
looked like several student nurses were here preparing for their
postgraduate entrance exams, leaving a pile of Masters of Medicine books
and magazines.

He picked out a magazine, planning to flip through it to see if there were

pictures of him as illustrations. There were several medical papers and
advertisements promoting newly developed drugs, so he closed it
disappointingly.

There was a striking advertisement on the back cover.

Yan Yi slapped the table in astonishment, asking Yan Yi to take a look,

“Look at this, aerosol nitrogen mustard injection… alkylated… guanine…
er, forget it, I don’t know this word. It’s a high-tech drug that can improve
compatibility. Nonsense… there’s no such amazing thing, isn’t it the same
as the advertisement for the blue pill? Let me see, the reporting number…
Hello? Is 315 fake…”

Yan Yi grabbed Yuan Mi’s phone and hung up, snatching the magazine and
reading it again and again, his eyes frozen on the two words ‘improve
compatibility’.

Yuan Mi cried out. Although Yan Yi was a rare omega with first-order
differentiated glands, he will also submit to the manipulation of
pheromones, regarding it as the standard, while shelving his own feelings.
Pathetic.
“It’s just a small ad that you can see everywhere on the street. If you believe
this, you want to get killed?” Yuan Mi taunted, “What’s so good about
pursuing this? I know a few alpha models, I can introduce them to you.
They’ve got wide shoulders, narrow waists and long legs. Although not as
strong as the second-order differentiation, it’d be enough to date you. With
so many alphas, it’s not so difficult to find one with a higher compatibility
by your standards.”

He wanted to get rid of this highly competitive lop-eared rabbit omega from
Lu Shangjin’s side quickly, so he could have Lu Shangjin—’s power and
financial resources all to himself.

Truthfully, such a high compatibility level was a burden to Yuan Mi. He

didn’t want to be tormented by pheromones and fall in love with a heartless
alpha, but he could also only rely on this high compatibility to secure his
position in Lu Shangjin’s circle of courtesans.

Yan Yi sighed, “You don’t understand.”

Yuan Mi rolled his eyes, “Go get the shot then, it’s good once you’re dead.”

Yan Yi had no choice but to smile. He really was a straightforward omega,

with a poisonous mouth and low EQ, but had outstanding acting skills.

A crowd of entertainment reporters were outside the hospital ward, waiting

to interview the original best actor.

Yuan Mi hurriedly wiped his face with a wet towel, added on a layer of
cushion BB cream, and put on a cap to cover his unwashed hair. He took
out the script from under his pillow and placed it on his lap, flipping it to
the page with a few notes that he didn’t remember which day he had jotted,
and pretended to be absorbed in reading. When the reporters came in, the
radian of his head and side angle were just perfect. He could perfectly show
the withering aesthetic of a sick beauty in the camera lens, and flashed a
tired smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back on set soon. Everyone, rest assured.”

Yan Yi didn’t want to watch the chicken with three gold trophies anymore.
——

Late at night, Lu Shangjin returned to the villa, covered in a mess of

pheromones and wine scents, his face still slightly red from drunkenness.

When the driver sent him back, he didn’t see the lights turned on inside. In
the past, even if it were too late, the lights would remain on for him, and
Yan Yi would be falling asleep while hugging the eiderdown blanket at the
corner of the sofa. He would never not wait for him at home.

This made Lu Shangjin feel very agitated.

The lights in the house were turned off, only the ones in the bathroom were
on. Lu Shangjin pulled open the door and glanced inside.

Something rolled down from the basin and crashed next to his leather shoes.
The ice cold liquid splattered against the expensive-cut trousers, and the
sharp ear-piercing shattering of glass sounded through the silent and empty
house.

Yan Yi laid unconsciously on the bathroom floor, his pupils slack, and his
face was as pale as the white wall, remaining motionless. Beside him was a
box of unlabelled injections, and a used syringe was thrown not too far
away. The gland on the back of neck was swollen red, and his pale body
was like a porcelain figure.

“Yan Yan.” The pupils in Lu Shangjin’s eyes suddenly constricted. He bent

down to pick Yan Yi up, rushed out the front door, and shoved him into the
back seat. He turned on the engine, floored the accelerator and sped away.

Yan Yi’s body was ice cold with not a point of temperature, as soft as a
corpse with its bones removed.

Lu Shangjin made a phone call. Within ten minutes, all the doctors in the
hospital were on standby. At three in the morning, a black BMW stopped at
the entrance of the hospital. With swift action, the nurses carried Yan Yi
onto the stretcher and pushed him into the operating room at the fastest
speed.
Lu Shangjin waited outside the operating room and listened to several
doctors explain the situation. Not long after, his assistant rushed over as
well, running the errand of going through the medical formalities in the
hallway.

The doctor was a beta. Facing the frosty cold face of Lu Shangjin, he froze
all over and his legs trembled. The pheromone pressure emitted by the
second-order differentiated gland was powerful and fierce. With a trembling
low voice, the beta doctor reported, “The patient injected some unknown
drugs into his glands, causing it to become uncontrollably imbalanced. The
situation is still uncertain and we will do our best. Lu xiansheng, please
wait patiently for the final results.”

The assistant hurried back after completing the formalities. Before even
wiping his sweat off, he heard Lu Shangjin ask in a low and sullen tone,
“How did this happen?”

The assistant cried without tears. How could he explain the lop-eared
rabbit’s impulsively strange behaviour?

On the edge of Lu Shangjin’s rage, he could say, “I don’t know”, but he

didn’t have that courage, so he could only try his best to recall Yan Yi’s
routine for the day and patted his forehead, “He stayed in Yuan xiansheng’s
hospital room the entire day, Yuan xiansheng should be resting around this
time… I can ask him tomorrow?”

Lu Shangjin swept the assistant aside, got on the elevator alone and stopped
on the floor of the intensive care unit.

The original best actor slept soundly, but was woken up by the loud kick on
the door. The next second, the lights turned on, pricking his eyes closed.
Suddenly, a hand picked him up and hauled him off the hospital bed.

Lu Shangjin looked down at him coldly.

After listening to Yuan Mi’s explanation, not only did Lu Shangjin’s anger
not dissipate but he stepped on Yuan Mi’s fragile abdomen without mercy.
Yuan Mi curled into a ball of shrimp in pain, a mouthful of blood clogged at
his throat. There was nowhere to hide under Lu Shangjin’s foot, and he
asked shrilly, “What does his crazy and stupid actions have anything to do
with me?! Jin ge, what have I done wrong for you to take your anger out on
me? I did stab his hand, but he didn’t suffer!”

Perhaps there hadn’t been news about an alpha destroying an omega whom
he had a 89% compatibility rate with. Lu Shangjin’s mania did not subside,
remaining cold and silent.

Stabbed his hand?

Lu Shangjin paused. He thought that Yan Yi’s unreasonable attack on Yuan

Mi was just a sudden intention.

Yuan Mi rubbed Lu Shangjin’s feet like a sorrowful believer begging the

gods, struggling to grasp onto a trouser leg, while his voice choked with
painful sobs sought for an answer.

“Jin ge…why…despite the 89% fit between us, why am I the one you hit?”

 Chap 6

On the Ubidaya snow mountain highway, Lu Shangjin, dressed in snow

camouflage, wiped the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle in his arms behind the
bunkers at the commanding heights. The same snow-camouflage painted
gun merged with the mottled snowy rocks.

He tapped on his earpiece, “Yan Yan.”

The rustling of rock-climbing sounded from the earpiece, and Yan Yi

answered, “I’m here.”

Lu Shangjin sent the information on the mob he had transferred to his watch
to Yan Yi, “Our opponents are an M2 electric eel alpha (Medium 2,
abbreviation for second-order differentiation), and the jackal alpha group
are mostly J1 differentiated (Junior 1, abbreviation for first-order
differentiation). I’ll deal with the electric eel.”

The gland cells of alphas and omegas have the probability of awakening
under the stimulation of certain pheromones. After they were roused, the
genes would be expressed as the biological characteristics of animals,
plants, insects etc. Once stimulated again after awakening, they would
advance to cell differentiation, which developed into diverse ability
expressions.

Lu Shangjin’s gland type was the M2 peregrine falcon (i.e. second-order

differentiated glands, with biological characteristics expressed as the bird of
prey- peregrine falcon). He acquired the peregrine falcon’s J1
differentiation ability of “extreme vision” and the M2 differentiation ability
of “location tracking”.
The electric eel race obtained the J1 differentiation ability of “insulation of
all things” and the M2 differentiation ability of “high voltage power”.

Whether alpha or omega, the probability of glands differentiating to J1 was

10%. On this basis, the probability of M2 differentiation was 1%. However,
the differentiation of omegas relied on the pheromone stimulation of alphas,
and the requirements were stricter. Hence, even differentiating to J1 was
extremely rare among the omega group. Their probability of differentiation
was low, and the awakening of biological characteristics were of docile
temperament, small in size and had to bear the responsibility of
reproduction, while instinctually easily influenced by alphas. For these
reasons and more, the number of high-order omegas were rare.

On the other hand, the number of alphas were larger, where their biological
characteristics awakened to express as raptors, beasts, and poisonous plants.
They had powerful attacks, strong and tall builds, and were the pillar gender
of various industries.

“A car is coming,” Yan Yi’s gentle voice came from the earpiece.

“The professor is in the car, we’ll go when you get her out. Be careful.” Lu
Shangjin stabilized the sniper rifle. Through the telescope, he could see the
tall and handsome figure in the distant snow.

Two speeding GTRs appeared at the end of the road, with the buzzing of
tremendous horsepower dragging snow mist all the way at high speed. This
type of sports vehicle accelerated at 100 kilometers in 2.7 seconds, violently
racing on the road at the fastest speed. Lu Shangjin closed an eye and
focused on his aim. It was difficult to aim a target moving at such high
velocity.

The fragrance of daffodil pheromones spread as Lu Shangjin released M2

cell differentiation pheromones and enabled the ability of “location
tracking”.

The front sight of the sniper rifle stuck onto the electric eel alpha who was
in the front passenger seat. The angle of the rifle turned stably with the
acceleration of the car, the shifting speed as it drove away unaffecting the
accuracy of Lu Shangjin’s bullet trajectory.

In the sight of his telescope, a snow-white figure suddenly appeared on the

centre of the highway. The lop-eared rabbit was wearing a white-
camouflage bulletproof suit, his hands carrying an elite high-firing portable
snow uzi, as his short light gray hair fluttered in the wind. The clear
sunlight from the high altitude region spilled on him. He was carved like an
exquisite and peerless Roman Valkyrie statue, violent yet beautiful.

The snow-painted uzi flipped rapidly in the palm of Yan Yi’s hand as he
inserted it back into the tactical belt on his waist. At the second when the
two speeding GTRs arrived in front of him, he held onto the cars’ hoods.

The horrifying sound of brakes almost shook the snow off the top of the
mountain, and the two jackal alphas were hauled directly out of the car
window–

Two top-speed Nissan GTRs.

Were forcibly stopped by a little lop-eared rabbit’s bare hands.

Yan Yi gently lifted his hand. With his right hand that was wearing a
handguard, he held the chassis of one of the cars, and the angle between the
car and the ground slowly increased. Yan Yi gritted his teeth as he lifted it
with force, and the whole car was thrown into the air.

A female beta who had lost consciousness due to the violent collision fell
from the window and into Yan Yi’s arms. Yan Yi took her in his arms and
held her single-handedly.

The whole car crashed to the ground, blood seeping out of the windows.
Yan Yi paused and turned to look back.

In the other car, the electric eel alpha in the passenger seat pointed an AK47
at Yan Yi, sizing him up imposingly with raised eyebrows. He whistled,
“Omega? Put down your gun.”
The jackal alphas who were still alive rushed out of the car and a dozen
AK47 muzzles surrounded Yan Yi in the center.

Yan Yi slowly put down the female professor, then tossed two uzi on the
ground and kicked them to the electric eel alpha in front of him.

The electric eel alpha stood deliberately close to him– if he had a teammate,
he must be afraid to shoot for fear of accidental injury.

Powerful oppressive alpha pheromones spread, a distinct difference from

the first-order differentiated pheromones of ordinary alphas. Instead, it was
the powerful second-order differentiated pheromones, which were
dreadfully oppressive and unbearable to vulnerable rabbit omegas. By now,
his legs would have gone soft as he knelt on the ground to cry and beg for
his life.

Yan Yi was unfazed. He opened the sealed neck guard, and the soft, sweet
scent of milk candy spread out. An omega who was trying to suppress the
pheromones by releasing his own was too funny.

Unexpectedly, behind him, the first-order differentiated jackal alpha

suddenly turned pale, picking up his tail and taking two steps back. The
muzzle of the gun trembled, as he was completely taken aback by the little
rabbit who was surrounded in the center.

Without warning, the electric eel alpha fired mercilessly.

Living on the edge of violence and danger for many years, the electric eel
alpha’s sixth sense was very sensitive. He was certain that if he didn’t shoot
now, he would not have the chance again–

The characteristic expression of the opponent was unexpectedly an A3 lop-

eared rabbit—- a lop-eared rabbit omega with third-order differentiated
glands.

Numerous guns were aimed at Yan Yi, bursts of sparks targeted at a single
point. The fuel tank of the GTR that crashed at high altitude suddenly
exploded, and the thick smoke of gunpowder accompanied by the flying
snow reduced the visibility to zero.

At that moment, the electric eel alpha felt his back turn cold.

Yan Yi was safe and sound. Holding the unconscious female beta in one
hand, he appeared behind the electric eel alpha and smiled gently next to his
ear, “Kidnapping a researcher from the base, a serious violation of joint
biosafety regulations. Lieutenant Colonel Yan Yi of the Pacific
Biodifferentiation Base, sending you off.”

The lop-eared rabbit’s J1 differentiation ability, ‘high-speed bounce’.

M2 differentiation ability, ‘fluid deformation’.

A3 differentiation ability, ‘transience’.

Before he could speak, the Uzi held in Yan Yi’s right hand hit the electric
eel alpha and fired.

Bursts of blood spurted out of the electric eel alpha from the bullet. He
instinctively resisted, dedicating all his pheromones towards killing this
lop-eared rabbit whose danger level was higher than a missle attack. High-
voltage electricity burst out of the electric eel alpha.

A gunshot fired. Sparks flew in all directions.

Lu Shangjin pulled the trigger, carrying the Mosin-Nagant sniper and

walked out of the bunker. He stepped on the debris of the high rock before
jumping down and walked towards Yan Yi.

The electric eel alpha fell at Yan Yi’s feet with a charred bullet hole
between his eyebrows.

Yan Yi stood in a daze. A piece of skin on his left arm was burnt; he had
been hit by the high-voltage electricity and didn’t avoid it in time.

Lu Shangjin walked over quickly and grabbed Yan Yi’s wrist. All of a
sudden, he pulled Yan Yi into his arms and hugged him tightly, his heart
palpitating rapidly. Like a drum, the beat shook Yan Yi’s cheek. He
clenched his teeth and bit off the gloves, heart wrenchingly pressing against
the wound, “Does it hurt? There’s medicine in the car.”

“Why didn’t you dodge?” Lu Shangjin held Yan Yi’s shoulders in fear.

Yan Yi sighed and said gently, “His pheromones were surprisingly highly
compatible with mine, probably above 90%? Like being entangled in a
spider’s web, it’s difficult for me to move.”

Lu Shangjin’s face visibly turned ice-cold.

Yan Yi held his injured left arm, lifting his face to kiss the corner of Lu
Shangjin’s lips, “I won’t be attracted. I love you, Jin ge.”

They took the unconscious female professor back. Before leaving, :Lu
Shangjin abnormally took the Uzi and shot the corpse of the electric eel
alpha into a sieve, half of the bullets targeting the glands on the back of his
neck.

But at that time, Yan Yi thought the 20 year old Lu Shangjin was very cool,
captivating him more than the highly compatible pheromones.

Like a well-behaved little rabbit toy, he stuck to Lu Shangjin’s side and

skipped along home. Once back, he took a hot shower, then slept
comfortably in Lu Shangjin’s arms until the next morning.

Yan Yi believed that he could love him all his life, and would never be
moved regardless of growing temptations.

On his ring finger, he tattooed a string of the English words “everlasting

love” and covered it with the wedding ring. He had never once told Lu
Shangjin. It was his own little secret that he firmly believed and spurred on.

——

A bedside lamp was turned on in the dark intensive care unit.

Yan Yi touched the gland that was aching with pain due to failed
anesthetics, discovering that there was a layer of gauze over it. He opened
his eyes, seeing an unlit light over his head, and the pungent smell of
disinfectant overflowed his nasal cavity.

Mixed in the odor of disinfectant was a familiar scent.

He was here. There was the scent of being hugged by him on his body.

Pleasantly surprised, Yan Yi sniffed carefully and confirmed it was Lu

Shangjin’s scent.

A little while later, he felt a sense of loss and touched his glands, but didn’t
feel anything. Perhaps the drug that improved one’s compatibility did not
exist. He was foolish yet again.

The door of the ward was gently pushed open, habitually not disturbing the
person sleeping soundly inside.

Lu Shangjin stood at the doorway and met Yan Yi’s line of sight, who was
sitting on the hospital bed wrapped in a white hospital gown.

“Jin…xiansheng.” Yan Yi paused. His first reaction was to pick out a rose
from the vase in the ward that was changed everyday, and take it in his hand
to give to Lu Shangjin.

Lu Shangjin placed a lunch box on the bedside table next to Yan Yi’s hand,
“The assistant bought it.”

Yan Yi felt overwhelmed by the unexpected favour. WIth slender hands that
had not yet regained their healthy blood colour, he picked up the lunch box
and opened it; a warm aroma, a bowl of small shrimp wontons.

He glanced at Lu Shangjin with gratitude. Using a small spoon to scoop one

up, he blew it to cool before eating in small bites.

Actually, he preferred to eat ones filled with shepherd’s purse or carrots.

But it didn’t matter, as long as it passed through Lu Shangjin’s hands,
everything tasted good.
As he continued to eat, his lips gradually pressed together.

Big drops of tears rolled into the soup.

Lu Shangjin watched him attentively, walking over next to him and

touching his hair.

Yan Yi put down the lunch box. He retracted into Lu Shangjin’s arms and
quietly put his head on the hollow in his shoulder, hugging Lu Shangjin’s
waist like a found lost treasure, sniffing with choked sobs, “I think the drug
is effective. Are the lab results out yet? Do we fit a little more today…?”

“Alright,” Lu Shangjin released soothing pheromones and stroked his hair,

“Don’t try all sorts of drugs by yourself. Fortunately, the injection dose was
small and not fatal. I had someone find a hamster gland type with a 97%
compatibility level, and the test results have just been released. You have a
high match for that gland type. If you’re really willing to give up your rare
gland, I’ll arrange the surgery for you.”

Yan Yi’s eyes brightened, his little rabbit ears raised up in pleasant surprise,
“I’m willing! I’m willing!”

Lu Shangjin frowned slightly, “it’s a cream-scented hamster gland. Because

of the high degree of match with your gland, the success rate of the
operation is higher, but it doesn’t mean it won’t fail.”

Yan Yi buried his head in Lu Shangjin’s arms as he prayed, “Please, let me

try… even if it fails…”

Even if it failed, Lu Shangjin’s love for him wouldn’t be worse than what it
is now.

If it succeeded, he could ascend from hell to heaven with a single step.

He could feel that Lu Shangjin’s feelings towards him had already been
very weak and faint, but not completely absent, and the love could be
rekindled with a higher pheromone compatibility. Yan Yi proceeded without
hesitation.
After leaving the battlefield, the precious third-order differentiated glands
were not as valuable to Yan Yi as an ordinary weak hamster.

Lu Shangjin hoped that he could like Yan Yi. With an equal compatibility
level, he hoped the one who accompanied him by his side was Yan Yi
instead of someone else.

This was his honest thought.

Yan Yi was not the only one who hoped their feelings would not gradually
drift away. Lu Shangjin also had an expectation—-

Let Yan Yi become more compatible with him, let the rusty feelings restore
to what they once were. Love will deteriorate, but pheromones will not.

He could recall the fragments of their lingering love in the past; eighteen
year old love, the turmoil and chaos of war, wantonly pure.

In actual fact, he hoped more than anyone that he could fall in love with
Yan Yi again, but it was a pity that he was unable to, honestly.

What if it failed.

Then, forget it.

The surgery was scheduled for next month.

 Chap 7

A full pot of green vicks plant sat on the window in the intensive care unit.

Cloaked in a white blanket, Yan Yi hugged his knees and sat by the window
as he looked at this plant. It was usually scentless, but when it’s thick and
soft succulent leaves were gently touched, and if one leaned in close to sniff
it, a fresh scent would be emitted like a mimosa.

Yan Yi pulled out a small succulent leaf and put it in his mouth to eat. It
tasted pleasantly sweet, like jelly.
He had stayed in the ward for a week, and this pot of vicks plant was about
to be nibbled bald by him.

An anesthetic injection would be given to him everyday, which allowed his

glands to gradually become dormant in preparation for the replacement
surgery next month.

The entire floor of the intensive care unit was very quiet, and no one would
disturb the patients unnecessarily. Footsteps could be heard a few meters
away from the door. Yan Yi raised his ears to listen, but dropped back down
with a little disappointment.

He hadn’t seen Lu Shangjin in a week.

Lu Shangjin had a busy schedule in his company. It was difficult to spare

time to visit Yan Yi.

Yan Yi could only wait quietly.

When he was bored, he would scroll through Weibo. In his following list,
there were several automatically-followed celebrities, many of whom he
had met face to face but was not familiar with.
After he thought for a while, he searched up Yuan Mi’s name.

With a couple million fans, regardless if a Weibo post was useful or not, it
would have a few hundred thousand reposts.

A very hot chicken.

Seeing that his latest news was about his discharge, Yan Yi went forward to
the video of the press interview he had done before. In the video, Yuan Mi
was three parts weak and seven parts strong. After watching, mother fans
would shed their tears and ache for him, alpha fans would be in anguish and
agony, and omega fans would be filled with jealousy.

Swiping again, it was Yuan Mi’s appearance on a variety show. Several

beautiful celebrities joked and chatted with the host. Yuan Mi said a few
words once in a while, humorous and polite.

Yan Yi looked at him, and looked back at himself. He was like the only fish
raised in a fish tank, separated from the world outside by a layer of glass.
He had no friends and no social circle. There was only Lu Shangjin in his
world.

What’s it like to be liked and sought after?

He thought he could still remember, but no matter how much he recalled he

couldn’t remember more. It had been ten years; except for some fragments
that were engraved in his bones and imprinted on his heart, most details
were like the coarse gravel on pebbles, washed away by the sea, and
gradually turning round until they disappeared, as if they never existed.

Only Yan Yi knew they once existed, worn away by time.

Yan Yi lifted his hand and looked at the ring on his right ring finger.
Moving gently away, the slight blurred edges of the tiny tattoo ‘everlasting
love’ could still be seen.

“Soon…in less than a month.” Soon, there would be someone willing to

love him. With a 97% compatibility fit, how gentle would Lu Shangjin
become?

At that time, would he be able to act coquettish once in a while and allow
himself to be spoon fed?

He could sleep in his arms everyday. When he wakes up, the first thing he
would see is not the cold ceiling, but his alpha’s peaceful sleeping side
profile.

In the future, he wouldn’t have to endure his unbearable heat alone. His
alpha would wrap him with soothing pheromones, no longer letting him
wait until late at night alone, where he would be sleeping at the corner of
the sofa hugging a small blanket, and a hearty dinner left waiting on the
table with the news of “not coming back home tonight”.

Yan Yi closed his eyes in exhaustion. The daily injection of anesthetic drugs
caused him to become more powerless than he wished to be, his glands
gradually becoming dormant, and his body function weakened, which made
him very very tired. The time that he couldn’t see Lu Shangjin had also
become more unbearable, as though he had been running on a treadmill for
several hours, but couldn’t find a bottle of water anywhere.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, the nurse pushed the door open on time to
give Yan Yi an anesthetic injection.

The solution was pushed slowly into his glands. Yan Yi’s entire body curled
up as he endured the ice-cold feeling engulfing his body and the suffocating
nausea in his chest. He lied by the bed to retch, but couldn’t vomit out
anything, so he nestled back weakly into the blankets.

The nurse watched him with sympathy, gently patting his back, “This must
be hard on you. The side effects of this type of anesthetic are like that… if
your alpha were by your side, you wouldn’t be so uncomfortable, where did
he go?”

Yan Yi closed his eyes, “He’s very busy. I’m fine, you should go take care
of the other patients.”
The nurse came to the hospital on an internship not too long ago, but she
hadn’t seen an omega who would be preparing to go through such a
dangerous operation without an alpha to accompany him before. She could
only say a few words of comfort before closing the door of the ward and
leaving.

Yan Yi curled up in the blanket until eight o’clock at night. The discomfort
that enveloped his body did not fade. He went to the bathroom to throw up
twice, and his whole body looked like he had been fished out of water with
sweat soaking the light blue hospital gown.

He fumbled under the pillow for his phone, dialing the number that he
could dial with his eyes closed, and waited for the person to answer.

It wasn’t until the cold and detached ‘beep beep’ sound repeated for over
ten times that the person answered. Several people could be heard talking
about a project in the background. Lu Shangjin said impatiently, “I’m
outside. What’s the matter?”

Yan Yi shivered and remained silent, not knowing what to say.

He wanted Lu Shangjin to come back and accompany him.

But he also knew that nothing good would come out of it if he said these
words.

As Lu Shangjin waited, he became more impatient, “Say something.”

Yan Yi said weakly, “It’s nothing, I just miss you. Don’t overwork
yourself.”

Lu Shangjin spoke a few words to others and explained some things before
turning back to listen to Yan Yi, “Is there anything else?”

Yan Yi thought for a while. Just as he was about to say no, Lu Shangjin
hung up.

He held his phone up to his ear silently and remained in a daze in that
position for a long time.
Looking through his contacts, he found that he had saved Yuan Mi’s
number as he had stayed with him in the hospital a few days ago.

Yan Yi dialed the number with boredom. It rang for a while, but no one
picked up.

It’s normal for the Best Actor to attend to hundreds of other important
matters everyday and didn’t have time to answer the phone.

He scrolled through his contacts again. Besides clients, there were a few big
bosses. No one was able to talk to him now.

He became more and more muddleheaded. The phone screen suddenly lit
up with an unknown number flashing on the incoming call page.

Unaware, he pressed answer.

A man who didn’t seem gentle asked, “What are you up to?”

Wrong number?

The voice sounded a little familiar.

Yan Yi wasn’t in the mood to think too much. He buried his head in the
blanket. Perhaps he was too eager for someone to talk to him, so he
whispered, “I’m sleeping.”

The man on the other line laughed coquettishly, “You’re still talking when
you’re sleeping?”

How could he still nag after calling the wrong number? Yan Yi said
reluctantly, “Not feeling well.”

“Not feeling well? Why?” He asked, as though he really was a little

worried.

Yan Yi was too tired to talk, so he hung up.

When he was feeling groggy, the screen lit up again with the same string of
numbers.

Actually, he wasn’t worried that someone might pinpoint his exact location
to seek revenge, but so far, no one could pose a threat to him. Yan Yi
paused for a while before answering.

It was still that man who spoke with a frivolous and arrogant tone, the
assertive aura of an alpha carried along the cable oppressively, “Hello,
where are you?” This phone number was coincidentally obtained after
spending a lot of money, so he wasn’t about to give up the harassment
easily.

At the same time, the pager in the next ward happened to ring, which was
acutely caught by the alpha, “Are you in the hospital? Which hospital?”

Yan Yi took a deep breath and replied lazily, “I can’t explain this to you,
because I’m just a little bunny.”

What am I talking about?

Yan Yi turned over and put his arm over his eyes.

The alpha on the other end laughed for a long time, “I know.”

A psycho alpha, Yan Yi thought.

A sense of nausea clogged his throat again. Yan Yi hurried to the bathroom
to throw up. When he returned, his breaths were faint like wisps of air, and
his mind was in a haze.

The call surprisingly hadn’t been cut off.

The alpha was obviously suspicious, “Are you seriously ill?”

Yan Yi vaguely replied, “I feel so awful… Come back and stay with me… I
miss you so much… Just for one day… Just one night will do… Can you
stay on the phone? Listening to your voice will help… “
“……”

The other party became quiet.

Yan Yi asked, “Are you still there…”

“Yes.” He answered, his voice unlike the previous banter tone, but more
dignified.

“If… this surgery fails… will I die?” Yan Yi asked softly.

The other party was silent for a moment, “…no, don’t be afraid.”

……

Yan Yi laughed a little, “If it fails, just let me disappear. Living is extremely
tiring, extremely tiring.”

“You… you lie down first.” The alpha was a little impatient and seemed to
be thinking of ways, such as how to release some soothing pheromones
through the telephone line. Fruitless, he could only try, “I’ll touch you.”

Yan Yi arched his body and endured the intermittent dull pain in his bone
marrow.

His imagination was guided to materialize. It seemed there really was a pair
of hands gently caressing his back. Yan Yi breathed softly, his voice as
small as a mosquito’s, “It hurts so much.”

——

At noon the next day, Yan Yi was woken up by the soft squeaking sound of
the door pushing open. He raised his gaze to see Lu Shangjin coming in
with a nurse who was carrying some medicine.

“How is he?” Lu Shangjin asked about Yan Yi’s recent physical condition.

Yan Yi had a lingering fear of the drug’s side effects that tormented him for
more than ten hours the day before. Wrapped in the bedding, he rubbed the
corner of the bed, “I’ll go off the medication today, let me get used to it
again.”

Lu Shangjin frowned, “You can’t be negligent about this operation. Endure

it.”

Yan Yi closed his eyes, “Okay.”

As an injection needle pushed into his glands, Yan Yi’s face turned white.

Lu Shangjin sat beside the bed, holding onto Yan Yi’s cheek in pity, and fed
him a strawberry.

Yan Yi swallowed with difficulty.

Lu Shangji looked at him strangely, “You used to like eating this. Are you
throwing a tantrum?” He was busy when he picked up Yan Yi’s call
yesterday, and he came today as he was free.

But Yan Yi was ungrateful.

Yes, I like it very much.

However, when he wanted to eat strawberries, Lu Shangjin gave him an

apple.

He didn’t want strawberries now. He only wanted to be held.

Lu Shangjin fed him a strawberry.

 Chap 8

The bright red strawberries of the same sizes were delicately arranged in the
paper box. They were most likely freshly picked and arrived by air, even
being able to smell its fresh and sweet fragrance. Yan Yi knew that half of it
was the smell of money. He could only use the remaining strength he had
after resisting the pain to put on an expression that he liked eating them.

His stomach churned and twisted as though a strong man was wringing a
towel. Almost about to wring dry, Yan Yi suppressed the gripping pain and
swallowed the cold watery food.

He ate more than ten in a row.

What he enjoyed wasn’t the strawberries, but the soothing pheromones

tainted on the hand that fed each strawberry,

There were subtle functional differences in the pheromones of a person’s

glands, which could be roughly divided into different functions such as
oppression, soothing, courtship etc, each changing according to the mood of
the body.

Releasing soothing pheromones required the alpha to be patient and tranquil

in order for it to take effect. Out of desire to protect a naturally weak
omega, it will naturally flow out of the gland and stimulate the receptors of
the omega’s glands, transmitting nerve impulses to the center, so the omega
would receive a sufficient sense of security as it functions as an analgesic
and stabilizer.

As Lu Shangjin lacked patience, releasing soothing pheromones made him

tired.

As well as the desire to protect Yan Yi.

An omega who was standing on top of the pyramid, with a third-grade
differentiated top gland that alphas couldn’t even catch up to, able to
forcibly stop two GTRs with his bare hands, able to catch an AK47 bullet of
high velocity with his bare hands, and break the bulletproof glass of a
helicopter with his bare hands. Such a one-in-a-million omega was wearing
out Lu Shangjin’s pity year after year.

Lu Shangjin had bought a pair of expensive wedding rings and knelt down
on one knee to put it on Yan Yi’s ring finger, so Yan Yi mistakenly thought
they were married.

After the mark was removed from his gland, and had no longer become a
hindrance, Lu Shangjin thought they had broken up. To Yan Yi, it was the
breakdown of a family, and the shelter he had lived in for more than ten
years no longer had his name.

He felt as though he had bought a tube of toothpaste when the days were
tight.

When it was first bought, even a slight squeeze would produce a large
amount, and he would want to suck it back. Once a lot was used, he would
begin to fold and crush it, rolling it into a roll and wanting to squeeze only a
bean-sized amount. He’d become exhausted, but as it could still always be
squeezed out, he wouldn’t throw it away for the time being.

The invulnerable little rabbit didn’t need protection at all.

Lu Shangjin touched his head, “I have an afternoon flight, just a short

business trip, when I come back I’ll take you home.”

Yan Yi’s heart sank after hearing the words “business trip”, but was much
relieved after hearing the second half of the sentence.

He smiled as a weight lifted off his mind, why did putting the three ordinary
words ‘take you home’ together become so warm? Like a match suddenly
lighting up in the bitter cold, sparkling in the reflection in Yan Yi’s eyes.
“Mn, take me home…” Yan Yi held onto Lu Shangjin’s hand before he
could retreat back and kissed his fingertips.

Lu Shangjin leaned down and kissed between his eyebrows, “Be good.”

After he left, Yan Yi was left alone in the empty grey and white intensive
care unit. He took out a pen and his notebook that he often used to record
his memories, flipped to a new page, and wrote down three words, ‘take
you home’.

A plus sign was added after, ‘+ 112 points’.

Every time Lu Shangjin made him sad, he would subtract one point. He
didn’t want to like him anymore after subtracting down to zero from a
hundred points.

Until just now, Lu Shangjin’s score was minus 12, enough to have his
license revoked. But Yan Yi still loved him.

Just a sentence about going home was able to completely fill his broken
heart.

Yan Yi spent two hours leaning against the toilet bowl in the washroom,
throwing up all the cold strawberry juice stirring in his stomach.

His empty stomach felt a little more comfortable.

Climbing back into his bed nest, he scrolled through Weibo and boredly
unfollowed all the people he didn’t know on his following list. He didn’t
really know how to use the app in the past, and had followed hundreds of
random accounts.

After unfollowing several accounts, it seemed that a protection mechanism

was triggered. A verification code was needed for each unfollow.

In a daze, Yan Yi entered the code one by one. When he came back to his
senses, the only person left on his following list was Yuan Mi.

It turns out that a person could be bored to this point.

Best actor Yuan’s new drama had been released; a gorgeous costume drama
poster, wearing black clothes and a pair of swords with a cold expression, as
he stood in the center position next to a long-haired alluring alpha with a
sense of strong destructive power.

The fans howled as they competed for the hottest comment with
screenshots, the ‘ahhhhhh’ comments sounded like ear-shattering voices.

In the GIF, the alluring alpha lowered his head to kiss Yuan Mi’s forehead.
Yuan Mi lifted a pair of watery and innocent puppy-like eyes, looking
affectionately at his partner. It was a little forceful, but the expression of a
prostitute was still there.

The kiss that Lu Shangjin placed between his eyebrows was similar to the
one in this picture, perfectly charming with just the right angle of his head
lowered, as perfunctory and estranged as to fulfil a certain kind of lens
effect.

Yan Yi also posted a comment:

“Great acting.”

——

Ten minutes later, this had been insulted by thousands of fans’ comments
and became a hot comment.

“Now the fake fans have been hidden so deeply? Are you the one with 88
personalities?”

“Meaning- our Yuan Yuan, you can do it if you tried, nmsl1 heart.”

“Longans2 don’t cause accidental injuries, what if they’re a new fan, please
control it. Don’t attract haters for Yuan Yuan, thank you.”

Yan Yi: “……”

Yuan Mi was still on set as he scrolled through Weibo while getting his
makeup done. When he saw the hot comment on his Weibo post, “great
acting”, he narrowed his eyes immediately.

He looked at the ID.

‘How can you eat bunnies’.

An unknown burst of fire squeezed up to Yuan Mi’s neck, and he took a bite
of a malva nut and forced it down. He opened the Meituan app and ordered
two catties of rabbit head.

Just as he placed his order, a phone call came in.

He confirmed the caller was ‘Director Xia’; someone who couldn’t be

provoked.

“Hello director Xia.” Yuan Mi smiled politely. He covered his mouth with
the script and went to a corner to speak softly.

“Send me the address of the hospital. The money has been added to your
card.”

It was the arrogant and irreverent tone of an alpha.

——

Not long after, Yan Yi received a private message that he had been blocked
and deleted, and not allowed to post comments for three days.

For the first time in his life, so many people had talked to him. It’s a pity
that this lively state died within 15 minutes.

Teasing best actor Yuan could really kill time. After six to seven hours, Yan
Yi was too tired to even hold his phone. He nestled into his pillow, waiting
for the spread of swelling pain in his bones to hit like a tide, the drug to
kick in, and the torture that came day after day.

Sometimes, he wanted to go outside for a walk. Loneliness wasn’t caused

by suffering from insomnia in the dead of the night, but he wanted to have a
drink occasionally, flip through his address book, then forget about it after
some thought.

It was almost eight o’clock. Yan Yi ran to the bathroom several times but
couldn’t vomit anything. In the end, he didn’t even have the energy to climb
back to bed, so he lied on the edge of the toilet seat, as sorry as an arrogant
uncle who had drunk half a pound of Wu Liang Yue liquor.

He knelt beside the toilet and fell asleep, so it was more convenient to
throw up.

When Lu Shangjin was around, he wouldn’t forget his manners. He showed

Lu Shangjin his most perfect and strong side, not wanting to add adjectives
such as “troublesome” to the already fading impression in his heart.

At midnight, the door of the ward opened gently, and a tall, straight figure
carried a stack of square boxes and walked inside. Instead of turning on the
bright overhead light, he used the illuminated screen on his phone and
turned on the small, dim table lamp at the head of the bed so as to not wake
the person sleeping under the blanket.

The alpha held his breath, not releasing a single trace of smell of his
pheromones. When he glanced at the bed, it was empty.

He looked around the ward and found a little rabbit curled up asleep on the
ground in the bathroom.

From his impression of the little lop-eared rabbit who carried a black
helmet in one hand and pointed a Desert Eagle at his forehead with the
other, he was like a different person. He was as weak as a butterfly with
broken wings, dead from the first north wind in the harsh winter.

In his restless sleep, Yan Yi felt his body gently being carried, and then a
sufficient amount of soothing pheromones spread, protecting the weak
body. Yan Yi’s tensely curled body slowly relaxed as he leaned against the
warm chest.
He had never felt such reassuring comfort. The person patiently released the
soothing pheromones, neither irritable, nor mingling with disordered
impurities.

The light smell filled the air. It was hard to distinguish what the scent was;
it could occasionally be smelled in the flower shop, seemingly like Baby’s
Breath flowers.

The sufficient soothing pheromones accompanied him until six in the

morning before it disappeared.

Yan Yi slept until noon and was woken up by the nurse who brought his
medicine in. Next to his pillow, there was a stack of paper boxes left behind
by someone unknown.

He opened them to have a look; the three boxes were imported timothy hay.

While giving him the medicine, the nurse asked, ‘Who sent these tea
leaves?”

Yan Yi couldn’t remember clearly. The window was wide open, and the
only smell of pheromones that would help determine the identity of the
visitor had also disappeared before Yan Yi woke up.

He said, “It’s not tea.”

The nurse asked curiously, “What is it?”

Yan Yi took a handful of hay and put it into his mouth. It was fragrant and
chewy, he couldn’t help eating another handful.

“It’s rabbit food.”

For the next few days, this became the only staple food he could stomach
down without throwing up.

But he didn’t dare to investigate, and resisted finding out who the faint
smell of Baby’s Breath on the boxes belonged to, his instinctual fear
coming from the kindness of strangers.
When Lu Shangjin returned, Yan Yi’s state had improved. He gradually
adapted to the side effects of the anesthetic, so he could go home and wait
for the operation.

Yan Yi sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window at the green belt
speeding past, but he was actually looking at Lu Shangjin’s sharp and
alluring side profile in the rearview mirror.

In the past, Yan Yi would be the one to drive, so there were few
opportunities to look at Lu Shangjin quietly, to watch him for a long time
without being distrubed or refused.

As the car drove in an unfamiliar direction, Yan Yi suddenly became alert

and asked in astonishment, “We’re not going home?”

Lu Shangjin continued to look straight ahead. When they reached a red

light, the slender fingertips tapped gently against the leather sheath of the
steering wheel.

“Going to my house. My parents want me to take you back to visit.”

During the business trip, Lu Lin made another international call to urge Lu
Shangjin once again, he was pestered beyond endurance.

The corner of Yan Yi’s mouth that always carried a little tilt became
extremely stiff. The tip of his nose quivered slightly and his feet stamped
uncontrollably,

“No, I’m not going, Jin ge, I’m not going!”

Trembling, he held onto his left hand and hid it behind his back, retracting
into his sleeve. His palms turned cold with sweat as he held the glands at
the back of his neck with fear.

 Chap 9

A black BMW drove into the suburbs of Chang Hui city on a gravel road,
before entering an aristocratic residence that was developed a few years
ago. The snow-white fence enclosed a garden of tulips, surrounding the Lu
family mansion in the center.

The passive style of the establishment had ultra-low energy consumption,

assembled with an integral high-performance exterior wall to maintain a
pleasant indoor temperature.

Yan Yi hugged his knees anxiously as he nestled in the passenger seat, his
weak body crowded into a corner. As the pine forest appeared before his
eyes, he could only see a layer of dust covering the pine cones, and thin,
tiny spider webs decorated the European style white fence. A falling pine
needle accidentally dropped on the opposite windshield as the car passed
by.

In this serene world, all disharmony was infinitely magnified in Yan Yi’s
eyes. He breathed anxiously as he remained holding onto his left hand,
feeling a dull pain. The closer they approached the residence, the more
intense his chest felt the sense of choking suppression.

Lu Shangjin didn’t notice Yan Yi’s abnormal reactions, nor did he often pay
attention to Yan Yi.

Yan Yi carefully took out a small handful of Timothy hay from his pocket,
eating them little by little. There was only one pocket left, he had to save it.

The light scent contaminated on the hay barely allowed him to stay calm.

Lu Shangjin just glanced to the right, “What are you eating?”

Yan Yi was taken aback and answered truthfully, “Timothy hay. A kind of
rabbit… snack.” He thought in fear about how he would answer Lu
Shangjin’s question.

Lu Shangjin raised his eyebrows, “You like eating this?”

Yan Yi nodded, “It’s okay.”

The car stopped outside the house, and a large, golden-brown thing rushed
towards them; the golden long-haired Tibetan Mastiff tied up in the small
garden pounced out, it’s barks shaking the ground. Yan Yi’s entire body
froze in fear and he subconsciously grabbed Lu Shangjin’s hand.

He was feeling anxious, and even easily frightened. Yan Yi’s third-grade
differentiated glands that could protect himself were already completely
dormant. At the moment, he could barely be compared to an ordinary little
lop-eared rabbit omega.

Lu Shangjin shook Yan Yi’s hand and frowned, “It won’t bite you.”

Lu Shangjin led him to the door and laughed without a care, “Did you learn
how to pretend to be pitiful from Yuan Mi? When you were my bodyguard
in the past, you weren’t so timid.”

“…” Yan Yi bit his lips and unexpectedly retorted, “In the past, my glands
weren’t dormant. If you don’t like that I’m weak, you shouldn’t change it.”

After blurting out his refute, Yan Yi instantly repented and he looked away
in remorse. He was unable to hold his tongue from being in an
uncontrollable state of anxiety and irritability. He had never forgotten his
manners like this before, as though an egg paste was filled and baked in a
tin foil tray, the air expanding so much that he felt pain all over.

Lu Shangjin looked at him in slight surprise. He took Yan Yi’s hand in front
of him and placed it to his lips, saying patiently, “Be good. Once we have a
97% fit, we’ll never be separated in the future. I will take care of you and
protect you. Don’t mention this to my father, understand?”
Lu Shangjin loosened his grip, not wanting to appear too clingy in front of
his family.

Yan Yi still wanted to hold his hand, but Lu Shangjin pushed him away,
walking into the house alone. Yan Yi’s hand paused mid-air, and his
fingertips tightened with a sense of loss, not knowing where to put them.

Watching that wide and slender hand leaving his line of sight, Yan Yi
retracted his hand into his sleeve and went up the stairs silently.

A middle-aged alpha wearing a pair of gold-rimmed reading glasses sat on

a rattan chair in front of the French windows, drinking tea. When he heard
the sound of footsteps approaching on the porch, he took the initiative to
stand up without caring about his position as the head of the family, and let
Yan Yi sit in with a smile.

He was a first-grade differentiated alpha with the gland type of a J1

peregrine falcon. Although the natural compressive force exuding from him
wasn’t strong, Yan Yi’s legs trembled in the face of the two bird-of-prey
alphas without the support and protection of his third-grade glands.

Whether it was gender or species food chain, lop-eared rabbits were of the
lowest minority race. Alphas did not even exist within this race, only
omegas and betas.

This made Yan Yi feel a great sense of impending crisis.

While he was distracted, Lu Shangjin went into the cloakroom to change

into casual clothes. Yan Yi was startled and chased after him, wanting to
grasp onto a corner of Lu Shangjin’s clothes, but he was stopped by Lu Lin
and could only sit back down stiffly.

Lu Lin held a cup of tea in his hands as he sat across Yan Yi and pushed a
tray of fruits towards him, “Yan Yan, have some fruits. You don’t have to be
polite in your own home.”

Yan Yi’s fingertips trembled. He took an apple and held it in his hand, his
eyelids lowered as he dared not look at Lu Lin.
Lu Lin released some soothing pheromones and touched Yan Yi’s hair, “It’s
been so many years, how are you still so afraid?”

The soothing pheromones from the source of fear could not produce a
calming effect at all. Yan Yi hid his left hand behind his back and
whispered, “I… I…”

Lu Lin smiled faintly, “Is it because uncle has been too severe with your
training? No pain, no gain. Having third-grade differentiated glands is the
reward for your efforts.”

Yan Yi nodded forcibly.

When Lu Lin saw that the wedding ring on Yan Yi’s right finger was still
there, he nodded in satisfaction and leaned back against his chair, “You’re
not young anymore, you should start planning your wedding with Shangjin,
or have a child first.”

Yan Yi lowered his head modestly, “Forget the wedding.”

Lu Lin paid particular attention to this and instantly rejected Yan Yi’s
opinion. He must let all the fellows who covet the A3 lop-eared rabbit
glands clearly know that this little rabbit had been marked by the Lu family.
Don’t even think about recklessly taking him.

In actual fact, Yan Yi wanted to have a child more than anyone else. That
way, whenever he had to wait for Lu Shangjin to come home on lonely
nights, he would at least have a warm and lovely little one by his side.

The two had nothing to say, each in their own thoughts.

The busy servant in the dining room put some sliced watermelons and
purified water into the automatic juicer and turned on the switch.

When the hum of the juicer transmitted into Yan Yi’s sensitive rabbit ears,
his face turned pale in an instant. He let out an uncontrollable sob and
hurriedly fled to the bedroom upstairs.
Lu Lin sighed and peeled an apple himself. After all, rabbits were rabbits,
an extremely fragile creature. No matter how high the differentiated grade
of their glands were, it was beyond treatment.

The training was nothing more than to advance his grade differentiation.
Since he had this innate talent, it was only for his own good to be strict and
harsh.

There were several spacious and brightly lit bedrooms upstairs, but Yan Yi
followed his childhood memory and broke into the small storage room in
the deepest part. In the storage room, there were washed bed sheets and
pillows. It was narrow and dim, but it was the little nest that accompanied
the young lop-eared rabbit for the longest time.

In the quilt cabinet filled with moth balls, there was also a little nest Yan Yi
built for himself when he was a child. This massive house was like a prison,
and only this soft and warm little nest belonged to himself.

Yan Yi squeezed into it in panic, curling up in a small ball and closed the
door of the quilt cabinet. Shivering in the dark, he put his left hand to his
lips and licked it to reassure himself that he was safe and sound, only then
could he quietly shrink back and calm down.

He subconsciously protected his belly.

He didn’t know when it started, but the smooth and flat belly bulged out in
an indistinguishable arc. Yan Yi became more irritable as he could just
instinctively protect his soft belly. He lifted a feather-filled quilt from the
cabinet and wrapped himself into a rabbit-eared glutinous rice dumpling.

——

Lu Shangjin made a special call to his assistant after changing into casual
clothes.

“Buy a type of snack called Timothy hay, it looks like tea leaves, a German
brand.”
The assistant was filled with questions.

Lu Lin waited for him in the parlor. When Lu Shangjin sat across from him,
he pushed a cup of Gong Fu tea towards him.

“Where is he?” Lu Shangjin stretched his long legs on the carpet, resting his
hand on a pillow as he glanced through the afternoon schedule sent by his
assistant.

Lu Lin said slowly, “Upstairs, he’s probably tired. Let him stay here
tonight, I specifically ordered to clean up a room for him.”

Lu Shangjin said perfunctorily, “I have something to attend to in the

afternoon, I’ll pick him up after.”

Lu Lin refused seriously, “No. It’s regarding the future heir of the Lu
family, it can’t be ignored.”

Lu Shangjin put away his phone, staring down at Lu Lin with a slightly
sharp look in his eyes, “I’ve said before, he is more likely to bear a litter of
rabbits than an alpha.”

Lu Lin said lightly, “Then keep giving birth until an alpha with the potential
to differentiate into the third-grade appears.”

“Not possible.” Lu Shangjin took a sip of his tea, “Stop speaking

nonsense.”

“Do you feel bad?” Lu Lin’s face turned gloomy, “Other big families will
also catch omegas with mutant glands to carry on the family line, breeding
them in captivity. By comparison, Yan Yi is more fortunate.”

“No need.” Lu Shangjn looked down at his documents.

——

Yan Yi shrank inside the quilt cabinet, holding his slightly arched belly. His
instincts drove him to pull down soft items to build a nest for himself,
sinking into them as he fell into a restless sleep.
His phone screen suddenly lit up, the light extremely harsh in the darkness
where he couldn’t see his fingers. Yan Yi answered before it rang.

“Little white rabbit, are you feeling better?” It’s the alpha who called the
wrong number, “Have you gotten used to eating the gift I sent you?”

“Thank you… you don’t have to send any more next time. I’ll transfer the
money to you, don’t call again in the future.” Yan Yi declined with an
expressionless face.

He should have hung up.

He didn’t have a mark, any alpha could regard him as prey, or a mate.

But his instincts forbade him to refuse an alpha who tried to contact him
while he was pregnant.
 Chap 10

The narrow, pitch-black quilt cabinet was like a small refuge, isolated in
this corner of the quiet world, away from the dangerous and boisterous
noise.

Yan Yi lied inside the little quilt nest, silently listening to the alpha on the
phone who tried to find a conversational topic to talk about.

“What surgery will you be going for?” The alpha was constantly a little
worried about this.

Yan Yi refused to tell him.

“Where are you now?” The alpha asked.

Yan Yi said quietly, “In the quilt cabinet, I’m preg- pregnant, my stomach is
bulging out, I have to stay in the nest.”

He seemed to have heard the person on the line drop something, and from a
direction beyond the phone receiver, he listened to a voice saying, “fuck,
fuck”.

The alpha’s gasp was distinctively more harsh than before, “You have an
alpha? Why aren’t you marked? Why did he let you get pregnant now when
you’re about to go for surgery? Where did this dick of a dog alpha come
from?”

Yan Yi shrank into a smaller ball, his soft rabbit ears shook and curled into
cream cheese rolls, “You’re too loud.”

Stunned, the alpha lowered his voice.

Yan Yi touched his slightly bulging belly, “Don’t blame him… it happened
more than ten days ago, we didn’t know I would be going for surgery at that
time, it looks like I have to delay the surgery.”

The alpha didn’t speak anymore.

DId he sleep through some parts of physiology class in university? How

could an omega have a reaction after being pregnant for over ten days?
Even his stomach is bulging.

The alpha asked puzzledly, “Are you sure? Is there anyone with you? No
one cared even when you were in so much pain before, and it was me who
traveled all the way with great effort to… bring you snacks.”

He was afraid of offending this little rabbit, so he didn’t continue.

In the ward, the alpha had held him throughout the night, consistently
releasing soothing pheromones and gently caressing him to make him feel a
little better.

Although much of his dedication was due to his attraction to Yan Yi’s
pheromones.

From the moment he met Yan Yi at the gas station on the highway for the
first time, the alpha felt a great sense of gravitational temptation; they were
most likely very compatible.

As long as the lop-eared rabbit wouldn’t be marked one day, every alpha in
the world would have a chance to pursue him. What’s more, he was so
beautiful and sexy.

So the alpha didn’t want to give up too easily.

Yan Yi lied on his side in the nest, speaking in a languid and slightly hoarse
voice, “Don’t call again, my alpha treats me very well, the only reason he
couldn’t keep me company was because he’s very busy with work.”

He held my hand today, and I could dream of receiving his wholehearted

love and affection.
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, the quilt cabinet door was pulled
open. Yan Yi’s rabbit ears stood upright from the blinding light. He raised
his arm to cover his eyes, and the phone fell into the corner with the line
still connected.

Lu Shangjin looked down at Yan Yi from above, “Why are you hiding here?
The hospital had just informed me that the omega who was ahead of you on
the waiting list was temporarily transferred to another hospital, so you can
undergo the gland replacement operation tomorrow. Come back with me to
get ready.”

Yan Yi’s eyes hadn’t adjusted to the light from outside, he squinted them
into slits as he looked at Lu Shangjin, “I’m not having the operation…I’ll
do it after a while, I’m preg…”

“Why are you acting up again?” Lu Shangjin was dissatisfied with his
repeated disobedience today. Grabbing Yan Yi’s wrist, he abrasively
dragged his entire body out of the cabinet and tossed him at his feet.

Pregnant rabbits will become extremely aggressive, irritable and violent.

Yan Yi was also infuriated by this threatening action as he grabbed Lu
Shangjin’s forearm.

His original strength was sufficient enough to expel any threat a few meters
away. But he didn’t have a single bit of strength left as his glands had been
continuously injected with drugs. He was as weak as a vine clinging onto
Lu Shangjin’s sleeve, able to break away with a gentle touch.

He could only protect his little belly as he retreated into the corner of the
wall, staring warily at Lu Shangjin, “I’m not having the operation, don’t
come any closer.”

Lu Shangjin forcibly grabbed Yan Yi’s arm and hauled him out, “Get over
here.”

Yan Yi struggled desperately, trying to pull his hand out of the pincer-like
grip. He was just a little rabbit caught by a peregrine falcon with no power
to fight back at all, and could only hopelessly wait to be pecked at, to be
torn into a bloody skeletal corpse and dumped in a wasteland before being
eaten into a snow-white decaying specimen by ants.

“Stay away from me!” Yan Yi shouted with red-rimmed eyes as he kicked
Lu Shangjin’s lower leg.

Even if he was just a little rabbit, his kick was still lethal.

Lu Shangjin felt a sharp pain in his lower leg, as though a drop of water fell
into concentrated sulfuric acid, causing him to instantly explode. He lifted
Yan Yi off the ground, walked out of the house and tossed him out of the
front steps.

“Get lost,” He said.

Lu Shangjin sat in his car as he skillfully yet impatiently reversed and

steered the wheel, kicking up a cloud of smoke all the way. Leaving Yan Yi,
who was helplessly sitting on the gravel road, in the rearview mirror, he
gradually disappeared.

In his address book, there was a row of sweet, soft and obedient omegas
waiting for him to copulate with. He had been rewarding Yan Yi with too
much attention.

The forgotten phone in the quilt cabinet was still on. The alpha on the line
had been listening to the commotion, and the explosive argument gradually
faded away.

Blue veins burst into the alpha’s hand that was holding onto the phone, as
he listened to the argument that was clearly unequal in strength between the
people involved. That little rabbit was too vulnerable while being pregnant
with something unknown. This round of argument had become a one-sided
domestic violence.

He carefully distinguished the familiar alpha’s voice on the other line.

“Lu Shangjin?”
A lot of people knew that Lu Shangjin had a family with a gentle and
virtuous omega partner who lived in seclusion in their home,

Who would have thought that it would be this perfectly harmonious.

 Chap 11

2016-2-14 23：00 PM

——

In a campfire town of Keldivia, sparks flew from the burning pinewood,

floating up the dark night sky.

Yan Yi walked along the echoing deep and narrow alleyway, his
windbreaker swaying in the wind. He carried a 590M gun with an
overheated muzzle as he held onto the gunshot wound on his left lower
abdomen. He stepped over several hyena alpha corpses that were shot into
sieves, the soles of his black, shiny laced-up marine boots stained with
sticky blood. Stepping on the sticky ground, he trudged step by step.

He passed by a flower shop. The boss was an ordinary middle-aged beta

whose glands cells were dormant and undifferentiated. He held a child
tightly as he shrank into a corner of the wall. With shaking hands, he poured
out all the money from the cash register at Yan Yi’s feet, kneeling on the
ground as he begged, “Don’t… don’t shoot…t-take all the money…”

The florist covered the child’s eyes as he begged Yan Yi with his head
trembling. Under the windbreaker, the handsome youth was wearing a
pitch-black butler suit, his figure tall and slim, a gentle and beautiful
omega. In his soft ash-grey hair, two velvety rabbit ears moved lightly,
dusting away the snowflakes on the tip of his ears.

It was this omega who confronted ten jeeps of J1 differentiated hyena

alphas at the end of the lane just now. Facing off more than a dozen
powerful and swift alphas with only a painted 590M shotgun, he was the
only one who walked out alive.
Yan Yi bent down and picked out a rose from the flower barrel on the
counter. He carefully removed the white silk that stopped the rose from
blooming. His bloodstained hands looked drastically pale from the blood
loss and fatigue.

He put the rose in his front pocket.

Lu Shangjin had always liked such aggressively rich fragrant flowers. Yan
Yi touched the back of his neck, his glands tightly sealed beneath a black
neck protection guard to avoid injuring the omega’s most vulnerable point
during battle. It was also able to conceal his soft milk candy pheromones
from leaking out, so as to not agitate Lu Shangjin.

At the intersection, a street light wasn’t on, and a silver-grey Porsche was
parked under the shadow. Yan Yi leaned over and knocked on the window.

“Xiansheng, it’s done.”

Lu Shangjin opened his eyes and pushed open the door. He pushed Yan Yi
against the car and looked him up and down, like an elegant and
overbearing panther examining his prey.

With one hand holding the shotgun in his belt, he pulled out the rose from
his front pocket with his right hand. He handed it to Lu Shangjin and said
with a smile, “Xiansheng, you’re like a black panther under the moonlight, I
love you.”

In exchange, Lu Shangjin kissed him fiercely and tore off Yan Yi’s neck
protection guard impatiently. He pressed him against the car door, licking
the glands on the back of his neck as he listened to the soft and obedient
omega’s painful breaths in his arms.

Yan Yi said softly, “Xiansheng, the mission went very smoothly.”

He hoped these words would make Lu Shangjin more calm.

Lu Shangjin was indifferent, “That’s what you’re meant to do.”

Without caring about Yan Yi’s gunshot wound, Lu Shangjin held his side
tightly. Yan Yi clenched his teeth as he endured the severe pain given from
his lover. Every time they had sex, his alpha would make him experience
the anticipatory excruciating pain from inside.

The lop-eared rabbit was a very vulnerable race.

Yan Yi watched the cold and tall alpha from the rearview mirror.

How blissful and lucky it would be if his alpha could caress his back or
gently hold his head. Yan Yi bowed his body as he fantasized about the
alpha’s comfort.

In Lu Shangjin’s eyes, his omnipotent bodyguard Yan Yi was a romantic

and sentimental bitch.

In Yan Yi’s eyes, each confession was a bitter-and-agonizing last wish in his
heart when he had a slim chance of surviving. He passionately and silently
loved his alpha, and he wanted to chase him back and make up for his
mistakes.

Yan Yi held onto the car door helplessly, no longer struggling, and allowed
Lu Shangjin to do whatever he pleased with his body.

New skin was still growing out of the removal marks on the glands at the
back of his neck, the detailed pain a constant reminder to Yan Yi that they
had gotten divorced just a week ago.

Or, it wasn’t qualified as a divorce, they had just broken up.

Lu Shangjin had gotten rid of him from the villa he had lived in for so long.
Since then, work was work, but threads still remained from their broken
feelings.

He knew he was at fault.

A couple’s feelings were the most fragile during the seven-year itch1. Lu
Shangjin often didn’t return home, so Yan Yi had to stay in the lonely and
empty villa alone.
During his heat periods, Yan Yi couldn’t relieve himself at all, enduring
until he had splitting headaches. The remaining packages of used inhibitors
and painkillers were strewn all over the floor, but he was still in terrible
pain.

When he finally couldn’t bear the torture of his heat, he had put on his coat
and cotton hat, covering half his face with a big fluffy scarf and sneaked
into a club to book a massage from a spider alpha.

As soon as the spider alpha entered the room, he took off his clothes as part
of the routine.

Everyone knew what he was up to for an omega in heat to sneak into a club
in the middle of the night. The spider alpha didn’t spend much time talking.
This little omega looked beautiful and cute, it must be a hot and sleepless
night tonight.

Unexpectedly, when Yan Yi took off his coat, he wore a soft and lovely
home knitted sweater underneath. He lied on the massage bed obediently
and presented his back to the spider alpha. A little shy, he faced the floor as
he pleaded, “…you don’t have to take off my clothes, just touch- touch my
back.”

The spider alpha was taken aback. He smoothed back his stylish highlighted
hair.

He then caressed this omega’s back for the whole night.

The little lop-eared rabbit turned over comfortably, his eyes half-lidded with
sleepiness, then gradually closing them as his breath turned steady and
gentle. His curled eyelashes resembled an insect shaking its dewy wings
under the twilight, his little ears moving occasionally.

The spider alpha watched in a daze. He couldn’t help but bend down with
his hands resting on his knees and steal a whiff against the little lop-eared
rabbit’s forehead.

He was so cute.
He was so cute that it made others willing to caress his back all night
without taking off their clothes and asking for money.

He was a clean omega. Unfortunately, there was a mark on the glands at the
back of his neck. He was already married, so he couldn’t think about him
anymore.

When Yan Yi passed his heat period comfortably with the touch of the
spider alpha and went home, Lu Shangjin was waiting for him on the couch.
With a judging look in his eyes, he asked, “Where did you go last night?”

Yan Yi opened his mouth, afraid to tell the truth and make Lu Shangjin
angry, so he came up with a reason in an attempt to stall.

Instead, Lu Shangjin threw a photograph at Yan Yi’s feet.

In the photograph, the little lop-eared rabbit was nestled on the massage
bed, while an elegant masseuse alpha lowered his head to kiss his forehead
intimately.

This was a possessive alpha’s most naked provocative and disdainful action.

Due to the aristocratic status of the second-grade differentiated peregrine

falcon alpha, Lu Shangjin couldn’t stand the little rabbit’s blatant betrayal.

Yan Yi would also fight back when he was in his early twenties, so they
broke up at that time–

An incompatible pair of lovers from the battlefield who fought side by side
after weathering gunfire smoke, failed to withstand the many cracks of the
seven-year itch. From passionate love towards destruction.

——

Now, Yan Yi was carried and thrown out of the door again.

He still had a bank card in his wallet which he had saved when he worked
with Lu Shangjin. After their breakup, he became an ordinary employee
under Lu Shangjin with a fixed monthly salary. Unlike how he treated other
omegas like sugar babies, Lu Shangjin wouldn’t give Yan Yi a card that he
couldn’t even finish spending in his lifetime.

He had to find a warm place for the little baby in his belly to live in.

So, holding his little belly under the warm cashmere sweater, he left Lu
Zhai garden dazedly.

 Chap 12

He found a humble little inn and asked for the price; it was seventy yuan a
night.

It’s affordable.

Sometimes, Yan Yi felt that it was unfair as well. He was the one who
served Lu Shangjin too, why did all the other omegas receive luxury cars,
villas and an abundance of allowance, but he was the only one who didn’t
have anything.

Lu Shangjin allowed him to buy whatever he wanted, but wouldn’t give

him a little piece of property, even if these seemingly expensive things were
just an insignificant drop in the ocean to Lu Shangjin and never would he
attach importance to them.

This unknown street inn was not strictly supervised, Yan Yi only had to
give some money to book a room without needing to register with an ID
card. He could only choose such a place to live in. On the gender column of
his ID card, the words “Omega lop-eared rabbit, A3” was printed in an
elegant, eye-catching purple ink.

An ordinary person would admire and be envious towards the awakening of

gland cells, like a head teacher giving good students praises and privileges
all the time.

Their manners towards a J1 alpha would be respectful and courteous. With

a high evaluation, perhaps one’s innate differentiative grade was the height
at which ordinary people were unable to reach; the prospects were
boundless.
If one were to meet an M2 differentiated alpha, they must not offend them
easily. Whether it was second-grade differentiated omegas or alphas, it was
most likely that there was a large family behind them to provide them with
natural resources. This was because differentiating to the second-grade
required the catalyst and stimulation of sufficient enough rare pheromones,
not excluding those with unique advantages, so that the glands could evolve
naturally. Most J1 differentiated glands also needed hundreds and thousands
of rare pheromones to manually stimulate its evolution for it to become the
privileged 1% at the top of the pyramid.

On the other hand, once the A3 differentiated glands appeared, the first
thing people would think about was certainly not envy and admiration, but
to flock around in a circle and watch, like being frightened yet curious
about discovering a living dinosaur and taking photos to share on Weibo.
By the second day, the whole world would know that in some province and
city, a rare A3 glandular-type had appeared.

So far, only a few elite agents recorded in the confidential files were of the
A3 glandular-type.

The national policy on the glandular-type privacy protection had not been
improved, hence one’s glandular grade was directly printed on their ID
card.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, gland hunters rose to search for high-
grade omegas for large powerful families, kidnapping or transplanting them
in order to produce stronger generations for the family.

Few people who find high-grade omegas would opt for transplantation, as
the matching degree was a problem. It was also a concern whether the
omega who accepted the transplantation would be able to withstand such
strong glands. In order to avoid accidents, the family would choose a safer
method; imprisonment in a fertility machine.

The weather was unusual this year. Spring was still cold in April, and there
was no floor heating in the small inn. Yan Yi piled the soft blankets and
pillows into a little nest before dragging the electric heater over to warm his
back toastly.
He didn’t forget to take his phone from the quilt cabinet before he left. In
case Lu Shangjin asked him to go home, he would still be able to pick up
his call.

He flipped through his phone aimlessly, switching back and forth between
various apps. Obviously, he had nothing to scroll through. Although he was
sleepy, he couldn’t put it down, subconsciously waiting for a reason to sleep
peacefully.

He scrolled through his text messages; the contact name he gave Lu

Shangjin was “Jin ge.”

In the past, his name was “my beloved”, and he couldn’t remember when he
changed it out of anger.

He scrolled through all the way to the front. He didn’t delete any messages
Lu Shangjin sent, scrolling from the cold and distant messages of “come to
my office”, “will be home late tonight”, “won’t be home tonight”, until he
reached one message; “goodnight, baobei”.

His heart trembled, the willow of early spring scratching his skin.

Setting this message as the boundary, every time he scrolled up to it, the
corner of Yan Yi’s lips would slightly curl up into a smile.

——2011-1-23——

Jin ge: I’m very busy at the office today, I don’t understand a lot of things.
Wait for me, I’ll make sure to be back before 10pm, sleep first if you’re
tired, I’ll hold you when I’m home.

Yan Yi: I want to wait for you… want you to kiss my ears.

Jin ge: Alright, I’ll kiss your ears, kiss your little feet.

Yan Yi: gege hug me QAQ

——2011-2-16——
Jin ge: Yan Yan, I miss you, let’s have a feast tonight.

Yan Yi: What do you want to eat? I’ll prepare in advance.

Jin ge: You don’t have to do it, I’ll take you out for dinner, do you have
anything in particular you want to eat? I’ll pick up anything you like.

Yan Yi: I like to eat the food you pick…

Jin ge: It’s the lantern festival tomorrow, I’ll just buy some Yuan Xiao to
feed you, I’ll buy Yuan Xiao as big as beans and feed you one by one.

Yan Yi: No, I want you to feed me with your mouth, each person eats half.

Jin ge: I’m hard already, I’ll fuck you when I get back.

Yan Yi: A fragrant little rabbit is waiting for you in the blankets ??ω??

——2012-9-25——

Jin ge: Kill him sooner or later

He didn’t reply to this text. At the time, Yan Yi saw the news and hurried to
find Lu Shangjin who had injured himself, he was leaning against the wall
weakly, his right shoulder and chest were bandaged. Yan Yi asked, but he
didn’t say anything.

——2012-9-30——

Jin ge: Goodnight, baobei

——

In 2016, they broke up.

——

Yan Yi scrolled through the messages he had saved, covering his mouth as
tears trickled down his fingers and onto the pillow. He had changed his
phone several times these past few years, but he would always save these
precious messages and import them one by one.

How did it become like this? He thought it was clear they could spend a
lifetime together, how could the waves be so peacefully overturned?

He could endure Lu Shangjin’s arrogance and cold emotional abuse over

and over again. However, he missed the intimacy and sweetness they once
had. He didn’t want this Lu Shangjin. He had changed. He was different
from the overbearing yet gentle Jin ge in the past.

In a daze, he dialed the number he had memorized.

The other person answered faster than expected.

“Yan Yi.” Lu Shangjin’s cold and detached tone contained anger, “Come
back before I use my differentiative ability to find you. Otherwise, don’t
ever come back.”

With the peregrine falcon’s M2 differentiative ability “location tracking”,

he could catch this little rabbit even if he fled to the corners of the earth.

Yan Yi held his phone in a cherishing manner as he curled up while hugging

his knees, drops of tears hanging on his trembling eyelashes, voice choking
as his tone changed with despair.

“Jin ge…why…why do you not love me anymore?” He hadn’t cried for

many years, but as he showed weakness right now, he couldn’t bear it
anymore.

“I’ve always been good. If it’s because I went to the club, I apologize. I was
wrong, I was wrong, please don’t stop loving me… are you still mad after
so long? … I was wrong, okay? How can I make you forgive me? Please,
I’m begging you to tell me…” Half of his voice was muffled with sobs as
he sat in his little nest hugging his knees in his arms, as though he had gone
back to being a child in kindergarten who couldn’t solve 2 plus 5, wailing
from being anxious and afraid.
The other party remained silent for a while. Just as he was about to speak,
the assistant’s reminder sounded beside him, “Xiansheng, it’s a call from
president Xia.”

The line disconnected.

The light in Yan Yi’s eyes disappeared along with the busy tone on the
phone.

——

Lu Shangjin impatiently answered the phone from his assistant, forcing

himself to use a calm tone as much as possible, “President Xia.”

“Haven’t you shown interest in a hamster omega recently?” President Xia

asked.

“Yes.” Lu Shangjin replied coldly, “I like him a lot, but he’s been ill and has
been taken care of.”

After all, in order to undergo a gland transplant, that hamster had to be

imprisoned in the intensive care unit, ready to have his glands extracted for
the operation at any time.

President Xia snorted with a laugh, “Someone accidentally showed Bi

Ruijing a picture of your little hamster the other day. Rui ge likes him very
much. You wouldn’t fight with him, would you? Everyone knows that
arrow-wood alpha is too difficult to deal with. Besides, don’t you already
have a wife?”

Lu Shangjin took a breath, “I think you were the one who showed Bi
Ruijing that picture.”

The other party tutted, “How could that be?”

——

Yan Yi lied quietly in his nest of blankets and pillows. He didn’t dare to
turn off the lights, but he was also afraid of the brightness, so he covered his
eyes with his rabbit ears.

He wasn’t sure how he could be pregnant with a little bunny either. When
he was with Lu Shangjin in the past, they would always use condoms. The
rate of conception between two different species was very low, and he had
never been pregnant before.

Lu Shangjin never mentioned having children with him, perhaps he didn’t

like them.

He tried hard to give birth for a while, but didn’t feel much. Maybe it
wasn’t the right time yet, he should be pregnant for a longer period of time
before he could give birth to a little bunny.

A call came in.

Startled, he held his frantically beating heart for a long moment before he
answered. He admitted that he had a glimmer of hope to listen to what the
other person would say, feeling a little moved.

Lu Shangjin’s completely calm voice made Yan Yi’s heart turn cooler.

“I’ll ask you one last time, are you still having the operation?”

Yan Yi tugged the zipper on the pillow, “I really can’t have it right now…
next year… next year, I’ll definitely have it.”

Lu Shangjn scoffed softly, “Why.”

Yan Yi hesitated to answer. He was afraid that Lu Shangjin wouldn’t want a

child. If he gave birth to an alpha, the child might be taken away by the Lu
family as their heir. If not, he had lost the A3 differentiative abilities, how
could he protect the child from harm?

In Yan Yi’s heart, Lu Shangjin’s credibility had already been reduced to

below the passing line. He gradually began to doubt whether or not he
could have Lu Shangjin’s protection after replacing his glands.

Lu Shangjin gritted his teeth, “Suit yourself, do whatever you want.”

The author has something to say:

I originally intended to set their time a few years ahead of ours, then I got a
suggestion that everyone might get confused with the timeline, so I revised
the time. Moving forward, I have synchronized the text with our current
time, it’s more convenient this way.
 Chap 13

Near ten o’clock in the evening, looking out through the French windows,
crowds of densely packed dark clouds flocked over from the Northwest,
swallowing half the sky so tightly that not a ray of light could be spilled
out.

Takeout boxes littered the table. Perhaps the delivery address was
somewhat awe-inspiring, that even the heart stickers seeking positive
feedback were well-pasted in a cautious manner.

In this villa, besides the gardener and the driver who would come to pick up
Lu Shangjin, there were neither cleaning aunties, chefs, nor servants who
could take care of Lu Shangjin’s daily life. That had always been Yan Yi’s
job. After they broke up, Yan Yi had appeared in front of him again with a
resume in his hand, his eyes shining brightly as he asked to be employed as
the butler of the villa.

That little rabbit had always known how to act coquettishly; puckering his
butt and nestling on the sofa. He would continue to lie on the side in
disappointment when he didn’t receive Lu Shangjin’s touch, looking at him
with clear eyes, until Lu Shangjin put his hand on his head to pat him and
knead the ears hanging cutely in his hair.

After breaking up, he stuck to him again, but he became proper and
restrained.

In fact, if Lu Shangjin paid more attention, he could still see the glimmering
light in Yan Yi’s eyes, like a star that received a wish from a believer,
shining brightly and enthusiastically.
Lu Shangjin waited for the response from the other end of the conversation.
He leaned against the sofa with his legs crossed and his leather shoes
occasionally tapping the ground impatiently.

Running away from home, this little rabbit really had the ability to go
against him.

There was a long silence on the phone. Lu Shangjin wasn’t busy right now,
so he could afford Yan Yi with some patience.

Thirty boxes of Timothy hay were stacked on the floor next to the sofa. He
couldn’t name the type of hay before, but his assistant said it was rabbit
snacks bought from the pet store.

He wanted Yan Yi to come home quickly, wanted to see him holding his gift
in surprise and thank him. Lu Shangjin would feel very pleased at that
expression.

It was unclear whether any lingering feelings had been completely wiped
out after breaking up. But whenever he saw Yan Yi, he would think about
the flesh and blood of the A3 glands, and be incapable of restraining the
rejection in his heart as he cruelly wanted to get rid of him from his world.

And when he was gone, he couldn’t contain his thoughts.

He admitted that when he heard Yan Yi almost breaking down crying while
begging, ‘Why do you not love me anymore’, his heart had truly hurt. The
little rabbit never begged anyone, but had lowered his head to him more
than once. Before, he absolutely couldn’t bear to hear his humble and
fragile voice.

If he was still that eighteen year old boy, he would hold him in his arms
without hesitation and kiss him, using sufficient soothing pheromones to
protect Yan Yi and let him sleep in his arms the whole night until his back
turned sore from not moving for a long time. Even then, he wouldn’t dare to
let go in fear of waking the little rabbit sleeping peacefully in his arms.
What feelings could withstand the test of more than ten years? He was tired
and annoyed at one terrible thing after another.

There were plenty of rabbits and many substitutes, he didn’t need to suffer
so much for love.

Hence, he would be attracted to more sweet omegas, sexually indulge with

his friends, and shelve away the treasure that he held in the palm of his
hand from his past, isolating him from his own word. Even if Yan Yi
wanted to integrate into Lu Shangjin’s social circle, it would be futile.

Lu Shangjin knew that the reason things had come to such an

unmanageable mess today was because of Lu Lin, not Yan Yi. Lu Lin was
downright an abnormal homicidal maniac. With a family of peregrine
falcons who could suck blood for him at any time, it was his means of
terrorism that thoroughly destroyed Lu Shangjin’s feelings for Yan Yi,
which was already on unbroken thin ice. He was furious and betrayed about
Yan Yi going to a club and being intimate with another alpha, but only he
knew that it was just an excuse to break up.

Their feelings had faded, but it had just simply faded. Yan Yi remained as
the untouchable treasure in his heart- It was Lu Lin who fired a shot at the
center of the thin platform that had already been tossed about by the wind
and rain, blowing off the lingering love that could barely continue with his
own hands.

Since then, Lu Shangjin subconsciously regarded his rejection towards Yan

Yi as a blackmail chip against Lu Lin. The innocent lop-eared rabbit
unknowingly became the funerary object of the dysfunctional father-son
relationship, wearing away Yan Yi’s devotion that never seemed to burn
out.

Really, it couldn’t burn out. Look at that hopping little rabbit. Even if you
lift up his ears and toss them around, he would still lie back in his original
position, then quietly and obediently hide in a corner and look at you.

Lu Shangjin sighed and crushed the last cigarette butt.

“Come back and have the operation, be good.”

The voice on the phone was a little weak, “Jin ge, do you like hamsters that
much? If I pinch my ears, they’ll look like a hamster’s too.”

The ashtray was suddenly knocked to the ground by Lu Shangjin, the

falling cigarette ashes staining the corner of his pants. With an explosive
burst, Lu Shangjin’s patience was completely exhausted. He said furiously
to the receiver, “How much interest do you think I have in a rodent?! Fine,
Yan Yi, don’t come back. I’ll see how long you can last outside.”

After hanging up, he threw his phone firmly and smashed against the neatly
stacked boxes of rabbit snacks into a mess, haphazardly scattering scraps of
hay onto the floor. He was so used to being sought after, so he lost patience
from enduring such disobedience.

He just didn’t know that rabbits were very timid. Under the placid
expression, he might have already been overwhelmed with fear, quietly
hiding in a corner with nowhere to escape.

——

Yan Yi leaned against the blanket and looked at the black screen in a daze.

He was waiting for Lu Shangjin to just tell him to go home, not to go home
for the operation.

He was looking forward to changing his glands with a higher fit for Lu
Shangjin, but why did the other party take his sacrifice for granted and
regarded it as something justifiable? The third-grade differentiated glands
were not biologically obtained. He had paid a painful and bloody price for
it, he even felt pity towards himself.

An omega who stood on top of the pyramid was reduced to become such a
sorry mess, why couldn’t Lu Shangjin just ask him more about his health?

Lacking spirit in his eyes, he stared at his pale and slender hand dazedly.
When Lu Lin had pressed this hand into the high-speed juicer, he had been
very clear-headed.

The rapidly spinning razor blades were so sharp that he only felt pain a few
seconds later.

What kind of pain was that?

It was so painful that he didn’t dare to remember it. He saw himself in the
lens of Lu Lin’s Phnom Penh glasses, his expression so distorted that he
couldn’t even recognize himself.

Lu Lin hoped that his third-grade differentiative ability was ‘limb

regeneration’, and had injected a great amount of lizard alpha pheromones,
but the desperate differentiation primer only made him differentiate into
‘transience’.

He was one of the many soldiers trained as the Lu family’s cutting-edge

weaponry, and he had become the one and only elite.

When he was subjected to the most harsh and painful differentiation

guidance, Lu Shangjin was probably attending school. He had heard Lu
Shangjin play the piano in the piano room, and still remembered the
melody, Croatian Rhapsody. The warm and romantic tune was like a life-
saving rope that dragged him out of a muddy swamp, making his pulse and
heart beat for that boy from then on.

He just didn’t want to admit that Lu Shangjin and Lu Lin weren’t good
company.

In the past, his wish was to quietly sit on the wooden bench and listen to Lu
Shangjin play a song for him. He had made the same wish on his birthday
every year.

But wishes wouldn’t come true once they’re said aloud. He didn’t want to
say it before, and indulgently wanted Lu Shangjin to guess what was on his
mind. Now, he didn’t dare to say it, afraid it will really not come true.
He was also very tired. He took out his notebook and deducted Lu
Shangjin’s points by one. If it was reduced to zero, Yan Yi really didn’t
want to love him anymore.

He was always used to giving himself a chance. As he was watching a

video, he impatiently waited for it to load. He told himself he wouldn’t wait
anymore after counting to five. After counting, it still didn’t load. His heart
said: count another five then.

He was very, very tired. For a long time, he hadn’t been as youthful and
passionate as he had been back in those days.

“I’m already an old rabbit.” He dully thought.

He should wake up quickly from these middle-aged vigorous nostalgic

fantasies.

The screen suddenly lit up; it was that number again. Yan Yi picked up the
call with drooping eyes.

“Are you still unwell?” The alpha knew he was pregnant, but as always
paid attention to him, “Where are you? Give me the address, I’ll go to you.”

The abandoned old rabbit didn’t deserve such a persistent pursuer. Yan Yi
didn’t feel the overwhelming flattery, and only didn’t want to deal with it as
he grew more exhausted.

“Your voice sounds hoarse, did you catch a cold or did you cry recently?”
The alpha asked carefully.

The young alpha’s voice carried a trace of arrogant tenderness, with a tone
that was afraid of offending while expressing a kind of disharmonious
loveliness; the voice of a young master risking his pride.

Yan Yi didn’t bring any pyjamas. After taking off his pants and coat, he was
left only in a thin cream-coloured sweater that softly covered his thighs and
hid his palms, only exposing his fingers. With his legs crossed, he leaned
against the headboard and held a soft pillow in his arms to protect the baby
in his belly.

He sighed and had to summon a little energy to face this telephone affair.
He asked directly, “How old are you?”

The alpha was clearly caught off guard and hesitated to answer.

“T-twenty four.”

Yan Yi asked again, “What’s your name?”

Being thoroughly interrogated by the omega whom he was having an

unrequited love with, he had also unexpectedly gotten a little taste of
sweetness and peace of mind, so he replied excitedly, “Xia Jingtian”,
completely losing the low tone of feigning to be steady and mature, but
remained gentle.

Yan Yi smiled, “Little kid.”

However, he was too tired to even lift the corners of his mouth. The scar in
his heart had just been lifted, still painfully dripping with blood.
 Chap 14

When one’s thoughts are in turmoil, it would make them agitated when they
try to talk cheerfully and joyously with someone else. It’s not because
chatting would make him divert his attention away from his problems and
erase the slight pain in his heart, but it was because the other party he was
talking to wasn’t important enough.

“Xia Jingtian.” Yan Yi absent-mindedly murmured and repeated his name.

Jiu’An Hong Ye’s boss was surnamed Xia. A couple days ago, he had
looked up a number for Lu Shangjin, but it wasn’t this one. Perhaps it was a
duplicated name, or it could be that this young master did it deliberately.

But he habitually didn’t search the identity of this person, because Lu

Shangjin didn’t like him integrating into these aristocrat alphas’ circles. At
first, Lu Shangjin had cared for him, afraid he would be targeted by gland
hunters from other families, so he was protected deep into the courtyard like
a fragile porcelain China doll.

The little rabbit liked this very much. In the bottom of an omega’s heart,
they liked to be spoiled and belong to their beloved alpha, so he obediently
waited at home for him. He would study different varieties of recipes
everyday. The pair of hands that were used to holding guns started fiddling
with cream and piping bags, and the provocatively hot scent of ammunition
became soaked with soft and fragrant sweetness.

Lu Shangjin came home later day by day, his body tainted with the different
scents of other omegas.

After his little rabbit placed down the butcher knife and put on an apron, Lu
Shangjin seemed to favour omegas of noble blood, who spoke and behaved
with propriety and were able to ascend the hall of elegance. But fortunately,
there were no unusual actions; Yan Yi understood him. Besides being a
killing machine himself, what other charm did he have?

Before acting coquettish, he had to consider it clearly and observe Lu

Shangjin’s mood on the day to guess if he would be able to get a response.
If he didn’t get any, he would just quietly watch Lu Shangjin work and go
to sleep.

The young master on the other end of the line was suddenly in a hurry, his
voice turning high and low, “Ai, fuck, it’s raining and I didn’t drive, I just
landed this afternoon.”

Yan Yi’s room was on the second floor; there were indeed little cold drops
of rain hanging on the window. The sound of footsteps on the ground came
from the end of the narrow road below, and there was an alpha in his
twenties on the phone, looking for shelter from the rain.

It’s him.

Yan Yi’s memory was very good, and he could clearly remember anyone
he’d met. At the gas station, he had pressed a Desert Eagle against that lion
alpha’s forehead.

The alpha had unexpectedly found him and came to his door.

The initial thought that appeared in Yan Yi’s mind was that this alpha didn’t
just happen to pass by. He definitely must have investigated his
whereabouts and identity, and now rushing by the window where he was
staying was certainly intentional, as he couldn’t determine where he lived.

However, Yan Yi still put on his pants and slippers before taking his keys
and headed downstairs.

Because the kid who was using a few ‘Do You Know About Swimming and
Fitness’ leaflets to cover from the rain was really in a mess, pestering
endlessly on the phone.

——
XIa Jingtian held up the leaflets to cover from the rain, looking around to
see if any shops were open so he could go in to avoid it. He grumbled about
the annoying little rabbit in his heart. How good would it be to have a
comfortable bath and play games at home? It was just that on the phone, he
had heard Lu Shangjin cruelly tossing the little rabbit out the door, so he
booked a flight ticket to see him that night.

He wanted to see Yan Yi so he could give him an unavoidable hug. Before,

the lights in the hospital ward were dim and he hadn’t had time to take a
good look at his appearance.

He walked quickly. About ten metres in front of him, an omega with a thin
figure and a fine beige woollen sweater came out. Two listless rabbit ears
hung from his light-grey hair. He slowly tilted his head to look at the sky,
and was startled by the cold rain dripping on his cheeks. The little rabbit
ears shook a little to brush off the raindrops.

Feeling stunned, his footsteps gradually slowed down and stopped under the
streetlamp two metres away from Yan Yi.

When Yan Yi heard the sound, he turned his head to look at him.

The endearingly silly little rabbit ears moved absently.

The little rabbit was so thin that his chin had become sharp. Wrapped under
the fine and soft beige woollen sweater, his bony figure appeared thinner,
haggard and weak from the torture during those days spent in the hospital.
A weak omega who was pregnant was actually thrown out of the door by
his inhuman alpha.

Under the streetlamp, Yan Yi’s face was pale. In his eyes, there was only the
flickering light and shadow reflected by the streetlamp, no longer the
arrogant little rabbit who rode the Valkyrie bike and had naturally and
elegantly taken off his helmet. There was a sense of desolation and
homelessness deep in his eyes.

After coming back to his senses, Xia Jingtian hurried over. He took off his
coat and put it over Yan Yi, stretching out the collar to wrap him up tightly,
then hugging the little rabbit, who was as weak as a dried reed, into his
arms. At once, he released a large amount of soothing pheromones and
caressed his hair in sympathy.

He was inexplicably attracted to Yan Yi, knowing that this was because of
their high pheromone compatibility. But seeing such a domineering omega
become withered in appearance after spending a few days in the hospital, as
an alpha, it was hard not to feel heartache.

The alpha was wearing a loose white t-shirt that tightly covered the lion
tattoo on his chest. He was like a handsome teenager who was spinning a
basketball on his finger in a school field, surrounded by omegas cheering
for the school grass1, absorbed in his charm whenever he dunked the ball
into the basket.

Yan Yi widened his eyes in surprise, blankly letting himself be held.

Lu Shangjin seldom held him in such an enthusiastic and sincere way. What
he did most of the time was to hook his fingers and let the hopping little
rabbit come over and hug him himself. Sometimes he responded,
sometimes he wouldn’t, but when the little rabbit hugged him, the
enthusiasm in his eyes never diminished.

Without the black neck-protection guard, a large amount of soothing

pheromones rushed into the glands. Due to their sufficient compatibility fit,
the soothing pheromones were especially effective, even causing the
discomfort from his pregnancy to gradually subside. Feeling comfortable,
he took a breath, his heart in greater grief.

After breaking up with Lu Shangjin, he could only rely on inhibitors and

painkillers during his heats. When he couldn’t bear it, he would secretly go
to Lu Shangjin’s room in the middle of the night to stay for a while and curl
up on the floor beside his bed, not even daring to breathe unbridledly.

Nothing can compare to the sense of security from being wrapped up in the
pheromones from one’s own alpha. Lu Shangjin’s scent had surrounded
him, safe and warm, as though he was being gently caressed to sleep.
Yan Yi’s nose turned sour; he had been very cautious not to demand
anything from Lu Shangjin. The young lion alpha completely released
everything for him.

“That’s enough, let’s go up.” Yan Yi was aloof and indifferent, maintaining
a calm composure as he broke free from Xia Jingtian’s arms. He removed
the coat and returned it to him.

When he took it off, his hand bumped into something dripping wet in the
pocket. Yan Yi looked down; it was a small bundle of roses.

From primary school until now, Xia Jingtian completely forgot all the
flirting techniques that he had cultivated from making full use of his
appearance to pursue others. He pushed Yan Yi up the stairs to avoid
freezing and awkwardly explained, “It was already getting late when I
landed, so there were only three roses left in the florist, I wanted to bring
them to you.”

He was going to buy all the roses in the florist and give them to the heart-
broken little rabbit, but there were only three. It was better than nothing.

Yan Yi looked at the bundle of roses drenched in water, the corners of his
mouth pulled slightly. He remembered bringing home roses to Lu Shangjin
everyday, and thought if he was also this reckless and laughable.

As he went up the stairs, he picked out a rose from the bundle, sniffing it,
and put it in his mouth.

Bite, and chew.

Xia Jingtian’s mouth opened slightly, watching him like he was looking at a
rabbit.

He followed Yan Yi into this small accommodation that only had one bed
and a washroom. He didn’t dislike it, but felt very wronged for the little
rabbit.
“Thank you, I really like eating it.” Yan Yi stuck the leftover bare flower
stalk into the only simple glass bottle on the windowsill. He took a breath,
then went to get the electric kettle to boil some water.

“Haven’t you eaten? There’s only instant noodles here, I’ll make one for
you.” Yan Yi took the instant noodles from the folding table and opened a
packet.

As his glands were dormant, his auxiliary actions had become very
minimal. His pale and slender fingers felt strained from opening the plastic
packaging of the instant noodles. It took him a long time to tear open a
seam.

“I’ll do it, I’ll do it.” Xia Jingtian crossed over to tear open the instant
noodles packaging, then grabbed the electric kettle and hurried to get water.
He mumbled in disgust, “Can this be clean…”

Then came the sound of rushing water.

The young master’s ten fingers never touched the spring water as he worked
seemingly neatly. He returned with the full electric kettle, plugged it into
the power socket and carefully studied how to operate it.

Xia Jingtian finally found the switch and pressed it, looking at Yan Yi and
felt a little vexed. After watching for a while, he chuckled foolishly, then
feeling annoyed that he was stupid after laughing.

The cold rushing wind made Yan Yi’s body turn chilly. He covered his
mouth and coughed twice.

As soon as Xia Jingtian heard Yan Yi cough, he immediately released a

large amount of soothing pheromones, squeezing over and wrapping Yan Yi
into a steamed bun with the cotton quilt.

Yan Yi frowned, his light and beautiful eyebrows becoming less good-
looking from being twisted, appearing a little fierce.
Xia Jingtian looked at him innocently, feeling his heart turn cold as he
wondered if he had just offended Yan Yi. He wasn’t like a lion, but instead
a coquettish big cat, relying on Yan Yi and not going away.

Yan Yi flatly averted his gaze and looked at the flower stalk inserted in the
glass bottle on the windowsill.

“Don’t waste your pheromones on me.”

“I’m something that someone else didn’t want. I’m very dirty.”

When he said this, the depths of his eyes were dim, without the ripples of
waves.

Who let an omega, who didn’t let any other alphas come near him during
his heat, wear out his prideful self-esteem and self-confidence? It made
others want to scold him awake from his self belittlement, yet wanting to
hold him tightly with heartache.

Warning // physical violence

2019-4-18 09:00 AM

——

In the high seas of Nakhi, a luxury cruise ship remained stationary for two
days.

A black dot appeared in the distant sky; a helicopter painted with the
peregrine falcon family’s emblem gradually approached, its huge propellers
roaring as it descended onto the deck. A gush of air current rushed forward,
causing the aristocrats who gathered on the deck to hold onto the brim of
their hats.

A servant approached the ladder padded with tiger skin. Lu Shangjin slowly
stepped down from the helicopter. Under the ink-black fox coat on his
shoulders, he wore a tailored black suit. He took off his protective
sunglasses and casually tossed it to the person who followed beside him.

A pair of cold eyes that seemed to always hold detest and disregard for
anything revealed, deep and bottomless.

A row of bodyguards in black stood at the bottom. They nodded orderly and
addressed, “Master Lu.”

Lu Shangjin looked straight ahead and walked towards the middle-aged

alpha who was drinking tea under an umbrella on the deck. He bowed
slightly to the elder and greeted, “Uncle.”
The alpha, who was in his fifties, was leisurely listening to the melodious
opera on the radio, holding a pen in his right hand as he sketched out
annotations on an English book. He greeted Lu Shangjin warmly, “Xiao Jin,
I thought you weren’t coming, haha.”

His hand did not stop as he exchanged greetings, even drawing a few
strokes on the page and wrote a neat string of English words. He stuck a
bookmark between and closed the book before putting it aside, then said
with a warm smile, “Have a seat.”

He was a first-grade differentiated spider alpha, with the J1 differentiative

ability “Distraction control”.

Yuan Mi hurriedly caught the protective goggles that Lu Shangjin threw

over. He had followed Lu Shangjin for three years, and would usually come
and go as called. In bed, he had practiced his Kung Fu pretty well to serve
Lu Shangjin with both his top and bottom mouths; having a high degree of
compatibility and even being able to make Lu Shangjin feel good, he could
stay by his side for such a long time.

As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he was called by Lu

Shangjin to come out.

Several old friends of Lu Shangjin’s whom he was familiar with for many
years knew that he had a genuine omega wife who was always in the palm
of his hand. Hence, Yuan Mi was very suspicious when Lu Shangjin came
to look for him.

Whether Lu Shangjin held him in his palm or in his mouth, it had been a
long time. After all, marriage could not compare to wild bees and
butterflies.

Yuan Mi had already thickened his skin and prepared to take on the position
of a mistress and have a brutal and bloody quarrel with Lu Shangjin’s wife,
but who would’ve thought that his wife didn’t argue with him, and instead
allowed him to calmly be Lu Shangjin’s lover for three years.
It wasn’t until Lu Shangjin dragged him out of the hospital bed in fury and
stepped on his stomach that he really understood; even if Lu Shangjin’s
former wife Yan Yi, that hateful rabbit, had entered the cold palace, his
position had still not wavered.

It was Yuan Mi’s first time seeing such an imposing disposition out of a
film set—

The muzzles of the bodyguards’ guns occasionally flashed, shining with

cold light under the cuffs of their lapels. At a glance, the heavy and icy
quality could not be compared to the artificial props he held before.

A sense of panic submerged him from the bottom of his feet to the top of
his head. In the past, Yan Yi had always been the one who accompanied Lu
Shangjin by his side, so he must have already been used to these kinds of
scenes.

Yuan Mi schooled his features, feigning calmness as he followed Lu

Shangjin down the helicopter, his trembling fingertips holding onto the
crook of Lu Shangjin’s arm.

Even if Yuan Mi didn’t say a word, Lu Shangjin could feel that he was
afraid. They were just coming to meet someone, what’s there to be afraid
of? He thought that an omega who was used to seeing flashing lights and
walking red carpets would be enough to steer the current state of the
situation.

Lu Shangjin frowned. When Yan Yi had stood beside him in a narrow-

waisted black tuxedo, there was always an invisible cold aura emanating
from the little omega. It would just have been the night before that Yan Yi
covered his eyes with his rabbit ears and called out in a fragmented voice,
“just like that”, “Jin ge be gentler…”, but then he could put on a front like
he turned into a different person.

Smiling from ear to ear, Lu Jue came up and hugged Lu Shangjin, patting
his back, “Passing one birthday means a year less, you might not be able to
see me again next time.”
Lu Shangjin relaxed his slightly knitted brows. He hugged the spider alpha
and said with a light smile, “How could that be? Uncle is in good health and
may have boundless longevity.”

He pursed his lips and whistled. A grey-backed peregrine falcon spread its
wings from the beast’s cage in the helicopter. Letting out a vicious call, the
massive peregrine falcon landed on Lu Shangjin’s half-raised forearm.

“My dad trained it for several years and asked me to gift it to uncle for his
birthday,” Lu Shangjin hooked his index finger and touched the raptor’s
beak, unexpectedly receiving the ferocious peregrine falcon’s dependent
response.

Lu Jue laughed aloud, wanting to touch the peregrine falcon’s feathers, but
was glanced at by the sharp bird eyes. The peregrine falcon stirred its wings
and opened its knife-sharp beak, attempting to peck and bite Lu Jue’s
finger. Lu Shangjin lifted his hand and held its head, gently stroking it, his
tone deep, “Quiet.”

Yuan Mi silently stood half a step away, afraid that this large bird would
peck his eyes out.

Lu Jue noticed that the person who accompanied Lu Shangjin’s side had
changed. He looked up and down as he measured up this delicate omega,
who was beautiful and glittering from head to toe like a star. He smiled
meaningfully at Lu Shangjin, “This one is rather beautiful, but is lacking a
bit of flavour.”

Yuan Mi didn’t dare to respond, so he could only wait for Lu Shangjin to

save him.

Who would’ve thought that Lu Shangjin did not think it was worth saving
him at all. He took a sip from the champagne brought over by the waiter,
evidently unwilling to talk about this.

However, Lu Jue made efforts to lead the conversation to this point, he

didn’t want to end this topic so soon, so he took another tentative step with
his words, “Why haven’t you brought that little rabbit you’ve doted on for
many years?”

At the right moment, the peregrine falcon let out a long whistling call. Soon
after, Lu Shangjin lifted the corner of his lips slightly, “Yan Yi isn’t feeling
well, he’s resting at home.”

Yuan Mi felt the sudden rise in tension from Lu Shangjin and he couldn’t
help but shrink back beside him. After following Lu Shangjin for three
years, he knew that the name “Yan Yi” was forbidden. Whenever Lu
Shangjin heard anyone mention this name, his eyes would hold complex
emotions, yet it’s not hatred.

“Alright,” Lu Jue nodded. He led Lu Shangjin down a flight of stairs, still

exchanging warm pleasantries as he recollected Lu Shangjin’s deceased
biological father with him.

“I sent someone to burn some paper money for your biological father a few
days ago. If he were still around, he’d be so glad to know about your
promising future.”

Mentioning his biological father, Lu Shangjin’s hand silently clenched into

a fist, gripping until his knuckles turned white. His biological father was a
chameleon omega who had already passed away when Lu Shangjin was ten
years old.

Lu Shangjin only came here today for just one thing.

——

A magnificent dome-shaped casino was hidden on the cruise ship. In the

glorious and resplendent hall, elegant gentlemen and ladies piled up
banknotes on the gambling table. The smell of cigars diffused in the air
from the calm burning candle. Occasionally, the pungent smell of marijuana
would slip into one’s nasal cavity. When they saw Lu Jue enter, they nodded
in greeting one after another.
Lu Jue sat opposite the gambling table, his ten fingers crossed to support his
cheek. Separated by the dealing hand of the server wearing a dark red
bowtie, his eyes squinted with a smile at Lu Shangjin.

“Eh, I’ll deal twenty thousand first.” Lu Jue took out two stacks from the
suitcase sent by the bodyguard and tossed them on the gambling table.

“Jin ge.” Yuan Mi sat on Lu Shangjin’s lap and lit a cigarette for him.

With drooping eyebrows and a cigarette in his mouth, Lu Shangjin appeared

cold and sexually appealing. With the distinctively well-defined jointed
fingers holding the cigarette, he loosened his tie. He then opened a poker
card to look at it and raised his chin slightly, “Same.”

Yuan Mi hastily opened the money case, took out two stacks and threw
them onto the table.

Lu Shangjin faintly spat out a white mist. He held Yuan Mi’s waist with one
hand while putting the other on the table to dust off the ashes, “Uncle, I’m
here for someone. I’ll just play two games.”

Lu Jue continued to carry an extremely proud smile on his face, “Since

you’ve come, play a while more with uncle, no need to rush.”

Actually, the aristocrats present all knew that the Lu family had been
splitting apart in recent years. At first, Lu Jue, whose glandular
characteristics awakened as a spider, left the peregrine falcon family to
develop separately, this was followed by Lu Shangjin’s deranged elevated
encroachment on his father’s power. The shuffling disruptions indicated the
thriving wild ambitions of the Lu family.

Lu Shangjin was no longer the beautiful young master who was protected
by layers upon layers in the glass cabinet back then. His pair of hands
dripped with fresh blood, and his heart had long been hardened to the point
of not knowing how to move.

Even the omega whom he once favoured the most by his side had changed
to a different person. His petrified heart’s intentions had forgotten how to
love others ardently with surging passion.

Lu Shangjin found one of his father’s previous beta confidants who had fled
abroad. Because he knew too much inside information, he had been sent
abroad to retire, and could only rely on Lu Jue to bring him back.
Otherwise, Lu Shangjin didn’t want to come here at all.

After several rounds, the notes on the table piled up to five million yuan,
plus a few cheques in the ten millions.

Lu Shangjin’s gambling skills were exceptionally good, even having the J1

differentiative ability “extreme vision”. He just didn’t want to use it.

Lu Jue didn’t care about winning or losing. He smiled and mentioned to Lu

Shangjin, “There was news on the dark web a few days ago that Yan Yi’s
glands have gone up to 2.5 billion US dollars. I’ve already caught the
person you want. If you hand Yan Yi to me, that person is yours.”

As long as he gets this beta, Lu Shangjin has various ways to pry out
information from his mouth, thorough enough to bring Lu Lin down
completely and can no longer have the power to control life and death over
the Lu family.

Lu Shangjin’s fingers stiffened, not even feeling the burn from the ashes
that scattered on his fingertips.

Lu Jue gave him some time to consider and smiled at his nephew.

He had no reason to reject. Lu Jue continued to watch him. Lu Shangjin had

arranged a gland replacement operation for Yan Yi, so the lop-eared rabbit’s
A3 glands had no use to him anymore.

Lu Shangjin coveted that lop-eared rabbit for so many years. In other

words, any family who knew about the lop-eared rabbit A3 glands casted
covetous eyes at him. As long as Yan Yi left Lu Shangjin’s power of
influence, there would be thousands of gland hunters who would take him
apart into a pile of ground meat— they were just afraid of Yan Yi as he was
still the Lu family’s daughter in law. He was strong, but he wouldn’t be able
to defeat thousands against one. Sooner or later, there will come a day
where the oil in the lamp dries up.

“My apologies,” Lu Shangjin crushed the cigarette butts, stroking Yuan

Mi’s slender waist and lifted his gaze slightly, “Don’t get any ideas you
shouldn’t have.”

Suddenly, he pushed Yuan Mi aside. Lu Shangjin took out a Desert Eagle

from Yuan Mi’s belt, loaded it up and aimed at one go. With a shot of
gunfire, Lu Jue’s head exploded, blood splashing everywhere.

The heavy barrel of the gun and the shock from the recoil did not make Lu
Shangjin’s wrist tremble for even half a minute.

The hall fell silent, the atmosphere suddenly dropping to a freezing point.

Yuan Mi sat on the floor lifelessly with wide eyes, his cheeks splattered
with warm heat. His legs had turned so soft that he couldn’t stand to support
his body at all and could only sit there remaining still, seized with terror. He
slowly shifted his stiff line of sight to Lu Shangjin’s face.

Lu Shangjin held the gun with one hand and leaned slightly, his expression
as cold and detached as ever. It seemed like it didn’t matter that a life had
exploded in front of his eyes, and was instead just another boring fireworks
blooming.

The security and bodyguards of the entire cruise ship rushed to the casino
hall. The aristocrats at the scene screamed and scurried out, uncontrollable
pheromones spread chaotically.

Lu Shangjin grabbed the collar of the security guard closest to him, gripped
his hair and ruthlessly smashed him onto the gambling table. He took out
two pistols from his gun belt, then rolled on the ground and stood on one
knee. He hunched over and reached out to Yuan Mi, habitually flinging a
gun to him and subconsciously shouted deeply, “Get over here!”

As soon as the words were spoken, Yuan Mi lifted his head and his line of
sight connected with Lu Shangjin’s.
Yuan Mi was scared into a blank state. His trembling hands groped for the
pistol in front of him. It was about a kilogram or two and he couldn’t hold it
up at all, let alone know how to load it and pull the trigger. With a quivering
look, he raised his watery eyes, crying out in fear, “J-Jin ge…”

When their eyes connected, the expression in Lu Shangjin’s eyes

extinguished, mixed with some confusion.

At that moment, a voice in his heart suddenly told him, “This was not the
face he wanted to see.”

But in his heart, some things that had already been extinguished were trying
to burn right then.

There were countless beautiful, submissive, enchanting and considerate

omegas, but there was only one who could give his absolute trust to him.

The Desert Eagle in his hand carried a familiar temperature.

Some dormant gland cells were waking up.

 Chap 16

Yuan Mi’s entire body trembled as he crawled towards Lu Shangjin’s feet.

Frowning, Lu Shangjin grabbed Yuan Mi’s collar and dragged him up,
hastily avoiding the security guards who were coming into the casino. They
headed out the exit and towards the deck.

Before getting off the helicopter earlier, Lu Shangjin had stuffed a gun by
his foot. Yuan Mi had been shivering unstoppably. He never expected that
Lu Shangjin’s circle would be so bloody and reigned with terror. Being by
his side was a position not anyone could just stand in.

Yuan Mi sat slumped against the door, he lifted his head as he looked at Lu
Shangjin.

Lu Shangjin was still wearing the ink-black fox coat, his indifferent gaze
swept across the two security guards who rushed by the door. The powerful
force from the Desert Eagle’s recoil did not shake Lu Shangjin’s hand at all,
every single bullet was shot directly between the targets’ eyebrows with
precision.

His back was against the sky filled with stars, his gaze cold and sharp, like
an eagle diving down towards its prey with a head dripping in blood.

After the bullet was shot, Lu Shangjin flipped his hand and changed his
gun. The Desert Eagle dropped in front of Yuan Mi, making a heavy falling
sound. Yuan Mi trembled involuntarily, but he listened to Lu Shangjin’s
lowered voice, “Pick it up and keep it properly.”

“…Okay…” Yuan Mi reacted slowly. Like an old lady hastily picking up

fallen apples, he faltered on the ground, then took the heavy Desert Eagle
into his arms and wrapped his coat around it.
The scorching heat from the muzzle burnt Yuan Mi’s collarbone, but he
didn’t dare loosen his grip, as though he was protecting Lu Shangjin’s
important treasure. A faint sweet scent tainted the Desert Eagle, left with
some residue of the milk candy pheromones.

Yuan Mi raised his eyes, the extremely frightened yet slack pupils covered
with a layer of mist.

He was a gorgeous omega, worthy of being a prosperous beauty in his

circle. His eyelashes were bleached white, his short golden brown hair
making him appear more soft and alluring. Under the flashing lights,
thousands of people sought after him, but at the very moment of being at
the front line of life and death, that quiet little rabbit was still the main
character.

Lu Shangjin tossed aside the empty magazine pistol and grabbed Yuan Mi
roughly, dragging him to the helicopter that had already started to roar. He
pulled out an AK47, and without needing to strap it on his shoulder, he
single-handedly fired at the security guards coming towards them. He then
climbed the helicopter and jumped inside.

The helicopter branded with the peregrine falcon family’s emblem took off
slowly. Lu Shangjin threw the empty bullets from the AK47 into the sea,
then pressed the button of a remote control.

The cruise ship exploded from the center of the casino, dark clouds slowly
rose to the sky, the powerful impact of the explosion affecting the
helicopter. The helicopter shook violently as it left the troubling place and
prepared for a return trip.

The explosion that was neither big nor small was enough to burn all the
equipment in the casino. As for whether the aristocrats present had taken
videos or not, Lu Shangjin trusted that those who were unwilling for the
peregrine falcon Lu family to break up would know what to say or what not
to say.

As for the beta confident who knew insider information hidden by Lu Jue,
Lu Shangjin had the patience to find him by himself.
Lu Jue did not even intend to hand over this beta and planned to trap the
white wolf with empty hands. Lu Shangjin felt disdain towards dealing with
him. Lu Jue was cunning enough; not only did he not contact that beta, he
didn’t even leave a trace of pheromones on him. Otherwise, with only a
light trace of pheromones, Lu Shangjin would be able to track his location
with his peregrine falcon M2 ability.

The cruise ship was blown up into a large hall, the billowing black smoke
rose to the sky with the raging fire, burning half the starry sky into a
purplish red searing iron.

On the deck, the security guards and crew were putting out the fire in chaos.
There was an alpha silently leaning against the side barrier of the deck, one
hand resting leisurely on the handrail, while his right hand held a glass of
red wine, swirling it slightly to make the liquor roll evenly against the glass.
With half lidded eyes, he lightly sniffed the aroma. His tall figure appeared
more enchanting against the light of the fire.

The alpha turned his face to the side, he lifted his chin towards the distant
helicopter and raised his glass, smiling as he mouthed to Lu Shangjin,
“Cheers.”

The corner of his peach blossom eyes rose slightly. There was a birthmark
on his lower eyelid, and he had unforgettably beautiful cheeks with an awe-
inspiring sense of evil essence. This was a spider alpha.

He took out a name card from his pocket and threw it out with two fingers.

Lu Shangjin clasped his protective belt as he stared at the spider alpha

smiling at him from the deck. Blue veins burst on the back of his hand. He
unconsciously clenched his jaw, causing an ear-grating sound of grinding
teeth.

Even if that exaggerated hair style had been dyed back to black, that face
was unforgettable.

He was the alpha who lowered his head to kiss Yan Yi in that photo.
Lu Shangjin first released the J1 differentiative ability “extreme vision”, as
if to engrave this utterly hateful face on the to-kill list of names in his heart.

He was able to clearly see the name on the fluttering name card before it
fell into the water. Shao Wenjing, M2 Spider alpha. Lu Jue’s adoptive child
and heir.

He couldn’t help but feel an abrupt pain in his heart.

With the spider’s M2 differentiative ability “mental paralysis”, Yan Yi was

placed in a trance in that photo. Who would deliberately show Lu Shangjin
such an ambiguous angle?

“Shao. Wen. Jing…” Lu Shangjin grabbed the AK47 without warning, but
the helicopter had already departed the range.

Shao Wenjing took a sip of red wine and squinted his peach blossom eyes
as he smiled at Lu Shangjin in a relaxed manner, “He’s really cute, I’m just
messing.”

He had just so happened to meet the little lop-eared rabbit at the door of his
club business on a late night, and conveniently changed into the masseuse
uniform, intending to spend a hot and passionate night with the little omega.
Unexpectedly, he only let him touch his back the entire night.

No matter what he thought, he was at a loss.

The helicopter gradually grew out of sight.

——

It flew smoothly to the fixed landing point. Lu Shangjin leaned against the
rifle as he sat on the folding panel to retain his mental composure. Yuan Mi
was weakly leaning on the opposite side, his face deathly pale, having just
vomited.

He returned the Desert Eagle from his arms to Lu Shangjin, then wrapped
himself tightly with his coat and looked at him helplessly.
Lu Shangjin watched the distant night sky expressionlessly. He came back
to his senses and took the Desert Eagle. His fingertips rubbed the muzzle of
the gun, then rubbed again.

Yuan Mi hugged his knees wearily and lifted his head to ask him, “Jin ge, is
it so hard to admit that you like him?”

“Everytime you fuck me, you would always call out Yan Yan, how
meaningless.” Yuan Mi stretched his neck and leaned against the steel plate,
exposing the word “freedom” on his neck. The snow-white eyelashes were
moist and shiny. He lifted his arm and rested his forearm over his eyes, the
corner of his lips pulled into a bitter smile, “I just pretend that you were
calling out Yuan Yuan, really, Jin ge, this is so meaningless.”

Lu Shangjin’s tolerance threshold was not high enough to let a sugar baby
celebrity say such things to his face. But he was in no mood to care, only
silently turning his head back to the faint dawn sky.

“The assistant will bring you the card in a few days,” Lu Shangjin said
lightly.

Consider it the end of being his sugar baby with the sum of breaking up fees
and hush-money.

Yuan Mi had already known that this was the outcome. If the other party
was no longer his financial backer, it was inevitable for him to speak more
presumptuously.

“Lu xiansheng,” Yuan Mi lowered his eyelids and kissed Lu Shangjin’s

finger resting on his knee, then faced the other side desolately.

He then fished out the phone that was almost thrown out from his pocket,
deleting Lu Shangjin’s contact information one by one in front of him. After
which, he scrolled through his album, murmuring, “Take a look, there aren’t
any photos left, if you don’t trust me I’ll give you this phone.”

Lu Shangjin didn’t look at him, facing outside lost in thought.

“Fine.” Yuan Mi sighed, then threw his phone into the sea.

Lu Shangjin had provided for him for three years, but did not leave even a
single photo. Yuan Mi occasionally wanted to take a photo of him pillowed
on his abs to show off to his friends, but he was not allowed.

From then on he understood; this sugar baby relationship was simply

cleaner than the period of time when he was hidden by the company.

Within those three years, he had also been to the hospital a few times, but
the only time Lu Shangjin accompanied him was when he had a gland
physical examination at the start of their relationship. Lu Shangjin had
asked the doctor to check the gland compatibility degree with another
physical examination form.

As a result, after he came out, the compatibility degree seemed quite low.
Yuan Mi didn’t mind, but when Lu Shangjin saw the results, his eyes were
dim, and he went to the stairwell outside the inspection room for a cigarette.

Yuan Mi didn’t dare to ask. He only vaguely felt that he dodged a

catastrophic hit.

——

2019-4-18 12:05 PM

——

In the cramped hotel room, Yan Yi was in a daze in bed.

He went online to search for precautions during one’s pregnancy. There was
a point saying that you should not stare at your phone screen for a long time
when you are pregnant.

He immediately put his phone down.

After a while, he picked it up again and continued researching precautions

for pregnancy.
Without an alpha’s care, it was difficult to attend to oneself alone when
pregnant.

In order to prepare for the gland replacement operation, he was injected

with a significant dose of anesthetics. For Yan Yi’s glands to turn
completely dormant, it took him a dosage that was five times higher than an
average omega. The A3 glands were like a powerful electric generator,
containing enough energy to sustain the operation of a large-scale heavy
industrial plant for several years.

The delayed recovery of functioning glands was similar to that of robots

being powered off. Yan Yi’s pregnant body was dragged down by this
heavy burden every passing day. When he pushed open the windows every
morning, the incoming cold wind even made him stumble. He was now
weak and fragile like a scrap of paper, desperately in need of an alpha’s
soothing pheromones to provide him with some strength.

Now, his vision would blur when he looked at a screen for a while, so he
could only toss his phone away and curl up on his side, his back facing the
electric heater.

He had blacklisted Xia Jingtian’s number, and had drawn a clear line
between them these past few days, but that child still didn’t listen, stubborn
as a donkey.

The sound of footsteps climbing up the stairs came from outside the door.
Right after, a knock sounded, then a hummed whistle, “Little bunny, be
good and open the door, quickly open it, I wanna come in.”

Yan Yi buried his head under the pillow, unable to handle that lovesick little
alpha at the door. After requesting for leave from Lu Shangjin, Lu Shangjin
didn’t reply either. Maybe he had taken his harem on vacation.

He lied on his side feebly, his face sickly pale. In the first few days, he still
had the energy to crawl out of bed to pour himself a glass of water. Today,
he couldn’t even get out of bed.
Even the strength in his bones had been worn out. He half opened his
dispirited eyes and felt around for his phone. He tapped on Lu Shangjin’s
contact but didn’t have the courage to dial it.

But he really wanted to hear what he had to say.

With trembling fingers, the number was dialed.

Maybe God made this decision for him. Yan Yi waited silently. One ring,
two rings, three rings…

He exerted half his strength to think about what to say to Lu Shangjin.

Until the automatic receiver prompted that the number he had dialed was
unavailable.

In the first place, the disappointment at the end wasn’t being cursed at face
to face, nor was it the harsh and hurtful phrase “get lost” that came from a
head full of anger, but it was the lack of response from the number he dialed
when he was extremely helpless.

When he was feeling the most disappointed, he still remained calm. He just
felt his heart cracking from dryness, wanting to apply hand cream to soothe
it.

Yan Yi closed his eyelids after blacklisting Lu Shangjin’s number, it lied

side by side with Xia Jingtian’s number on the list.

Then he opened the browser and searched for the keywords, “resignation
letter template”.

The little lovers in the villa needed him to make room for them. Yan Yi
didn’t want to hang on anymore. A few of his luggage were still in the villa,
he would get them when he felt better.

He thought that his head was so numb as if it was wrapped in a layer of

paste, unable to think clearly, so he closed his eyes to sleep for a while. In
fact, he had been sleeping intermittently for the entire day. His forehead was
heating up, and he felt the tormenting bits of discomfort covering his body.
He would go to the hospital when he has the energy the next day.

The knocks on the door sounded for a while, then it stopped. When Yan Yi
got some peace and quiet, he finally fell asleep.

Xia Jingtian climbed up from the window on the second floor and crept into
this cramped room. He placed a bowl of hot porridge and vegetable stuffed
buns by the head of the bed so Yan Yi could eat them when he woke up.

The little rabbit was so hurtful, directly rejecting his care and affection.

However, he couldn’t go against his attraction from the high pheromone

compatibility. Xia Jingtian was so infatuated with his scent, yet he didn’t
have the heart to coerce him, so he simply forced himself to exercise
patience. He had traveled from Jiu’An city to this point, he couldn’t return
without accomplishing anything.

He sat beside the bed and hugged Yan Yi’s back that was so thin it could
hurt his hand when touched. Hearing his painful sleep talks, he couldn’t
hold back from releasing soothing pheromones. He bent his body and
pulled Yan Yi into his arms, his heart ached as he caressed him in comfort.

The little rabbit was so light and soft that he barely weighed anything.
When Xia Jingtian hugged him, a corner of the woollen sweater
accidentally lifted up, revealing a scar on his waist.

Xia Jingtian looked at it in surprise. It was a hole from a bullet, appearing

particularly unpleasant against Yan Yi’s white and soft body. Like a
defecting crack in a jade wall, the hideous bullet hole was odd on the thin
and fragile figure.

This was an old wound, how painful had it been when the bullet cut across
his body?

He subconsciously hugged Yan Yi tightly and kissed his forehead covered

in cold sweat. He wanted so badly to take him away from that twisted and
mental alpha by his side and make up for all the care that Lu Shangjin owed
him all these years. But Yan Yi didn’t even want to go to the hospital with
him.

This world is so ruthless. Some seek but fail to succeed, while others are
cast aside like old shoes.

To Yan Yi, the highly compatible soothing pheromones were like a bowl of
clear water in front of the eyes of a desert traveler. Yan Yi grasped Xia
Jingtian’s t-shirt with difficulty, like a dependent drug addict, wanting to
completely submit his body to this gentle alpha, but also wanting to push
him away in agony.

“No… don’t let me become stained with your scent…” Yan Yi struggled to
push him away, but he was embraced more tightly and couldn’t move.

A higher concentration of soothing pheromones was released. Xia Jingtian’s

character had a strong presence, the gentleness of the lion alpha was like a
bow from the emperor. Dignified, he exercised control and carefully
restrained himself, not resigned to being rejected.

Completely unintentional, Yan Yi fell into Xia Jingtian’s arms, his pale
feeble hand still gripping onto his shirt. He whispered softly.

“Jin ge… I’m having your baby… take me back home…”

The weak pleading voice was sticky and soft like melted milk candy, Xia
Jingtian’s heart skipped a beat, dully aching in a grip.

For the past few days that he had been around Yan Yi, Yan Yi’s attitude was
estranged when he was awake and never displayed the vulnerability of an
omega. No matter how uncomfortable he felt, he would only take a sip of
water, silently holding it in.

Yan Yi gently hugged Xia Jingtian’s neck, sinking into the inexhaustible
supply of soothing pheromones.

The unbearable jealousy made Xia Jingtian glare at the clean glands at the
back of Yan Yi’s neck in disgust. He lowered his head and kissed the tender
skin, feeling the person in his arms shiver a little. His mouth opened
slightly, exposing two sharp canine teeth.

Like grabbing onto a life-saving driftwood, Yan Yi begged with tears.

“Mark me…I really want to have an alpha too…Jin ge…”

 Chap 17

His woollen sweater was fluffy. He arched his body in Xia Jingtian’s arms
and curled into a flat, thin and weak glutinous rice ball.

Xia Jingtian sat on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed, holding Yan Yi
on his lap and taking his hand.

Through the thin woollen sweater, he could see his distinctively tall
shoulder blades, and the crooked neckline revealed deep collarbones. His
wrists were slender and he wore a ring on his ring finger. Because he was
incredibly thin, the ring could be easily removed, it struggled to slip from
his finger and then it dropped to the floor.

“Is it a wedding ring…” Xia Jingtian caressed Yan Yi comfortingly as he

hugged him. He bent down to pick up the ring and examined it in his hand.

It had exquisite and expensive workmanship, the design simple yet

extravagant, unlike what the little rabbit would choose. It must be what Lu
Shangjin picked out. Old scratches were left on the ring’s surface, but it was
wiped clean.

He had already been tossed out the house, why was he still wearing it?

Xia Jingtian kissed his weak closed eyelids and touched the clean, fragile
glands at the back of his neck. The omega he had been secretly in love with
for a long time was sleeping hazily in his arms, as soft as a puddle of sweet
syrup. For Yan Yi to dependably immerse himself in the soothing
pheromones released by him, it made the alpha extremely gratified.

However, he didn’t want to become Lu Shangjin in Yan Yi’s subconscious.

He wanted him to know that lions were a hundred times stronger than
peregrine falcons.
He held Yan Yi’s thin hand and slipped the ring back on. But on the light
white circle on the skin that had worn the ring for several years, he saw a
line of words, “everlasting love.”

The position of his heart was pulled. Immediately after, like blood cooling
down, the enthusiasm in his chest suddenly faded.

Xia Jingtian stared at the minuscule flowery tattoo. After many years, the
edges had become unclear. He rigidly put the ring back on Yan Yi’s finger
and raised his head with no other choice, closing his eyes.

Lu Shangjin was really no ordinary person. Which part of this lovable, soft
and beautiful little lop-eared rabbit did he not like?

Xia Jingtian suddenly laughed, then looked at the cute sleeping Yan Yi in
his arms and sighed.

If he were Lu Shangjin, and there was such an omega who wormed his way
into his arms and weakly acted coquettish, how could he bear not to love
him?

Xia Jingtian accompanied Yan Yi for three hours. For these three hours, Yan
Yi was curled up and slept quietly. He thought about putting Yan Yi down
and heading out, but Yan Yi hugged him tightly, murmuring don’t go.

“Don’t be scared,” Xia Jingtian caressed his neck and shoulders patiently,
then slowly put him under the quilt.

However, Yan Yi crawled up and searched for him in a panic. The smell of
highly compatible baby’s breath flowers made Yan Yi addicted and
reluctant for him to leave, he whispered pleadingly, “Cold…hug a little
more…”

Xia Jingtian’s breathing gradually turned short, the hand patting Yan Yi
became out of rhythm. He soothingly spoke in a lowered voice and moved
Yan Yi’s hand away, lifting the quilt up to cover Yan Yi’s tender and clean
glands, then hurriedly ran to the bathroom and locked the door dead shut.
At the moment of relaxing, a thick concentration of courting pheromones
exploded in the bathroom, the smell of baby’s breath permeated every
corner and filled the air vents. His lower body swelled with pain, causing a
huge protrusion to push out against his dark blue jeans.

Cold sweat dripped from the tip of his hair onto his collar. He leaned
against the door and fished out an inhibitor from his pocket. He bit off the
sealed opening of the needle, then stuck it in the back of his neck and
pushed the medical solution inside.

He was in a rut, and there was a fragrant and soft omega outside the door.
The omega did not have the ability to resist at all, Xia Jingtian could even
force him to open his legs and accept his entry and marking.

It was rare for him to use inhibitors to control his rut, but only for Yan Yi.
For alphas of this status, omegas would be sent to their door whenever they
are in a rut, using their mouths or their lower region to relieve the alpha,
and he didn’t need to restrain at all.

Ten minutes later, Xia Jingtian’s state became calmer. He took a shower,
then received a call.

“Huh, it’s Lu ge, you must’ve been busy lately.” Xia Jingtian looked in the
mirror and felt if there was any stubble on his chin he needed to shave,
“Where is the lop-eared rabbit omega I want? I’ve already prepared the
money.”

There was a brief silence on the phone, the hoarse voice sounding a little
tired, “Hand Yan Yi over.”

Xia Jingtian raised his eyebrows, he held the sink and sneered, “Yan Yi?
Oh, are you talking about sao-zi1? What does that have to do with me?
How would I know.”

“You lost sao-zi? Impressive.” He dug into the wound again.

“I can’t find him.” Lu Shangjin was only probing him, he could only rely on
Yan Yi’s pheromones to pinpoint his location, but now he wasn’t able to
determine his whereabouts. However, he heard that the darling pearl of the
Xia family from Hong Ye had come to Chang Hui city.

“Don’t make me look for your ge,” Lu Shangjin said hoarsely.

Because Yan Yi’s glands had become dormant, the amount of pheromones
he could release was already too low. Moreover, this place had been
shrouded by Xia Jingtian’s pheromones and Yan Yi’s pheromones had been
concealed tightly by the mountain lion’s M2 ones.

Lu Shangjin intended to hang up. He had made thirteen calls to Yan Yi, but
the line was unexpectedly constantly busy.

Xia Jingtian single-handedly fiddled with the butterfly knife hanging on his
key, casually swinging the blade between his fingers for two rounds then
slotting it back into its sheath, “Ge, just look for my dad. Who can touch
your wife? Probably got mad and went back to his family’s house, ge.”

The phone hung up.

The young master of the Xia family in Hong Ye was spoiled and held in the
palm of the hand of the whole family. Being arrogant and domineering had
become a habit deep in his bones. When he was still in school, he was
already defying every law. In fact, he was twenty-two this year and was
only in his third year of university. Yan Yi asked him about his age, but he
subconsciously concealed the truth by two years. He didn’t expect that he
would still be considered a child.

Xia Jingtian held his breath, wanting to find Lu Shangjin for a fight and
beat him up for all the wrongs Yan Yi had suffered.

He dried himself off. Just as he was about to go out of the bathroom,

someone from his family called.

“Hello, ge.” Xia Jingtian was a little more honest. He kept away his
butterfly knife and leaned against the door to wipe his hair.
It sounded like his brother was at a wine party, the accompanying omegas
delicately called out director Xia. The low quality perfume-like pheromones
almost smoked Xia Jingtian’s eyes through the phone line.

Xia Pingtian crossed his legs and leaned against the sofa, the obedient
omega in his arms poured a glass of wine for director Xia. He drank from
the omega’s hand, “Baobei, I heard you went to Chang Hui city to play?”

His brother’s voice was similar to his, without close attention, it was
difficult to tell them apart.

Xia Jingtian coughed, “Ah, who did you hear it from?”

Xia Pingtian smiled, “Your teacher in charge,” his tone suddenly turned
stern, “If you don’t feel like studying anymore, then get the fuck back here
and inherit the family property! I’ve said it before. You even made me find
a lop-eared rabbit omega for you. You have such a good eye to even dig out
the Lu family’s wife? Do you want to fucking die or do you not want to live
anymore?”

“Leave me alone. He’s not well.” Xia Jingtian opened a crack in the door
and glanced at Yan Yi sleeping in the quilt without the comfort of soothing
pheromones, growing more and more restless in his sleep. The hand
covered in cold sweat clung tightly onto the covers.

“Okay baobei, hurry back, isn’t he just a lop-eared rabbit omega? Ge will
catch another one for you, there are more of those things.” Xia Pingtian
crushed his cigarette butt, “There are dutch rabbits, teacup rabbits, rex
rabbits, Totoro, whatever you want, ge will find one for you.”

Xia Jingtian walked to the bedside and touched Yan Yi’s face that had a
restless and painful expression. He released some soothing pheromones
once more and stroked his little rabbit ears, watching him gradually calm
down.

He lowered his voice and said angrily, “Lu ge doesn’t care about him at
all.”
Xia Pingtian felt that his little brother was completely hopeless, “Are you
next to him? Whether Lu Shangjin cared or not, that’s his wife, what’s the
point of being together? What’s more, these rabbits are very coquettish,
they can have false pregnancies even if you touch them casually.”

In a split second, Xia Jingtian didn’t know whether he was being insulted or
Yan Yi was the one being insulted. He cursed in a low voice, “Bullshit,”
then hung up the phone.

But whatever his brother said, he listened.

“False…false pregnancy?” Xia Jingtian froze as he stared at Yan Yi’s face.

He looked down and searched for the keywords.

When a rabbit’s back is touched while it is unconscious, it would mistake it

for mating, thus leading to false pregnancy. The onset of labour behaviours
would appear, but no bunnies would reproduce.

“……” Xia Jingtian was silent for a long time, then sent a message to his
schoolmate who was studying medicine, “Will lop-eared rabbit omegas
have false pregnancies?”

His schoolmate replied with a voice message really quickly.

Rabbit omegas would show early signs of false pregnancies, and there
would be a slight bulge in the lower abdomen in about three days. I suggest
going to the hospital to deal with it immediately, otherwise it would cause
damage to the omega’s mind and body. Did you make someone have a false
pregnancy?

Xia Jingtian recalled that when he had sent Timothy Hay to Yan Yi in the
hospital ward, he saw that he was suffering too much, so he couldn’t bear it
and asked him to endure, holding and touching him.

Xia Jingtian: ……I think so.

His schoolmate sent an emoticon: You’re a scum.jpg

Schoolmate: Some would use external pressure methods to deal with rabbit
omegas’ false pregnancies, but rabbits are easily frightened, they would be
extremely scared if it’s too painful. And you also have to be tactful when
you tell him, or he would be in a lot of agony. Why don’t you bring him to
our hospital.

Before Xia Jingtian could reply, Yan Yi slowly opened his eyes. He got up
and felt around for the water by his bed, lazily taking a sip.

When he saw Xia Jingtian, he was a little suspicious, his voice still carried
the nasal sound of just waking up, “You haven’t left, the sky’s getting
dark.”

The sufficient amount of soothing pheromones allowed Yan Yi to regain a

little spirit, supplying his energy. The omega whose glands were dormant
could only rely on the supply of alphas’ pheromones to support his spirit.

The pleasant scent of baby’s breath filled the air in the room. As Yan Yi
sobered up after a while, he clutched onto his own clothes and hugged his
knees with a frown. His ears drooped in distress, “Don’t give me your
pheromones…you’re still young, there are so many omegas who are
younger and more beautiful than me outside, what’s wrong with you? What
on earth is so good about an old rabbit who’d been played by someone else
for over ten years?”

He seemed to be asking himself as well.

Actually, his twenty-seventh birthday just passed, if it wasn’t for Lu

Shangjin giving him the cold shoulder, he would feel that he was still young
and good looking. He didn’t even trust the mirror, only believed Lu
Shangjin. He doubted his charismatic abilities and appearance, only
refusing to believe that Lu Shangjin was a heartless man.

Xia Jingtian sat behind him and circled his arms around Yan Yi’s waist,
burying his forehead in his shoulders. He apologized nervously, “I’m…
sorry.”
Yan Yi subconsciously protected his belly and turned around blankly, “W-
what have you done again?”

“I…” Xia Jingtian couldn’t think of a tactful explanation and how he could
avoid letting Yan Yi get hurt even more.

At this moment, Xia Jingtian’s phone rang again, his teacher in charge was
urging him to go back and take the end of term exam.

He intended to apply for an examination extension, but his phone was

snatched away. Yan Yi’s calm voice spoke to the person on the line, “Hello
teacher, he will go back, there’s no need for delay.”

Yan Yi hung up the phone for him, turning it around between his fingers.
Xia Jingtian reached forward for it, but Yan Yi took it back.

“Be good, go back to class.” Yan Yi drooped his eyes as he fiddled with his
phone, the lock screen was a countdown to the final exam with only a few
days left.

“You must’ve prepared for a long time,” Yan Yi asked, “Is it an important
exam?”

Xia Jingtian refused to admit, “Not too difficult, just a general exam. I can
take it again next year, I want to stay with you now.”

Yan Yi gave a rare smile.

The beautiful appearance of this youth was the same as Lu Shangjin when
he was twenty years old.

Eventually, it will change. Who didn’t firmly believe in the faith of

marriage or love at the age of twenty? When Lu Shangjin carried him to the
top of a coastal reef and sang to him, who would expect that he would
become like this in ten years?

“Really, go back to class.” Yan Yi hung his watery eyelashes and returned
his phone to him, “I’ll go to the hospital when you leave.”

2019-4-19 17：23 PM

——

In the Lu family cemetery.

Lu Shangjin wore a black suit and stood in front of a tombstone.

The picture on the tombstone was of an omega with a bright smile, about
thirty years old, but the facial features were handsome and moved a
person’s heart.

His biological father was a chameleon omega, the partner of Lu Lin’s first
marriage.

A ferrari stopped outside the cemetery. From a discerning eye, one could
tell it was the car of president Bi from Jin Feng group.

Bi Ruijing wore a solemn black suit as well. Holding a bouquet of lilies, he

walked to Lu Shangjin’s side. He put the flowers in front of the monument
before lighting a cigarette.

“Since three years ago, you haven’t sent uncle any flowers.” The wind was
strong. Bi Ruijing flicked his hand to put off the fire. He inhaled the smoke
and breathed out, “Fortunately I’d done it every year. What’s wrong,
something on your mind?”

The whites of Lu Shangjin’s eyes were bloodshot, but his cold breaths
lingered, he had just become a little haggard.

Instead of replying, he asked casually.

“The hamster omega that you’ve taken a liking to will be sent over in two
days, still in good condition, if you asked for it a few days too late, it would
be gone.”
Bi Ruijing raised his straight sword eyebrows, obviously surprised and
taken aback, he replied carefully.

“Hamster? What hamster?”

 Chap 18

Warnings // Suicide and mentions of child murder/ torture

Suddenly being reminded of something, Lu Shangjin took a deep breath.

Suppressing his anger, he asked, “Xia Pingtian told me that you liked the
hamster omega that I brought to the hospital for a gland replacement
operation.”

Bi Ruijing dusted away the ashes, puzzled, “Don’t talk nonsense, how could
I steal someone from you? Who are you replacing glands for?”

The corner of Lu Shangjin’s lips pulled a little.

Although the age gap between the Xia brothers was several years, they
looked alike, even their voices were cut from the same mould. After
carefully thinking about president Xia’s voice on the phone when he had
asked Lu Shangjin to let out the hamster omega, it indeed sounded very
similar to the second young master Xia he had spoken to today.

“Messing with me.” Lu Shangjin gritted his teeth.

Bi Ruijing slapped his forehead, he lowered his voice and said to the
bodyguard next to him, “Look at the time, once fu-ren1 wakes up he has to
eat the wheat noodles from the place at Xin Jie in North Gate.”

The bodyguard said quietly, “Fu-ren just called and said he won’t eat that
anymore. He wants you to go back and make mutton ball soup for him.”

“What time would it be by the time I get back?” Bi Ruijing frowned as he

looked at his watch, “Alright alright, hurry and ask Zhao-ma to buy mutton
and wait for me after grinding it, I’ll drive home myself.”
“Yes.”

Bi Ruijing stamped on the cigarette butt and patted Lu Shangjin’s shoulder,

“Something came up at home, I’ll make a move first.”

Lu Shangjin went home alone. No one had cleaned around the house for a
long time, and a layer of dust covered the furniture. He was also too lazy to
hire a helper.

The ashtray on the tea table was broken, its pieces still lying scattered under
the sofa. Lu Shangjin walked to the french windows and picked up the
strewn boxes of rabbit snacks one by one, neatly stacking them.

It had been a long time since he’d asked Yan Yi what he wanted to eat.
More often, Lu Shangjin thought he understood him, so he bought food he
thought Yan Yi liked to eat.

But once when he asked Yan Yi what he wanted to eat and what he liked to
eat, the silly little rabbit would always reply, “I like to eat whatever you
give me.”

Back then, Lu Shangjin would be attentive to his small habits. He liked to

eat strawberries. Whenever he did, he would eat a big box of them. Eating
too much cold watery food was bad for the stomach, so Lu Shangjin would
only allow him to eat half a box a day.

The little rabbit would sit on the sofa and sulk for half a day. Lu Shangjin
would carry a bowl of white fungus soup of appropriate temperature and
feed him, only able to coax him after holding and kissing him for a long
time.

In the beginning, Yan Yi had a big temper.

But gradually, he would be coaxed easily.

He thought Yan Yi was more sensible than before. At present, he was

woken up by reality. For someone to become more and more easy to coax,
it’s probably because the person who coaxed him was becoming more and
more cold. Being able to receive a hug was lucky enough, how could Yan
Yi dare to go back to the time before where he could make a fuss just to
listen to the lingering comfort he could never get tired of listening to?

Lu Shangjin walked around the wide and spacious villa twice. He found a
wardrobe in the storeroom, quilts and pillows piled up inside. Actually, Yan
Yi had his own room, but he never slept there. When he was alone, he was
only willing to sleep in such a narrow wardrobe.

Once, Lu Shangjin was socializing outside and only returned home around
two or three in the morning. He couldn’t find Yan Yi anywhere and
searched for him in every corner. He finally found him in the wardrobe and
carried the little rabbit out who had curled up fast asleep.

Yan Yi rubbed his eyes and hugged his neck softly, murmuring a complaint,
“I’m scared to be alone…come back early tomorrow.”

Lu Shangjin felt especially bad. He wrapped Yan Yi into his arms and
coaxed him, “I’ll definitely come back early and accompany you
tomorrow.”

Several years passed in a flash, Yan Yi had long refused to behave

coquettishly to him.

Lu Shangjin always thought that Yan Yi was the first to change, which
made their feelings fade. Now he realized that he had been the one who
changed.

He bent down and felt around until he found a photo under the pillow.

In the photo, two youths under the age of ten had their arms around each
other’s shoulders. Yan Yi pulled his rabbit ears and pouted his lips. Lu
Shangjin’s head was turned as he looked at him, his eyes carrying a pure
smile.

At the time, they hadn’t known each other for long, let alone kissed, only
secretly holding hands with a blush.
The photo was sealed with plastic, but it could be seen that the photo itself
was a little torn and stained with a few drops of dried tears. It was probably
touched until it became uneven, so it was sealed with a layer of plastic to be
retained until now.

Thinking about these few years, they had loved before and turned cold
before. Unexpectedly, they were unable to find anything to prove that these
times once existed. The only thing left was this photo taken for them by his
omega father.

“So it’s still here.” Lu Shangjin’s eyes turned gentle and he put the photo
back under the pillow. A black gift box was also stuffed under it. The clean
carrot brooch was properly placed inside. If he felt around again, he could
find several other precious things Yan Yi treasured, all stuffed under the
pillow so his mind would be at ease when he slept.

It had been so good in the past. Nobody had even mentioned compatibility
fit, how did compatibility become an excuse for being fed up? Lu Shangjin
rubbed his temple hard.

He went downstairs to the armoury underground and picked out a pistol, put
on silencer bullets inside and took three magazines. Then he started the car
and left the villa. Following the moonlight, he entered the pine forest in the
suburb of Chang Hui city; Lu Lin’s residence.

Lu Shangjin stopped his car a kilometre away and walked into the house on
foot. The lights in Lu Lin’s room were off, but Lu Shangjin still cautiously
waited for half an hour under the shadows in the garden, making sure Lu
Lin had slept soundly. He then loaded the gun secretly and climbed up the
balcony to the second floor. He walked down the stairs from the second
floor and turned to the basement.

The basement was bright and spacious. With an area of over a hundred
square meters, more than twenty compartmental units were built. Lu
Shangjin held his breath, slowly following the silent passageway of the
basement and headed deeper.

He stopped in front of one of the rooms.

The lights were on inside, it looked like someone lived here.

Lu Shangjin held the gun in his right hand as he leaned towards the door
handle. He unlocked it quietly, pushing open a crack.

The inside was neat and simple. There was a bed and a TV hanging on the
wall, which was playing an old film.

An omega of about fifty years old sat in a wheelchair, his pair of legs were
shrivelled into two thin rods like chopsticks. A steel sheath circled around
his neck, with chains extended all the way to the steel nails on the wall. At
first glance, it looked like a violent and vicious thug was locked up. The
omega lifted his head and smiled gently at Lu Shangjin.

The unexpected smile was tender and bright. Despite having crinkles by his
eyes, he couldn’t hide that he had a beautiful face when he was young.

The omega waved quietly to Lu Shangjin and smiled warmly, “Come here,
I miss you so much.”

Lu Shangjin put down the gun and locked the door. He rushed to the omega
and kneeled down, letting him touch his face.

“Dad.” Lu Shangjin called him softly.

Ye Wan struggled to support his frail body and hugged him. He looked at
his son carefully. Lu Shangjin’s eyes were bloodshot.

“You haven’t slept well?” Ye Wan pressed his eyes with heartache.

Lu Shangjin lowered his eyes, but he stared at the omega’s bulging belly
with wide eyes as though he was stabbed. He’s almost reaching full term.

“Are you pregnant again?” Lu Shangjin’s expression was dull as he stared

at Ye Wan’s belly.

Ye Wan’s gaze was warm, but he wasn’t dreadful. He still answered with a
gentle tone, “Yes. Lu Lin wants a more outstanding generation.”
“He killed my older brother, two younger brothers and four younger sisters,
and it’s still not enough.” Lu Shangjin gripped his gun, his knuckles
clucking.

On the 25th of September in 2012, Lu Shangjin found their dead bodies

soaked in containers of formaldehyde solution in the basement, each
labelled with their differentiation grade. There was a chameleon omega and
beta, and also a peregrine falcon beta. There was even an undifferentiated
peregrine falcon alpha.

He remained quiet as he carried on investigating.

On April 1st 2016, which was also three years ago, he had stopped sending
flowers to Ye Wan’s tombstone.

Because on that day, he discovered that his omega father who had passed
away for several years in the public eye, had been imprisoned in this
basement to give birth continuously.

Lu Shangjin’s omega father Ye Wan had the gland type of an A3

chameleon, the same precious and rare A3 gland type that Yan Yi had. He
was originally a retired special forces soldier and Lu Lin’s sniper in the
past. Ye Wan was his surveyor.

With the chameleon J1 differentiative ability, “360 degree observation”;

The M2 differentiative ability, “Group stealth”;

And the A3 differentiative ability, “Nine-degree spikes”.

A first-grade omega whose three differentiative abilities were all innate for
battle couldn’t escape the fate of being captured by Lu Lin and having
every last drop of blood drained. Yan Yi was just a little rabbit, his
differentiative abilities weren’t able to inflict harm on others.

As a second-grade peregrine falcon alpha, Lu Shangjin casted a thousand

beams everywhere he went. On the outside, he was a cold elite with iron-
hard abilities, calm and restraint. But from that day on, whenever he saw
Yan Yi’s A3 glands, he would become manic and out of control.

So, any omega by his side could be Yan Yi, but he couldn’t face the
eagerness and honesty in Yan Yi’s eyes.

He could neither save his father’s past nor save Yan Yi’s future.

The child who was selected and cultivated by the Lu family, the one who
raised poisonous insects, the one who grew up from trampling on the bones
of his brothers and sisters who had countless failures, who were of low-
grade, would have a hardened heart.

Unless Lu Lin died.

However, it would take some time to replace Lu Lin as the master of the
family.

——

Ye Wan held his hand gently. He took the gun from his tight grip and put it
on his lap, “Have you made up with Yan Yi?”

“No.” Lu Shangjin stood up, his expression completely indifferent, “It’s

impossible, maybe he doesn’t even need me anymore.”

“Phh.” Ye Wan couldn’t help but laugh, “We omegas of this grade never
need anybody.”

“But if, I’m only saying if- if I could receive a little bit of love and
cherishment, I would not live my life like this. I only give birth to children
for him everyday, and I’ve fulfilled my duty.” Ye Wan held Lu Shangjin’s
hand and smiled faintly, revealing a pair of dimples, “Don’t let Yan Yan
become like me and be sad until the end that he would even forget where
the heart is.”

Lu Shangjin stood still, his eyes trembling.

“Back when he was trained by Lu Lin to develop his three differentiative
abilities, he was hurt very severely, his whole left hand was twisted and he
was so afraid that he lied shivering in my arms,” Ye Wan’s voice was
gentle, but each word was like pricking every soft part of Lu Shangjin’s
heart, “The existing technological resources from the Lu family are indeed
advanced, you can’t even tell that Yan Yan’s left hand is reconstructed.”

Lu Shangjin’s eyes widened as he recalled carefully. It was impossible to

distinguish between the visual effects and just from touch alone. His left
hand was dextrous and beautiful enough. Only whenever he saw Lu Lin, he
would hide his left hand behind his back in fear.

But Lu Shangjin was unaware. He even left Yan Yi alone with Lu Lin for
such a long time, his heart was probably already on the edge of collapsing,

Ye Wan smiled calmly, “Freedom and love are antonyms, why do I suffer
from pain sometimes? If an omega with three differentiative abilities never
falls in love with anyone, he would live a good life in this lifetime.”

Lu Lin was very considerate to Ye Wan, raising him as the most superior
and lavish prisoner.

Lu Shangjin whispered, “Wait for me for a year, I’ll get you out when I kill
Lu Lin.”

Ye Wan faced him with a smile, “How have the tulips by the gate grown? I
want to see them when I go out.”

“Since Lu Lin’s pheromones are tulips, I planted a garden of them for him.”

“Actually, I only like lilies, you have to remember to send me some.”

Lu Shangjin was utterly confused. He went out in a hurry, but remembered

his gun was still in the room. When he turned to retrieve it, there was a
muffled sound across the door.

His hand stilled on the door handle, the blood draining from his face.
He slowly pushed open the door. Ye Wan collapsed in a pool of blood, his
hand was holding onto the gun that Lu Shangjin had loaded with silencers,
a charred bullet hole was left in his temple.

Still, he smiled beautifully.

Lu Shangjin stood at the door, his body numb, his eyes reflecting the
shadow of the lamp, seeming a little bright.

“Dad.”
 Chap 19

Lu Shangjin stood by the door and stared blankly for ten whole seconds. It
was as though a thunderbolt exploded on his scalp, a bitter chill instantly
zipping to all his limbs and bones.

He rushed over and pulled Ye Wan into his arms. Blood flowed all over the
floor. It wasn’t quite the thick fishy smell of blood, but was mixed with the
faint scent of lily pheromones; the last warmth remaining in the world to
comfort Lu Shangjin, taking the place of Ye Wan’s touch on his face.

“Dad, dad, dad…” Lu Shangjin could feel the temperature of the body in
his arms that was as light as a feather slowly reduce down to zero. The life
that had exhausted the oil and dried the lamp had already leaked its last
drop in the hourglass, but could never be turned over again.

He wanted to carry Ye Wan and flee out of the basement, taking him to
escape from this horrifying hell, but his neck was enclosed by a special
steel lock. Without Lu Lin’s voice-activated passcode, it could not be
unlocked at all. He once tried countless times to record Lu Lin’s voice, but
they all ended in failure.

The child in Ye Wan’s belly was already in full term and would be able to
be delivered in a few days. Perhaps there’s still hope, perhaps a trace of life
could be saved. Kneeling helplessly in the pool of blood, Lu Shangjin was
so angry that his eye sockets were about to split open.

Maybe Ye Wan just didn’t want this child to experience this merciless world
as soon as he’s born, so he made the decision for him and returned to
heaven with his precious baby.
A piece of photograph fell out from Ye Wan’s pocket, facing up as it landed
by Lu Shangjin’s hand.

The two youths in the photo had their arms around each other’s shoulders;
Yan Yi pouted his lips and held his little ears, Lu Shangjin’s head was tilted
as he smiled at him.

It turned out that after taking the photo for them, Ye Wan had kept one for
himself, keeping it until now. The photo was extremely worn from years of
touching and reminiscing; how much gentleness from desperation and
hopelessness was hidden behind such a thin piece of photograph?

Lu Shangjin stared at the photo, looking at Yan Yi’s smiling face for a long
time, his heart aching.

He reached out and picked up the photo, but then he heard rapid footsteps in
the corridor. Immediately after, the door was suddenly pushed open and Lu
Lin rushed in.

“You can die too!” Lu Shangjin snatched the gun from Ye Wan’s hand,
firing between Lu Lin’s eyebrows without hesitation.

A loud bang rang out.

Lu Shangjin’s left shoulder was shot. He was thrown out by the violent
shock and hit against the wall. A muffled groan spilled between his gritted
teeth as he clutched onto his shoulder gurging with blood.

Lu Lin held the gun, the muzzle still emitting a wisp of white smoke. Under
the gold-framed glasses were eyes full of sadness.

“Xiao Jin, you surprisingly fired at me.”

Lu Shangjin looked at the gun in his own hand in utter disbelief, panting in
pain. He withdrew the magazine; not a single bullet was left inside——it
was definitely full when he came here.

He looked back down at Ye Wan on the floor, and saw that there were
several unloaded bullets in his hand.
“Why!” Lu Shangjin roared hysterically at the cold corpse on the ground,
“Why did you still protect him when he drove you to death! Dad! Why!
Why on earth did you still want to save him! He…is a heartless scumbag,
it’s not worth it.”

His gaze wavered to the photo once again, looking at the little rabbit’s
lovely smile.

“I’m…I’m one too.” He murmured as he leaned against the wall and slowly
slid to the ground, “I’m one too.”

He still grew into the exact person he despised the most; failing to live up to
love, turning a blind eye and being ignorant.

Lu Lin walked slowly to Ye Wan’s body and kneeled on one knee. He

leaned over and picked Ye Wan up, whispering in his ear, “Wan Wan, I love
you.”

No recording device would be able to duplicate the unbounded affection in

this sentence.

The voice-activated lock on Ye Wan’s neck made a sound, then it dropped

onto the ground.

Lu Shangjin held his shoulder that was still bleeding, his face pale. He said
to Lu Lin with bitter resentment, “You’re disgusting, you’re unworthy of
saying that to my dad.”

Lu Lin didn’t care. He let Ye Wan’s pale cheek lean against his own
shoulder and kissed his eyes, then left the room without a word.

He didn’t know which year this password was set.

And he didn’t know how long Ye Wan had waited until he hopelessly
realized that he could never wait for Lu Lin to open this lock at all.

The password was still there, but the love was gone.

——
At wits’ end, Lu Shangjin walked on the gravel path, completely dazed. The
car was parked a kilometer away from the Lu mansion to avoid disturbing
Lu Lin. Now, he could only clutch onto the bullet wound on his shoulder as
he headed to the parking place.

He was untouchable when he was in good condition. But right now, endless
loneliness and dread entered his body through the bleeding bullet hole,
clamouring to feed on his heart. He was like a traveller sinking into a
swamp. God knows where the little rabbit who was once willing to do
whatever it takes to pull him out of hell had gone.

They once shared the warmth in each other as they suffered to live in the
harsh laws of survival. Later, Lu Shangjin wrapped his heart tightly in a
layer of barbed armour, completely isolating the innocent Yan Yi.

Everyday, the little rabbit would hop over and knock on his heart, asking
“are you there?”, but would be covered in cuts and bruises by the stabbing
of his thorns. Enduring the pain, he would say in grievance, “I’ll ask again
tomorrow then.”

Lu Shangjin covered his heart, suddenly feeling pricks of pain. He had

always thought that heartache was an abstract concept, turns out it really did
hurt.

He sat in his car, holding a cigarette in his mouth but didn’t light it for a
long time, then hysterically threw the cigarette and lighter out the window
before hitting the steering wheel hard.

When he was young, he saw neatly arranged shiny military medals in Ye

Wan’s drawer. This A3 chameleon omega was once a legend in the special
military force. Back then, even Bi Ruijing was just Ye Wan’s team member.

The once elite combat fighter was imprisoned in the basement to become a
breeding machine. As the only son of the peregrine falcon Lu family, Lu
Shangjin was admired and looked up to by countless people, but he was just
a poisonous insect raised by drinking the blood of his brothers and sisters.
In Lu Lin’s eyes, he was an experimental subject that was “just passable,
but could be substituted for another outstanding one at any time”.
Lu Shangjin walked aimlessly around and around the road. He fished out
his phone and dialed Yan Yi’s number.

He dialed more than ten times in a row, but it would go to voicemail every
time. He grabbed his hair roughly; it seemed like the little rabbit who used
to let Lu Shangjin torment him wantonly was no longer waiting for him.

Where is Yan Yi, why can’t I track his location?

Will he be in danger?

Until just then, he was certain that Yan Yi would run back and beg him to
open the door.

Accustomed to Yan Yi’s powerful strength, he even threw Yan Yi out of the
house without a care when his glands were dormant. It was only until an A3
chameleon became stiff and cold and turned into a corpse in front of him,
that he realized nobody could be invincible against immortality.

He never wanted Yan Yi to die.

——

The car stopped below Bi Ruijing’s house.

The door knocked in the middle of the night.

Who knew that the person inside hadn’t slept, and they opened the door at
the second knock.

Bi Ruijing wore a set of home clothes and a pair of fuzzy giraffe slippers.
His right hand was holding a bottle of milk while his left held an omega
baby boy who might not even be a full month old. He tested the temperature
of the milk bottle against his face as he stared blankly at Lu Shangjin
standing at the door, seeming to show up from being in a difficult position
and covered in blood.

The next minute, Bi Ruijing took out a gun from the pocket of his apron
and dragged Lu Shangjin into the house, then pointed warily at the door.
“Rui ge, it’s just me.” Lu Shangjin covered the injury on his shoulder and
sat on the corner of the sofa in exhaustion, his voice hoarse.

“Shh, Xiao Meng is upstairs, he just fell asleep.” Bi Ruijing breathed a sigh
of relief and gently pushed the door closed. Soon after, the sound of slippers
shuffling on the ground came from the second floor. An omega came out
from the room, rubbing his eyes sleepily as he held the wooden handrail
down to the first floor to have a look.

The tips of his light chestnut hair were curled cutely, his eyes big and
round. He was young, tender like a budding cherry blossom. Standing next
to Bi Ruijing, it made this thirty-two year old president Bi look like an old
man.

The omega on the second floor quickly went downstairs in his nightgown
and greeted Lu Shangjin. He hadn’t met Lu Shangjin too many times, so he
barely recognized him, “I’ll get you all a cup of tea.”

Bi Ruijing glanced apologetically at the omega who had been woken up.
The omega rubbed his eyes as he carried the baby away and went into the
dining room.

“My dad…” Lu Shangjin pondered over whether to say it. How should he
bring up his father who had already died for many years in the public eye to
Bi Ruijing?

“Your dad?” Bi Ruijing lit a cigarette and lifted an eyebrow as he looked at

Lu Shangjin, “Lu Lin? Ai, who shot your shoulder? Go wash it and wrap it
up. Is the bullet inside? There’s a first-aid kit on the towel rack.”

Ye Wan was once Bi Ruijing’s team captain. He had the right to know the
truth of his passing.

The omega’s dissatisfied shout came from the dining room, “Bi Ruijing, put
out the cigarette! The baby’s crying from your smoke.”

“He can cry from the smoke so far away?” Bi Ruijing turned back and
retorted, but still stubbed out his cigarette with a bitter smile and put it away
under the tea table, then gave Lu Shangjin a lazy smile, “Naughty child,
calling me by my name disrespectfully.”

His smile carried a doting expression that was evident in his eyes.

When the words left his mouth, Lu Shangjin didn’t say a word. Some
sufferings should be borne alone, don’t bring trouble for others.

The omega served two cups of tea and handed one to Lu Shangjin. Bi
Ruijing looked at him eagerly, but the omega ignored him, placing the other
cup of tea on the table. He took away the plate and left.

An elegant fragrance wafted from his body; a butterfly omega whose gland
cells have awakened, a very good match with Bi Ruijing, who was an
arrowhead poisonous plant alpha.

“Ai,” Bi Ruijing brought the tea over by himself and held it in his hand,
whispering helplessly to Lu Shangjin, “He blamed me for losing my ring
and he’s so angry that he can’t be bothered to acknowledge me until now.
He doesn’t even want to order a new one, hei, little drama queen.”

Lu Shangjin took a sip of his tea, the hot water travelling along his ice-cold
throat into his stomach, finally bringing in some warmth into his body.

“Help me find Yan Yi. I’ll alert Lu Lin if I move to check from here,” Lu
Shangjin fell into a long silence as he looked at his ring finger on his left
hand. He hadn’t worn a ring on this finger for a long time, even the white
mark left from taking it off had disappeared, but Yan Yi had never taken his
off.

Maybe this was something very important, signifying ownership, family

and security.

“Go and find the ring,” Lu Shangjin said.

Bi Ruijing watched him baffedly.

“Otherwise he’d never forgive you.”

 Chap 20

The sunlight passed through the glass and spilled onto Yan Yi’s sleeping
face. Yan Yi turned over, crawling up and sat kneeling with his eyes closed.
The fluffy rabbit tail squeezed out from lying flat under the thin woollen
sweater after waking up for a while.

The numb feeling of the glands at the back of his neck had slightly faded;
his body wasn’t as weak and frail as it had been for the past few days. It
should probably recover back to the J1 differentiation level, and it would
take another month for it to fully recover to its original state.

The rose stem on the windowsill had turned soggy from the water. He had
already been living in this small inn for a week. He said he would go to the
hospital during this time, but he got lazy day by day. However, he didn’t
feel much discomfort now, only his combat strength was a little weak. It’s
fine; rabbits should be a little delicate to be more worthy of alphas’ pity.

Yan Yi lifted his thin woollen sweater and looked at his little belly. It didn’t
get any bigger than a small arch, only flattening out his abdominal muscles,
and any change wasn’t noticeable under his clothes.

“Good baby,” Yan Yi gently touched his stomach and fantasized about what
kind of baby he would have after ten months of pregnancy.

Not considering the type of variation awakening, there were only five
possibilities of offspring combination from a peregrine falcon and a rabbit;
peregrine falcon alpha, peregrine falcon beta, peregrine falcon omega, lop-
eared rabbit omega and lop-eared rabbit beta, as the lop-eared rabbit race
didn’t have alphas.
If a lop-eared rabbit was the mother, the probability of giving birth to a little
bunny would be higher than that of a peregrine falcon.

“Definitely a very good and very cute little bunny omega,” Yan Yi hugged
his lower abdomen and curled up into the quilt, gently caressing it. He
pillowed his hands and murmured, “Come out quickly and accompany
daddy…daddy knows everything. When you grow up in the future, daddy
will find you an alpha who loves you the most, one who will send you
flowers, hug you when it’s cold, and play the piano and sing for you, one
who will like only you.”

Yan Yi tried his best to portray a sense of happiness from his heart.

Gradually, his smile faded. He whispered, “Forget it, daddy has bad
eyesight, you should just find one yourself. If you can’t find one, you can
just live with daddy, don’t do yourself wrong.”

“Be born quickly and talk to daddy,” Yan Yi gently caressed the baby bunny
in his belly.

Xia Jingtian was driven out by Yan Yi to take the exam in school. No matter
how many times he changed his number to call during this period of time,
Yan Yi refused.

His compatibility level with Xia Jingtian was normally very high, and it
would indeed be relaxing to stay together with that little lion. But he
couldn’t carry someone else’s baby and pursue happiness with that little
lion, it wouldn’t be fair to that child. As a good kid, he always deserved
better—

Furthermore, for the few days that Xia Jingtian had stayed with him, Xia
Jingtian’s QQ Wechat activity had never stopped; if it wasn’t the senior
brothers and sisters chatting about business, it was comments from his good
friends, “You fucked? Kitty, you’re really good at sucking.”

That kid must be chased after by thousands of people at school. Although

Yan Yi didn’t deliberately look into it, he could more or less guess Xia
Jingtian’s identity through the phone calls he had from time to time during
these few days. The second young master of the Xia family of Hong Ye had
good family background and appearance, his glandular type was even the
ample and respectable M2 mountain lion, it didn’t make sense to hang
around a little rabbit.

Carrying a little bunny, Yan Yi couldn’t get into the door of the Xia
residence no matter how. It was also because Xia Jingtian had dug out the
omega and caused a rift between the Lu and Xia families; it’d be fine, but
still unnecessary.

His feelings from being in love with Lu Shangjin from 2009 until now had
already become ash on a stove, lingering on with its last breath. He was so
tired that his whole heart was filled with small wounds. If more were
accumulated, he would need an opening to pour out all the negative energy.
It would be unfair to Xia Jingtian, who was still a blank piece of paper, to
mend these small wounds once he falls in love.

If Xia Jingtian was an arsonist of the romantic hearts who was cruel beyond
redemption, Yan Yi would still be able to accept him a little more calmly.
Who wouldn’t want an alpha who had a high compatibility with you?

He fell into bed and scrolled through Yuan Mi’s weibo. The reposts and
comments had suddenly reduced a lot, who knew if something happened
with Lu Shangjin’s business operation on that side.

There was no activity only on the 18th, and Yan Yi thought about the day he
called Lu Shangjin, which was just on that day. He probably went on
another island and brought an omega on a yacht for vacation.

“What’s so good about that,” Yan Yi went into a video streaming app and
contributed one view to Yuan Mi.

The unexpected plot was not bad. The alpha playing the prince was quite
likeable. He repeatedly called out to Yuan Mi who was playing a shadow
guard and sitting on a beam, tossing him about.

“So It’s a pleasurable novel1,” Yan Yi watched with great interest.

The series had only been updated to episode seven and VIP membership
was needed to watch further. It’s almost the part where Yuan Mi suffers a
beating, and Yan Yi didn’t want to drop this drama.

Suddenly, a text message popped up on the top corner of his phone. He’d
never seen the number before and thought it was Xia Jingtian again.
However, the message only had three words, “Come home quickly.”

It’s Lu Shangjin.

Yan Yi fell into a daze as he held his phone.

If he had received this text that day on the 18th, he really would’ve been
very happy.

Why was Lu Shangjin’s rhythm always half a beat slower than his? Was
this the so-called incompatibility?

After thinking for a long moment, he still sent a reply, “Xiansheng, I’ve
resigned.”

Instead of replying, the other party called directly.

Yan Yi sighed and answered the call.

Lu Shangjin’s voice wasn’t as deep and sexy as he’d imagined anymore. It

was a little dry and hoarse, as though he hadn’t drank water for a few days,
rough enough to prick his ears.

“Yan Yi, I’ll wait for you at home.” Lu Shangjin’s tone was exhausted, his
voice thick with smoke.

“I have resigned, xiansheng.” Yan Yi repeated.

He didn’t know what Lu Shangjin was tired about, he’d probably been
excessively indulgent last night. Yan Yi could also guess the reason why he
received this call: He wanted to drink a fresh cup of milk after waking up in
the morning, but the little rabbit who could serve it to him wasn’t around.
Lu Shangjin didn’t flare up, but he tried his best to soften his tone, “Don’t
speak from anger.”

“What.” It seemed like Yan Yi heard a joke that caused no waves in the
heart but he should laugh politely out of emotion and reason.

Yan Yi’s eyes turned sluggish as he asked him in a murmur, “You should
hire another outstanding butler, it’s best if the compatibility fit is higher,
someone who‘d wear an apron and let you drag them over for you to fuck
comfortably.”

“Nonsense,” Lu Shangjin’s tone suddenly turned heavy. Realizing that he

was too stern, he said patiently, “Come back first then I’ll explain, don’t act
pretentiously.”

“I’m acting?” Yan Yi’s eyes widened, his rabbit ears trembling.

Lu Shangjin rubbed the bridge of his nose, “I’m acting, I’m acting, be good,
hurry and come back.”

Yan Yi gritted his teeth and hung up.

He was so angry that his entire body tensed up, both his legs were shaking.
He was thrown out of the house for so many days while he was pregnant
and Lu Shangjin didn’t bother to care. It turned out that in his eyes, Yan Yi
was acting pretentious like the bunch of omegas who sold their asses for
money.

He lazed in bed for a while, then blacklisted Lu Shangjin’s new number as

well. He got up to pack his things and checked out of the room before
twelve o’clock.

He had been thrown out so hastily, so he didn’t have much luggage and
money. He also didn’t want to be caught by Lu Shangjin and go back.

In fact, there were still a lot of things he wanted to take from the villa. It
wouldn’t hurt to pick them up when Lu Shangjin goes on a business trip.
Yan Yi touched his stomach. He stood in front of the mirror to repeatedly
make sure that he didn’t look like a pregnant omega, only then did he leave
the inn.

“Let’s go, daddy’s going to make money for your milk powder.” Yan Yi
whispered encouragingly to the baby in his belly. Tainted with Xia
Jingtian’s pheromones that had yet to completely fade, he had to find a
place where Lu Shangjin couldn’t locate him.

——

Lu Shangjin sat on the bench in the corridor of the hospital, changed into
surgical clothes. The bullet wound on his left shoulder had been wrapped up
with gauze. The bottle of antibiotics stuck into the back of his hand was still
dripping slowly.

The smell of disinfectant in the corridor filled his nose. His phone screen
showed the end of a call, returning to his wallpaper on its own lonesome.

He felt around for his cigarette box, but discovered that it was empty, so he
threw it aside irritably.

This was the Lu family’s private hospital, abundant with the world’s
cutting-edge medical equipment. The lights in the ICU were still on; Lu Lin
and Ye Wan were still inside. Unfortunately, the one who should’ve died
was still alive, and the one Lu Shangjin was sentimentally attached to had
lost his breath.

The grief that he should feel didn’t come as he’d expected it to. Lu Shangjin
only sighed for Ye Wan.

This was also Yan Yi’s first time hanging up the phone on him.

Lu Shangjin was so surprised that he didn’t know what to think for a long
time.

Whether it was when they were dating or after breaking up, Yan Yi would
always pick up his phone call at the first second and would be passionately
reluctant to hang up the phone and end the call.

He never would’ve thought that Yan Yi would blacklist his number at all.
He only thought about changing his number to try to call when Bi Ruijing
reminded him about it.

The lights in the operating room suddenly changed. Lu Lin walked out first,
expressionlessly following Ye Wan covered with a white cloth into the
morgue.

The doctor who came out later sped to the elevator with the baby in the
incubator.

Lu Shangjin was stunned. He ripped out the IV needle from his hand and
hurried over.

He grabbed a nurse who was rushing with him, “The baby, is the baby still
alive?”

The nurse nodded hurriedly, “Yes, young master Lu, it’s a little alpha, we’re
now going to test his differentiative potential.”

Lu Shangjin’s eyes sank as he ran quickly down the passageway towards

the differentiation laboratory upstairs. Seeing that Ye Wan’s baby was sent
into the differentiation laboratory, Lu Shangjin dismantled the fresh air
system and crawled into the inspection room through the vents.

There was only one differentiation laboratorian in the lab. As he was about
to prepare for the disinfection test, the cold muzzle of a gun was pressed
against the back of his head.

The differentiation laboratorian was an ordinary omega, having no power of

resistance at all in the face of M2 alphas. Shivering, he raised his hands, “Y-
young master Lu…”

Lu Shangjin didn’t say a word as he bent down to show the laboratorian a

video.
In the video, Lu Lin’s younger brother, Lu Jue, was shot in the head behind
the gambling table. It was in extremely high definition, the exploded brain
splattered on the lens. The laboratorian was so frightened that his face
turned pale and he couldn’t help but shut his eyes.

“This news seemed to not have spread yet,” Lu Shangjin bent over to lean
against the table, whispering in the omega’s ear, “I was the one who shot
the gun.”

The omega’s fingertips trembled, almost tearing up. He covered his ears and
sobbed, “Young master Lu, I don’t know anything,… please let me go…”

“I’ll give you a chance, are you loyal to Lu Lin or do you choose me?” Lu
Shangjin moved the ice-cold muzzle of the gun to rub the glands under the
tip of the omega’s hair, “”You should be clear who has a hold of the future
of the Lu family. Don’t ever stand in the wrong line before I cause a
bloodbath in the peregrine falcon Lu family name.”

“Yes, yes…I’ll listen to you completely, young master Lu…” The omega’s
voice was like a mosquito, choking with sobs as he ensured him.

“Issue a checklist to say that the baby has no differentiative potential. Find a
baby that passed recently to replace him in the cremation.”

“Then send this baby to An Fei Ya hospital, let Xia Pingtian get someone to
look after him.”

“Yes, yes… I’ll maintain secrecy… young master Lu.”

——

Yan Yi bought a ticket for a long-distance bus ride which followed along
the main road towards the south. He took three trains, and after bumping
around for two days, he arrived in the small town of Nan Qi.

There was a bar street he was familiar with in Nan Qi. The number of
friends he had could be counted on one hand. He said they’re friends, but
they’re one-sided.
Red-painted wooden fences hung on top of an irregular grey brick wall. The
purple chrysanthemums were just in full bloom, and the fence was covered
with postcards left by lovers.

The style of the entire street of bars were similar, filled with their respective
literature and art styles. The walls were hung with hydrangea or camellias,
some planted with saffron roots. Occasionally, there would be two
additional tattoo shops, which would only have business in the evening. The
nightlife here was quite lively.

Yan Yi touched the tip of his hair that hadn’t had a cut in a long time. He
bought a rubber band from one of the nearby shops, gathered up his light-
grey hair and tugged it into a little braid on the back of his head, then
entered this bar called “Ruins”.

The lights in the bar were dim. There were only several irregular wooden
tables coated with gloss. It had completely no business at all. Only an alpha
in his twenties whose style was a mix of punk and hip-hop was singing
selflessly with a guitar.

Once the alpha heard business coming in, he shook his hair and lifted his
face, pretending to be in grief. His black eyes shone, appearing roguishly
handsome.

“Are you hiring bartenders here?” Yan Yi hugged his arms as he gently
rubbed them, feeling a little cold.

The alpha frowned and examined him up and down, “Hiring is one thing,
but we’re only hiring alphas, not weak chickens.”

So it’s just a one-sided relationship. It looked like he didn’t recognize Yan

Yi anymore.

Yan Yi smiled warmly, “Why does a bartender have to be an alpha?”

The alpha raised his chin, “Public security has been messy recently, there’s
always someone who would cause trouble and smash the whole shop, so I
have to hire an alpha who can fight.”
Supporting the counter with his hand, Yan Yi sat lightly on the bar stool and
watched him with interest, “Aren’t you an alpha?”

He was a husky alpha.

“I…” The alpha pursed his lips, “Whenever I see someone smash the
shop… I honestly want to smash it together with them…”

This husky alpha with the J1 differentiative ability:

‘Violent demolition’.

His phone vibrated again. Yan Yi looked down and saw that Lu Shangjin
had changed his number again and sent a text message.

“Give me the address, I’ll go pick you up.”

The corners of Yan Yi’s mouth tilted as he gently smoothed out his tied-up
light-grey hair. Both his feet were stepping on the beam of the high stool.
The expression in his eyes was vexed as he stared dazedly at the screen.

Lu Shangjin was willing to change his number to contact him, even wanting
to come and pick him up. During the time when they were still passionately
in love, Lu Shangjin wasn’t even this patient in coaxing him.

“What have you done.” Yan Yi lowered his head, his hair covering his eyes
as his fingers trembled while holding the screen. His rosy lips were slightly
opened, and his little white teeth bit his lips until blood came out.

“I’m at the bar where we once stayed before.”

Such a short sentence remained in the editing column for three minutes,
only then did he make up his mind to send it.

After a brief silence, Lu Shangjin replied, “We used to stay at many bars
before, which one?”

The slightly bright light in Yan Yi’s eyes had already been dimmed out. He
lowered his head and looked at the ring finger on his right hand.

Among the various colourful postcards, Yan Yi could still see the faded
postcard of a landscape with just a glance.
A line of words was written on the postcard with the markings of an
ordinary ball-point pen, but it was very sharp and beautiful:

Yan Yan, I love you until my last breath.

The words were unscrupulous, but teenagers at that youthful age would
accept these things happily.

At that time, they had finally come out of Southeast Asia with a slim chance
of survival. On the windowsill of the attic in this bar called “Ruins”, two
teenagers full of youthful vigour had made the most heartfelt contented love
in their lives.

Back then, the ring was still looped around the ring finger, but their intimate
feelings had already declined unbearably, just like the surface of the ring
that was no longer shining, covered with scars.

That night, Yan Yi had achieved a promise. He had achieved the gentle and
strong symbolic possession of a mark. He had achieved the ring that he
refused to remove until this day. And he had achieved the love that he never
thought he would lose.

Like a ceremony, solemn yet romantic.

But it still became the collapsed reflection in the water, unable to grasp onto
as it broke into clean fragments.

In fact, Yan Yi knew that he wasn’t expecting Lu Shangjin to guess which

bar he was thinking about, just like how he obviously knew that Lu
Shangjin wouldn’t have guessed that he wanted to listen to him play the
piano just once.

He just wanted to confirm whether he was able to leave traces in Lu

Shangjin’s heart at all after reliving the cherished scenes again and again in
his dreams.

“If you forget then so be it, just forget about me too.” Yan Yi replied.
“Are you angry? You wouldn’t be like this before, don’t lose your temper.”
Lu Shangjin seemed to be very free today as he replied to every text really
quickly.

Yan Yi clutched his phone, then weakly loosened his grip.

He wouldn’t be like this before? Now, he no longer expected to be picked

up and pieced together after being broken so many times. No matter how
careful he was pieced together, the broken edges couldn’t be amended and
glued back.

How nice would it be if Lu Shangjin had said these words earlier.

Yan Yi grasped the ring on his ring finger, wanting to pull it out and throw
it away, but he couldn’t do it.

Forget it. It’s quite expensive.

Yan Yi didn’t blacklist Lu Shangjin again. What a fucking great young

master. It’s not easy for him to be willing to condescend to nobility and say
such flattering words.

Holding the guitar by the side, the husky alpha watched him fall into a daze;
Yan Yi’s eyes were desolate and he occasionally hugged his arms from the
gust of cold wind. It’s inevitable to avoid taking pity on the omega,
“Alright, alright, you look quite pitiful. Let me see you mix a drink, if it’s
good, I’ll take you.”

Yan Yi came back to his senses, then perfectly put away the sadness in his
eyes. After turning around to the bar counter, he skillfully simmered a
handful of cranberries into chilled soup, swept up a cup holder with his left
hand, picked up four tall glasses between his fingers and lined them up on
the bar with speed. He turned over his hand and took a bottle of tequila,
sandwiching it between his index and middle finger, then held the bottle
against the back of his hand.

Every time the liquor was poured out of the english-style cocktail shaker,
just half a glass would be filled. The bright red cranberries and vapour from
the ice dotted along the rim of the glass, then resetting in the next glass.

The liquor levels of the four glasses lined up were evenly matched. Whether
it was the colour translucency or the flavour, they were just right.

Drawn to Yan Yi’s gentlemanly temperament, the husky alpha picked up his
guitar and sat on the bar counter. He first looked at the liquor that was
prepared one by one and compared its colours, then took a glass to taste,
“Yo, impressive. What is this called?”

Yan Yi leaned over, propping himself on the bar with one hand supporting
his cheek. His right wrist turned over and a rose was suddenly caught
between his fingers.

He stuck the rose into the wine glass, his eyes dropped, “Christmas rose.”

Recollecting love.

The husky alpha blew a long whistle as he measured up the omega in front
of him seriously, “What’s your name?”

Yan Yi answered indifferently.

The husky alpha touched his chin and asked, “What else can you do?”

Yan Yi thought for a while, “There’s nothing I don’t know.”

The husky alpha smiled cheekily, “You’re an omega, can you fight?”

Yan Yi pondered over it for a moment, “I used to fight in the past.”

“Good!” The husky slapped the counter and bumped his fist with Yan Yi’s,
“Gu Wei. Call me boss.”

Holding a cup of hot coffee, Yan Yi walked around up and down the bar
with Gu Wei. Having recruited a new employee, Gu Wei was clearly a little
excited. He vented about how the previous employee was unbearable, and
complained about how the public security was too poor recently. Saying
this, he became so angry that he caused the wooden stairs to make “ge-ge”
noises as he stepped on them.

Yan Yi looked at him quietly with his eyes curved and occasionally took a
sip of the steaming coffee.

It’s very nice to have a friend to talk to.

There was an outdoor rooftop garden on the second floor. Gu Wei nestled
onto the swing with his guitar and sang a song to the new employee.

“I’ve been writing this song for a long time but I couldn’t finish it every
time. When I don’t write songs, I never had business. Whenever I have
inspiration, ai, those crowds of tourists would squeeze in for a drink.
Trouble would come through the door continuously from time to time. I’d
be more at ease when you’re here to take care of this shop in the future.”

“Why don’t you run the shop seriously?”

“I’m not short of money, I just like it here.” Gu Wei plucked a guitar string,
emitting a clamorous noise, the sound of strings were irregular yet made
one have a tranquil state of mind.

His voice was unique; coarse and wild yet artistically free and airy.

With one leg hanging, Yan Yi casually sat on the railing, his finger
unconsciously tracing the ring on his ring finger.

Gu Wei asked curiously, “You’re married? And your lover is willing to let
you come out to work?”

Yan Yi smiled, “My lover is okay with everything. He just doesn’t like me,
of course he’s willing.”

Gu Wei couldn’t understand. Knitting his brows, he waited for Yan Yi to

elaborate. Seeing that he didn’t want to say more, he subconsciously
followed up, “Where’s your house?”

Yan Yi tried his best to think about it for a long time.

This question seemed to have baffled him. He looked at the sun setting
down the alleyway, wanting to light a cigarette, but then remembered that
he’s pregnant with a baby and had already thrown the cigarette box away
long ago.

“I…don’t know.”

It seems like, I’ve always been wandering around.

The reason for choosing this bar on such a huge map was because there was
a twenty-year-old Lu Shangjin in this bar who could accompany him for the
rest of his life.

——

A new bartender came into the bar “Ruins”. The thin swallowtail vest drew
out the outline of his slender waist and back. The occasional radiance of
spring that spilled from the bow tie when he bent over was all gathered
together within the boundary of suppressed desire.

Yan Yi stood behind the bar counter as he quietly wiped the glass cup in his
hand. Business was good at night and the shop was very crowded.

An alpha was sitting in front of the bar counter and ordered two glasses of
whiskey. He pushed one glass to Yan Yi, raising an eyebrow at him as he
released courting pheromones, “Hey, baobei.”

Yan Yi leaned back behind the bar counter. With fingers hooked, he
loosened the bow tie, then crossed his pair of long legs that were wrapped
under the thin and slender trousers. He took a cup of juice for himself and
smiled faintly towards the alpha, “Apologies, excuse me.”

He pushed open the low door of the bar counter and hurried up to the attic.

His body wrapped under the work uniform was burning with heat. Yan Yi
gripped the sink and flushed his face with cold water. Cold sweat was still
dripping down his body uncontrollably.

He was in heat.
It was provoked by the pheromones of different alphas. The traces of
pheromones left by people coming in and out of the bar could indeed
obstruct Lu Shangjin’s ability to track and locate him. But for omegas in
heat, this place was equivalent to a torturous hell.

Every single cell in his body was clamouring to crush his blood vessels.
Yan Yi knelt down on the floor and flipped open his sleeve, then injected a
tube of highly concentrated inhibitor into his body along the artery.

“Hurts.” Yan Yi knelt by the bed, hands gripping the sheets, like having a
drug addiction without a medicinal cure, desiring to be inserted and marked.
Only the comfort of an alpha’s strong and overbearing pheromones could
relieve the pain of his blood vessels almost bursting.

Increasing the concentration of inhibitors was useless. His arm was already
covered in blue and purple needle holes, some old and some new. Being
forced to rely on inhibitors to endure his heat for the past few years sent a
final warning to Yan Yi through a frightening resistance.

Why not randomly find an alpha to have sex with? He really didn’t know
what he had been so persistent on these past few years. Idiot rabbit, only
knowing how to be moved1 by himself.

He had the habit of biting his ring when he was in the most pain.

As his bones were about to break from pain, his phone rang as if it was
persistently urging him. Gu Wei’s voice sounded urgent on the phone,
“Quick! Come down quickly! Several J1 alphas just came in! I can’t handle
it!”

“It had to be now…” With a dreadfully pale face caused by injecting

excessive inhibitors, Yan Yi climbed up, out of breath as he struggled, “…
that they come.”

 Chap 22

Yan Yi took a breath and used all his strength to stand up. He picked up an
iron bat from behind the door and dragged it on the ground as he climbed
down the wooden stairs one step at a time.

The first thing he saw downstairs was Gu Wei stepping on a stool with half
a broken sharp bottle of wine in his right hand. He pointed the sharp edges
towards the door, his breaths short as he cursed severely, “Causing trouble
every month, are we not doing business anymore?”

There were still small groups of customers in the shop who were shrinking
behind the round tables that were toppled over, trembling as they hid.
However, they were carried out one by one to be interrogated by the alphas
who wore leather jackets.

They were led by a J1 differentiated locust alpha with a golden-dyed

mohawk.

The locust alpha picked up a detection needle and lifted up the hiding
customers one by one, scanning everyone’s glands before tossing them
aside like they were garbage.

“Go. Search upstairs.” The locust alpha waved his hand and the five J1
differentiated alphas followed up the wooden stairs.

“Hey, you can’t just run up there.” Gu Wei was afraid that it would be
dangerous for Yan Yi alone upstairs. He reached out and grabbed the locust
alpha’s arm, instantly releasing oppressive pheromones in that moment
while letting out his J1 differentiative ability at the same time.

Once the husky alpha’s J1 differentiative ability was released, any object
that came into contact with his fingers would turn into several broken
pieces in an instant.

The locust alpha’s sleeves made a sound of leather tearing apart. He turned
around and gouged Gu Wei out with his eyes, withdrawing his hand in time
and then threw a swift and forceful leg out at Gu Wei.

Gu Wei subconsciously warded it off. The gland cells’ awakened biological

characteristics of a locust gave the owner the attribute of developed hind
legs. No one could avoid their leg-sweep. Gu Wei abruptly hit the wall. He
put his hand on the high stool in a hurry, and the high stool instantly turned
into pieces.

The locust alpha turned and carefully looked Gu Wei up and down,
scorning, “A J1 differentiated puppy dares to bark at us?”

Gu Wei held his lower abdomen; he was after all a civilian. The leg that just
swept across was like a steel bar whipping his stomach, the pain felt as
though his spleen and lungs were broken into several pieces. He gritted his
teeth weakly and glared at him, “What do you guys want to do?”

The locust alpha sneered, “Is there anyone with a high-grade gland
upstairs?”

The ones who came to cause trouble were not ordinary hooligans.

Yan Yi was quietly observing on the second floor. He took two steps back
and leaned sideways to hide in front of a dressing mirror, pressing onto his
violently fluctuating heart and slowing down his breaths.

“Gland hunters…” Yan Yi gripped the iron bat, gently resting it on the side.
He undid his cuffs and folded the white cuffs up to his elbows. He then tore
two strips of cloth from the white bedsheet, wrapping them separately
around his left and right hands as bone-protection wrist covers.

“Uhh.” All the blood in his body was colliding restlessly. Yan Yi clutched
his heart in pain and squatted down, kneeling on the ground as sweat
poured out like raindrops. His glands were still in a semi-dormant state; it
had now only been restored to the J1 level.
But to handle a few bugs, it’s enough.

The locust alpha led the other five alphas to search upstairs. Just as they
passed seven or eight steps, a dark shadow suddenly flashed.

Yan Yi didn’t have time to change his bartending uniform. Supporting the
wooden rail with his bandaged hand, he leaped forward, the tip of his toe
stepped on the wall to leverage his fast dive down as he spun around and
did a flying kick. Along with the exploding sawdust of the wooden rails that
flew in all directions, several alphas were suddenly forced down to the first
floor.

At the same time, oppressive pheromones were released, and a soft milky
fragrance spread around. The second Yan Yi landed on the ground, he
activated the J1 differentiative ability “high-speed bounce”.

“Omega?” The locust alpha was first stunned, then instantly looked down at
the detection needle in his hand. The pheromone differentiation index in the
air indicated it was J1.

“Quick! Catch him! A J1 omega! Hurry hurry hurry!” The locust alpha’s
face turned red from excitement, staring at Yan Yi like a starving locust
eyeing rice, waiting for an opportunity to devour this omega to the bone.

J1 differentiated omegas were more rare than alphas of the same grade.
There were very few differentiated omegas itself, so this could influence the
gene mutation ability of future omega offsprings at a higher demand. It was
glant hunters’ most favourite prey.

At the command of the locust alpha, five pistols were aimed at Yan Yi. Yan
Yi knew they wouldn’t dare to shoot him, so he jumped behind the locust
alpha in an instant. With one hand, he gripped the alpha’s throat from
behind, his legs wrapping tightly around the alpha’s waist.

There was a disparity between the figure of alphas and omegas. Even at the
same grade, it was difficult for omegas to subdue alphas.
Yan Yi turned over and sat on the locust alpha’s neck, twisting his body
hard, and only the series of resounding bones cracking could be heard. With
his neck dislocated, the locust alpha screamed as he fell to the ground.

“Open fire! Destroy him! Don’t harm the glands like you’re selling away
money!” The locust alpha howled in hysterics, but Yan Yi stepped on his
mouth.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Five bullets fired in succession, aimed at
Yan Yi’s leg. As long as the omega was incapacitated, the price wouldn’t be
reduced too much if the gland was still intact.

Yan Yi turned downwards and leaped up. The five bullets rubbed against
the waistband of his uniform and rapidly crossed underneath him.

Following the direction of the bullets, Yan Yi’s right hand made a circle,
then it spread open; five bullets were sandwiched between his fingers.

Before he landed on the ground, he flung his hand out and shot them back.

There was blood in the bar. Five J1 alphas held onto their bleeding calves as
they rolled around on the ground.

“Um…Gu Wei…the inhibitor, give me two tubes of inhibitors…” Yan Yi

knelt on the floor, his glands were hit by the infinite stench of alpha
pheromones. It was so painful that he buried his head in his arms, his
fingers scratching against the wooden floor, emitting the tiniest cracking
sound.

“Die, die, are you dying or not!” Gu Wei was still carrying a table top and
smashing it onto the locust alpha, only coming back to his senses when he
heard Yan Yi’s weak cry for help. He fled to get a box of inhibitors and
patted Yan Yi’s back, “You can still fight even in your heat?”

He tried his best to release enough soothing pheromones, but their

compatibility fit was too low, maybe less than 65%. To Yan Yi, Gu Wei’s
soothing pheromones had very little effect on him.
But it was better than nothing.

Yan Yi’s face looked slightly better. With his state of mind in disorder, he
felt around for an inhibitor and bit open the plastic seal. As he was about to
pierce the needle into his arm, the tension outside the door suddenly became
forceful.

Yan Yi froze. His face instantly turned dignified as he stood up and quietly
gestured to Gu Wei, “Hide quickly.”

An extremely muscular, tall and burly alpha entered the bar. His bald head
was covered in blue tendons, a brand was shaved on the side of his scalp;
the three abbreviations of PBB, followed by a series of small serial numbers
000084.

PBB, the abbreviation of Pacific Bio-differentiaion Base.

“Someone from PBB…” Yan Yi moved back two steps and the tip of his
nose trembled slightly. Under his composed expression, his heart rate was
already surging.

“Hands off! Hands off!” Gu Wei stopped in front of Yan Yi. He could also
feel the imposing demeanour of the person who just arrived. Even if this
little rabbit was able to fight, being in heat consumed a considerable amount
of physical strength. Facing an opponent with such a grade would
practically be death.

The person who came was a rhinoceros alpha, with the gland type of M2
giant-horned rhinoceros.

The alpha looked straight ahead and grabbed Gu Wei’s neck, like it was as
easy as tossing a bottle of mineral water, then threw Gu Wei hard onto the
ground.

“…Ugh…” Gu Wei brutally hit the ground as he choked out a mouthful of

blood foam. All the bones in his body hurt so much that he was losing
consciousness.
His grade differentiation was an uncrossable strength. A J1 differentiated
person would not stand a chance against the M2 glands.

The rhinoceros alpha stepped over Gu Wei like a dead dog and approached
the lop-eared rabbit, who had nearly shrunk to the corner of the wall.

The blood in Yan Yi’s body was boiling hot and he couldn’t pay attention to
anything at all. When the rhinoceros alpha reached out to grab him, he
could only run away.

At the very second that he was about to initiate the high-speed bounce, the
air in front of him suddenly gathered to form a wall like solidified jam,
knocking Yan Yi back. Then, his ankles were tightened and almost crushed
by a large and strong hand.

Giant-horned rhinoceros J1 differentiative ability “Strength gain”.

Giant-horned rhinoceros M2 differentiative ability “Impeccable wall”.

The world spun before his eyes. Yan Yi could only curl up into a small ball
to protect the baby in his belly as he was thrown outside by his ankles.

Yan Yi released his strength sensitivity as he rolled on the ground several

times, trembling to protect the little life in his stomach. His cheek was
slightly scratched and blood dripped from his nose.

He wiped away the blood from his nose. Even the last bit of his strength
had been drained. He crawled up a few times to prop himself up, and had no
alternative but to collapse back on the ground.

The rhinoceros alpha flashed a satisfied smile and walked towards Yan Yi,
“A J1 lop-eared rabbit omega. This trip is not in vain, the harvest is
fruitful.”

“You’re a member of PBB…” Yan Yi lifted his head with difficulty, “After
defecting, you become a gland hunter…?”

The rhinoceros alpha touched the serial number on his shiny scalp: “So you
surprisingly know PBB, very knowledgeable.”
“Because I am one too…” Yan Yi breathed heavily as he endured the severe
pain spreading in his bones from his heat.

The rhinoceros alpha suddenly halted his steps.

There was a more powerful scent at the end of the bar street.

A tall and straight figure appeared on the street. The rhinoceros alpha
squinted. The person who came was a second-grade differentiated alpha. As
soon as he drew closer, he released the sole powerful pressure of an M2
alpha.

The opponent was filled with hostility.

——

Yan Yi felt himself being picked up and hooped in a pair of arms. The rich
aggressive scent abruptly intruded his nasal cavity. It was the familiar
fragrance of Narcissus flowers.

An excessive amount of soothing pheromones poured into his glands

through his nerve endings. It wasn’t exactly comfortable, but it finally
calmed every single cell in his body that was about to burst.

Lu Shangjin held the little rabbit in his arms with one hand while his right
hand held a cigarette. Leaning sideways, he let Yan Yi lean against the
hollow of his shoulder.

The ashes scattered in the wind. The burning sparks from the cigarette butt
fell at his feet and was crushed by Lu Shangjin. A stern chillness spread
across his eyes.

The rhinoceros alpha looked at the opponent with raised eyebrows, “This
lop-eared rabbit is my prey.”

Yan Yi unconsciously grasped onto Lu Shangjin’s collar, his face was so

pale that it made one’s heart ache.
Lu Shangjin opened his right hand and a tactical dagger slipped out from
his sleeve. He spun it several times in his palm and held it there. Slightly
lifting his eyelids, he looked at the rhinoceros alpha indifferently:

“Do you deserve it?”

 Chap 23

A Panamera slowed down and drove onto the ramp exit. A few odd cars
were seen travelling along the expressway by the light of the moon and
stars at three in the morning.

Xia Jingtian yawned as he drove. He handed a bottle of water to the thin

omega sitting in the passenger seat.

In a state of high tension, the omega was crouched in the passenger seat as
he gripped the seat belt tightly. A short and small hamster’s tail squeezed
out from under his hospital gown.

The hamster omega trembled as he took the bottle of water from Xia
Jingtian. He tried hard to use his strength to twist it open for a long time but
couldn’t open it, so he held the bottle of water weakly and looked down at
the tip of his toes.

“You have such little strength.” Xia Jingtian laughed. He took the bottle of
water back and clamped it with his forearm before screwing the cap open
with one hand, then gave it to the hamster omega.

The omega gratefully received it with both hands and explained quietly, “I
had an operation before and got an injection for glandular dormancy. I-I
don’t have much strength.”

Xia Jingtian had a disdainful look in his eyes, “Why did Lu Shangjin
arrange for you to get a gland replacement?”

“Maybe because…our compatibility fit is high…and he wants to have a

higher compatibility fit with his lover…” The little hamster hugged his thin
and weak legs. He was barefoot, his toes fair and round like a row of white
sticky cakes.
Xia Jingtian scoffed.

“He gave me money.” The little hamster explained quietly as he held the
bottle of water, “My dad ran away from debt, and my mom and I can’t bear
the threat of debt collection, so I came out to work. Lu xiansheng agreed
that as long as I pick my glands for him, he will help me pay off all the
debts and even give me an extra million.”

“In the end…he said not to do it anymore, his lover didn’t want to do it.”
The hamster omega hung his head in disappointment, “He asked me to wait
for president Xia to pick me up.”

“Oh.” XIa Jingtian glanced at him from the side; he was curled up a little,
afraid that he might dirty one of the expensive cushions.

There was a light creamy scent on his body.

It was similar to the smell of that little rabbit’s pheromones, no wonder their
gland types could be matched successfully.

He acted as if he cared, but he just wanted Yan Yi to sacrifice for him and
change for him. Lu Shangjin was just a scumbag.

The hamster omega clamped his short and soft little tail. Feeling nervous,
he remained quiet for a few seconds, then summoned up the courage and
asked tentatively, “President Xia…will you…t-t-take care1 of me…”

Out of the freeway ramp, the traffic light turned red at the intersection. Xia
Jingtian hit the brake a little too fast. The little hamster could only hold
tightly onto the seat belt of the passenger seat to avoid being shaken out.

“President Xia is my brother. There’s never a shortage of people by his

side.” Xia Jingtian looked down as he scrolled through his phone. He had
changed his number countless times to call Yan Yi, but there was no
response, the text messages he sent were also like dropping a pebble into
the sea.
That little rabbit never gave him any hope from the very beginning; even if
they had a high compatibility fit, and even if Lu Shangjin treated him
warmly and coldly at the same time, mistreating him.

Thinking that he had been politely declined for mustering up the courage to
say such shameful words of asking someone to take care of him, the
hamster felt his cheeks instantly heat up with smoke, turning red like fried
shrimp balls.

“I’m sorry…it’s also my first time…I haven’t gotten any clients…” the
hamster scrambled to explain. Xia Jingtian sighed and released soothing
pheromones. Feeling the sense of security from the surroundings wrapping
around him, the little hamster quietened down and looked at Xia Jingtian
with shiny black eyes.

Xia Jingtian lifted the hamster’s chin to the side and studied him carefully.

He had finely-sculpted thin and soft eyelids and a pair of shining pitch-
black eyes that seemed to often carry a handful of water.

He looked different from Yan Yi, but had a very similar scent.

Halfway, Xia Jingtian picked up a phone call. His brother said that he was
at An Fei Ya hospital and something had come up, so he wanted Xia
Jingtian to pick him up on the way.

After hurrying to the hospital, he saw Xia Pingtian sitting in the waiting
room as he listened to several doctors take turns to report the situation.

Xia Jingtian took the car keys and went to the side to listen.

“The state of the peregrine falcon alpha baby that was sent here a few days
ago is temporarily stable. But because of the complexity of the mother’s
condition, it may have some influence on the fetus, so we need to observe it
for a period of time.”

Xia Pingtian instructed seriously, “I don’t care if it’s complex or not, the
one who entrusted this child is not to be provoked. This child must live
well, not a single mistake can be made. Block all the passage of information
and treat this child as though it doesn’t exist. Otherwise, I won’t be able to
protect you all.”

An Fei Ya hospital was a glandular medical hospital single-handedly

controlled by Xia Pingtian, and only a few patients of certain statuses were
admitted. Most of the doctors were old professors who used to do research
with father Xia.

Just after Xia Pingtian ordered, the siren of the ambulance sounded outside.

“Make way! Make way!”

“Emergency rescue!”

A few nurses hurriedly pushed a stretcher bed. An alpha was lying on it. He
was covered with dagger wounds and a tactical dagger was inserted a
centimetre deep beside the glands. It seemed that the person who hurt him
didn’t intend to kill him. Otherwise, just one centimetre more would be
enough to kill him on the spot.

An M2 alpha with the gland type of a giant-horned rhinoceros was

unexpectedly chopped until a half-dead sight. His head was branded with
the PBB serial number. Who knows which fellow had such valiant skills
and strong background to brazenly provoke the Pacific Biodifferentiation
Base.

Xia Pingtian froze for a moment, then he avoided the others before heading
to the stairwell to return Lu Shangjin’s call. After several rings, no one
answered. He impatiently lit up a cigarette in his mouth.

Xia Jingtian came over and saw his brother was on the phone, who then
stuck a finger to his lips to make Xia Jingtian be quiet.

“Pingtian.” The line connected. Lu Shangjin’s voice sounded a little hoarse.

It seemed like he had just gotten into a fight and had used up a large amount
of his pheromones.
“A rhinoceros alpha was just pushed into the hospital, were you the one
who cut him?” Xia Pingtian lowered his volume, “You have something to
do with the PBB people too, you really aren’t afraid of finding trouble, are
you.”

“And also, your son is living quite well. I let them take care of him.”

Lu Shangjin sighed, “That’s not my son. I can’t explain it clearly to you

now. I’ll invite you for a meal when I get back.”

An indistinct soft murmur carried through the phone. Lu Shangjin coaxed a

little before turning back and continued to talk.

It was just the last sound of a syllable, but Xia Jingtian could still tell that it
was Yan Yi’s voice.

Feeling a sudden burst of anger in his heart that he had nowhere to vent,
Xia Jingtian snatched Xia Pingtian’s phone and growled at the mic,
“Surnamed Lu, what have you done to him again?!”

If Lu Shangjin found out that Yan Yi was having a fake pregnancy which
even had something to do with another alpha, with such a character as he
does, what would he do?

Lu Shangjin was taken aback, then he went to coax the little rabbit who was
disturbed in bed.

Xia Pingtian snatched the phone back, pressed Xia Jingtian into the corner
and with one hand, he held against the glands at the back of his neck so he
couldn’t struggle free. On the other line, he heard Lu Shangjin say wearily,
“Keep an eye on your little brother.”

“Forget it, I’m hanging up, I’m hanging up,” Xia Pingtian hung up in a
hurry, then glared at Xia Jingtian ruthlessly. He raised his hand to slap him,
but he hesitated for a long time and his hand didn’t fall down.

“I like him, can’t I not?” Xia Jingtian didn’t even hide, he just stood there
and stared at him, “You want to hit me for a scumbag?”
“You…I can’t control you. I’ll let dad break your legs when we go home
this weekend.” Xia Pingtian let out his breath. He casted Xia Jingtian aside
and walked out.

Outside the hospital, Xia Pingtian sat in the backseat and waited for Xia
Jingtian to start the car.

Xia Jingtian didn’t even walk towards the car and walked off alone.

The little hamster who was sitting in the passenger seat only saw XIa
Jingtian walk out after waiting for so long. He seemed to be in a bad mood
as he turned around and left.

Without thinking, the little hamster ran out of the car and chased after him
in his hospital gown.

Xia Pingtian was left gloomily smoking in the backseat of the car.

Xia Jingtian walked alone in the night, his mind full of the whine that
carried through the phone.

“X-Xia xiansheng…”

Someone called him from behind. Xia Jingtian turned around and saw that
the little hamster had been chasing him for a long time while barefooted.
The loose ill-fitting hospital gown made him look especially thin, like a rag
doll in adult clothes, his arms not long enough to stretch out through the
sleeves.

Seeing Xia Jingtian stop to wait for him, the little hamster hurried over
barefoot. With his round and black eyes wide open, he asked, “Did you
have a fight with president Xia?”

His fair and delicate toes were red from the friction of the gravel on the
ground. He rubbed the back of his feet pitifully, the short and soft hamster
tail trembled as it clamped down.

“Fuck, I’m really impressed by you. I’m already annoyed enough.” Driven
mad, Xia Jingtian scratched his hair and picked up the little hamster who
was a head shorter than him, then rubbed the small gravel stones off the
soles of his feet for him.

——

Lu Shangjin settled Yan Yi in the bedroom on the second floor of the

collapsed bar. He first took a quick shower to wash away the bloodstains
and other alphas’ pheromones; he didn’t like being contaminated by the
chaotic and disordered scents.

It’s difficult to pretend not to love dearly. When he was willing to show no
interest nor care about his lover, be intimate with someone else in front of
him and treat him like air, it already couldn’t be undone.

He put on a bathrobe and wormed under the quilt, hugged Yan Yi from
behind, and released the little soothing pheromones he had left.

Glands were just like energy storage machines. It would dry up if energy
was consumed too fast and needed time to recover. If the glands were
always in a dried condition, it would cause damage to the body.

However, Lu Shangjin was still endlessly releasing it as he embraced the

uneasy little rabbit in his arms, letting him feel as safe as possible with his
own scent. Perhaps, there was a little bit of guilt.

At first, Yan Yi was resistant to it, but gradually softened from the soothing
pheromones that permeated the whole room. His slightly opened collar
revealed the old-fashioned cyan-blue brand on his chest.

The three letters ‘PBB’, plus a row of the serial number 000002.

Lu Shangjin held him, letting him nestle in his arms and lean against his
shoulder. He separated his hands to release the bandages wrapped around
Yan Yi’s arms and palms.

The bandages unravelled one round after another, exposing numerous

swollen blue and purple needle holes on the forearm. They were all traces
left by heat inhibitors.
“I’m sorry…” Lu Shangjin was momentarily blank before he gently
caressed Yan Yi’s swollen forearm, then kissed his ear.

——

Yan Yi slept the whole night. His body felt excessive fatigue, but it was
difficult to sleep soundly. He dreamt that he was accompanied by the alpha
he liked.

The small window was covered with a sheer curtain, and the warm sunshine
toasted his body. Yan Yi got up, scratched the root of his tail and slowly
opened his eyes.

Lu Shangjin came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, the neckline was
opened. Water trickled down into the bathrobe along the contour of his
chest muscles.

Yan Yi froze and stared at him.

“You’re awake?” Lu Shangjin raised his hand to touch Yan Yi’s face.

Frightened, Yan Yi avoided it. He retreated back to the corner of the bed
and protected his abdomen, watching Lu Shangjin in alert and confusion.

Lu Shangjin walked over. Yan Yi wanted to move back further, but Lu

Shangjin held onto his wrist and forcefully pulled him into his arms and
held him tightly.

“Don’t…” the tip of Yan Yi’s nose turned red and trembled rapidly. He
gasped for breath, like a hare being caught by a hunter, shivering in despair.

Lu Shangjin lightly rubbed the tip of his nose against his neck while
releasing soothing pheromones. He gently touched Yan Yi’s little rabbit ears
to let him calm down.

“Don’t be afraid of me, Yan Yan. I didn’t do anything.”

Yan Yi was hooped around by a pair of strong arms. For a while, he

couldn’t find this familiar touch sensation in his memories, and was locked
by Lu Shangjin’s arms pressed under his body for a long time. He had
already gradually forgotten what the warmth and simplicity of an embrace
felt like.

He could easily resist the control of these hands at any time. It was just that
he had never done that before, never refused the warmth and suffering that
these hands had given him.

It was the last cold spring in April. The full-bloomed purple

chrysanthemum in the flower pot outside the window trembled in the cold
wind. Only wearing a shirt, Yan Yi shivered in Lu Shangjin’s arms.

Lu Shangjin tightened his arms and held Yan Yi up, “Do you want to take a
bath?”

To his surprise, Lu Shangjin wanted to carry him to take a bath.

Feeling nervous the entire time, Yan Yi tensed up and pushed against Lu
Shangjin’s chest, “Put me down.”

Lu Shangjin froze, “Don’t you like me holding you?”

Things didn’t go as expected. Lu Shangjin was very surprised. His little

rabbit had always liked him very much. As long as he gave him a warm
look, Yan Yi would be overjoyed beyond words.

He clearly valued and treasured everything Lu Shangjin had given him. A

few days ago, he had been extremely happy when he received the carrot
brooch on his birthday.
He even shed tears when he held the wonton soup in the hospital.

What happened now?

Yan Yi struggled even harder and broke free from Lu Shangjin’s arms.
However, because of the side effects of being injected with excessive
inhibitors, his entire body lacked strength and he fell back onto the bed. He
curled up to protect his little belly, but accidentally pressed onto the bruised
injection needle holes on his arm, hurting like they burst open when
touched.

“Does it hurt?” Seeing Yan Yi reveal a painful expression on his face, Lu

Shangjin immediately bent over to stroke his back and released soothing
pheromones. He then held his pin-pricked forearm, “Come home with me
and go to the hospital to get checked, I’ll stay at home with you to heal your
wounds.”

Yan Yi almost couldn’t recognise the person in front of him anymore.

The pheromones were still the powerfully pressing Narcissus flower, and
his appearance was as cold as usual, keeping others a distance away. He
was obviously wearing Lu Shangjin’s skin, but the things he did made Yan
Yi too surprised to speak.

“It’s me.” Lu Shangjin lifted his hand and bent his index finger to touch Yan
Yi’s little rabbit ear gently. Seeing that he did not evade, he took the
opportunity to put his hand on Yan Yi’s cheek and released soothing
pheromones at the same time.

The fight yesterday was too consuming and his glands had not returned to
their best state. Lu Shangjin didn’t care much as he released soothing
pheromones without being stingy at all, just to coax the little rabbit back.

Yan Yi didn’t meet his eyes and looked down at the tips of his toes, “You
were the one who tossed me out of the house. Is it your dad who wants me
to go back?”

At the mention of Lu Lin, Lu Shangjin’s stomach churned with nausea.

“No.” These words sounded particularly ear-piercing to Lu Shangjin. Yan
Yi had actually confused him with that disgusting man.

“Come here.” Lu Shangjin said as he approached Yan Yi.

Right now, Yan Yi’s sensitive state of fear and apprehension to every
slightest movement made him afraid that something happened to his body,
causing him to look like a frightened little bird.

He kept retreating. He had once truly longed for Lu Shangjin to turn back,
but no matter how strong the heart is, it couldn’t bear the love that
alternated between hot and cold.

He was thrown out of the house by Lu Shangjin himself, and then nestled in
a narrow and cold little inn crying while he called him, as pitiful as a child
who was lost in a crowd.

Because Lu Shangjin’s pheromones were constantly awakening Yan Yi’s

glands, the little rabbit who was still in heat, became increasingly irritable.

The restless determinants in the blood vessels that had just calmed down
after a whole night began to collide with the fragile nerves again.

Yan Yi felt pain.

Lu Shangjin was still coming closer, until Yan Yi retreated behind a small
round table. Lu Shangjin tried his best to appease him as he coaxed
ceaselessly, “Be good and come to me.”

Having no room to retreat back, Yan Yi lifted the round table and yelled,
“Lu Shangjin what on earth do you want to do!”

He was so furious that he even startled himself.

Ever since Lu Shangjin knew him, he had never heard Yan Yi shout so
loudly before. The various items on the table hit him right in the face. Lu
Shangjin pounced over, and while Yan Yi was covering his glands that were
swelling with pain, he pushed Yan Yi to the corner, locked his hands
together and kissed his neck from behind.
It turned out that it was because of his heat that he was still in an irritable
state.

“You’re in heat, let me help you.” Using Yan Yi’s hands, Lu Shangjin
forced him to yield.

Yan Yi put his head against the wall in pain and begged in a hoarse voice,
“Don’t bother me anymore, it hurts a lot.”

“It hurts?” Lu Shangjin suddenly realized that he was exerting all his
strength again and immediately let go. Yan Yi shook him off, twisted the
door open and hurriedly stumbled out.

Gu Wei was holding his waist that hurt from falling last night, as he tidied
the tables and chairs on the first floor while wearing an apron. The fight that
happened last night had made a mess of this shop, but there was no major
damage. It seemed that the only tragic sacrifice of a few things was all
smashed by himself.

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs, Gu Wei only looked up
slightly before he saw a little white rabbit hurrying down while only
wearing a shirt with his legs bare.

“Hey! Stop!” Gu Wei took a coat from the bar counter and threw it to Yan
Yi, “Don’t run out butt-naked and affect the appearance of the shop.”

Before Yan Yi could run down the stairs, he was hurriedly chased back up
the room by Lu Shangjin.

Yan Yi struggled hard, “I’m not going back, I don’t want to see you get into
bed with them…”

“I won’t, I promise. Don’t run around, can we have a good talk?”

Seeing someone bullying his employee, Gu Wei dragged Yan Yi behind him
and pointed the broomstick at Lu Shangjin, saying fiercely, “Where the fuck
did you come from now, you beast?”
Yan Yi took Gu Wei’s coat to cover his lower body and squatted on the
ground without even looking up, “Boss, drive him away quickly.”

Lu Shangjin met Gu Wei’s line of sight. When he smelled the scent of

geranium pheromones on his body, he released oppressive pheromones
right after, “A husky? There’s surprisingly such a strange awakening.”

The pheromones released by M2 differentiated glands completely

suppressed J1 in an imposing manner. Gu Wei immediately picked up his
tail, “Farewell.”

“Ah Yan, I’ve already included the work-related injuries from last night into
your salary.” He then took the broom and went to sweep the floor in the
corner.

Then watched Lu Shangjin grab Yan Yi back to the second floor.

“My god.” Gu Wei kept looking towards the second floor. A J1 high-grade
omega and an M2 super-high-grade alpha were entangled on their own
upstairs. Is this the 《100 Escapes Of The Young Mistress》or 《The
President Chases His Wife: Baby Can’t Run Away》.

Gu Wei made a post on Weibo:

#RuinsBar#Personally experienced an eagle catching a little white rabbit,

do overbearing presidents always talk in a skrskr1 way? (heehee)

He attached a funny selfie with big nostrils at the bottom.

Ruins Bar had been well-known on the internet because the shop owner was
too handsome. Most of the comments were “the shop owner’s voice catches
up and surpasses first-class singers”, “Boss Gu is so silly and handsome”,
“Boss Gu doesn’t have an O yet, give a good score to the alpha.”

Whatever Gu Wei posted, the hottest comment would be the routine of “did
boss Gu smash his shop today?”, and there would be dozens of “smashed”
at the bottom.
The northernmost hot spring resort in Nan Qi town was cleared off today,
specifically for the young master and his friends to get together. The hot
spring pool was quiet, only a plate of fruits was floating.

The spider alpha leaned against the pool, picked up a piece of pineapple and
threw it into his mouth to chew. His peach blossom eyes seemed to be
fogged with a layer of mist.

Shao Wenjing was too lazy to romp around and disco-dance with that group
of friends, so he found a quiet pool to soak in. That eyesore of a godfather
had finally been gotten rid of by Lu Shangjin. Shao Wenjing felt very
comfortable.

A little omega ran over and squeezed beside Shao Wenjing, “Ge, it’s not
easy for you to come back, come and play with me.”

“I’m tired, I’m taking a rest.” Shao Wenjing leaned back against the pool,
“Lend me your phone.”

“Hmph.” The little spider omega handed his phone to Shao Wenjing and
complained discontentedly, “Stinky spidey.”

“Little spidey.” Shao Wenjing laughed and took his little brother’s phone to
scroll on Weibo.

He was then recommended a post from the same city; #RuinsBar#.

It was easy to scroll past it at first, but he suddenly looked at the corner of
the photo carefully and saw that the shadow under the light was a little
familiar.

“Yo.” Shao Wenjing whistled.

“Little rabbit.”

——

Lu Shangjin carried Yan Yi to the bedroom and locked the door.

He wiped the dried blood on his cheek. He had wanted to wipe his body last
night, but the little rabbit was trembling as he hugged himself, murmuring
and begging him not to leave, so Lu Shangjin had to hold him and wipe him
with a paper towel before he went to sleep.

Extremely reluctantly, Yan Yi was stripped out of his clothes and stuffed
into the bathtub. Lu Shangjin pulled up his sleeves and tried to rinse the
blood stains on Yan Yi with water.

“Have you become fatter?” Lu Shangjin gently touched Yan Yi’s belly,
“There’s more belly fat, but I feel that you’ve become lighter.”

“Fatter?” Yan Yi looked down at his own little belly. There was no
movement from the little bunny inside, and the arch of the bulge wasn’t
large. It looked indeed like small belly fat.

But only Lu Shangjin could be so ruthless as to treat his own child as a

lump of meat.

Yan Yi sat while hugging his legs to protect the baby in his arms, hesitating
to tell Lu Shangjin about the existence of the child.

So what can he do if he knows?

Now, what can his unexplained advances be considered anyway?

He could torment him over and over, like a temperamental little child, do
the most cruel things with the most innocent look on his face, and he still
wouldn’t know it.

Lu Shangjin washed Yan Yi’s hair patiently. The little rabbit ears brushed
the water away dishonestly and brushed onto Lu Shangjin’s face.

“Made my ears wet. My ears-” Yan Yi lowered his head, “Can’t get in the
water.”

“Okay.” Yan Yi finally said something normal to him. Lu Shangjin felt a bit
relieved, his impetuous heart finally settled down a little. He only had Yan
Yi now.
Lu Shangjin carefully washed Yan Yi’s hair, wiped the stains off his face
again, then rinsed his body and carried him out.

The drenched rabbit tail became thin and bald. Lu Shangjin held the hair
dryer as he concentrated on blowing Yan Yi’s tail dry, blowing it into a soft
and fluffy white fur ball.

“Alright, I’ll blow your hair now.” Lu Shangjin released Yan Yi’s tail. Yan
Yi sat kneeling on the bed, staring at the corner in a daze.

“What do you…what is it you are doing?” Yan Yi rubbed his wet hair in
distress, “What’s wrong with you? What have you been doing for so many
years? You didn’t even look at me when I was around, yet you disagreed
when I left. You just like to see me like this, don’t you.”

“Xiansheng, why do you like to break something and repair it, then repair it
and break it again? Wouldn’t the thing be hurt?”

“I’ll apologize to you.” Lu Shangjin said helplessly, “I’ve missed you.”

The weakness in Yan Yi’s eyes grew.

Apologies.

How hard it was to come by.

 Chap 25

In the morning, business at the bar was cold and deserted. Gu Wei was
cleaning up alone downstairs. The surrounding furniture looked neat and
comfortable. He nestled into the soft sofa at the corner and picked up his
guitar, singing “happy break-up”.

The room on the second floor was locked. Yan Yi sat on the bed with his
legs folded, feeling uneasy the whole time. With nowhere to place his
hands, he held his finely-white soft toes as he lowered his head and waited
for Lu Shangjin to blow-dry his hair.

The soft drooping rabbit ear was held by a wide palm, feeling snug and at
ease. But Yan Yi still didn’t dare to let go of his worries and enjoy such
comfort, his body remaining tense.

Lu Shangjin put down the hair dryer before sitting down and pulling Yan Yi
into his arms. The little rabbit curled up into a soft tiny ball as he nervously
leaned in close to the hollow of Lu Shangjin’s shoulder.

Lu Shangjin hadn’t been so considerate to him for a very, very long time.

He had endured many years of struggling to pursue love. After the breakup,
every time Lu Shangjin touched him, it would bring him pain. Gradually, he
became used to the pain, just like embracing roses had to come at the price
of bleeding.

Lu Shangjin released soothing pheromones once again. He was actually

very tired, but now, he could only ensure his sense of belonging and
security through Yan Yi. It seems that only by letting Yan Yi’s tight body
gradually soften in his arms, can his heart that almost withered from panic
be redeemed.
Yan Yi pressed his face gently against Lu Shangjin’s broad chest, enveloped
in a narrow and safe space by the scent of Narcissus flowers.

The heightened concentration of the glandular-dormancy injection had the

side-effect of affecting one’s appetite. His thin and pale fingers remained as
thin as before, hesitating in the sleeves of the bathrobe for a long time. He
then lifted Lu Shangjin’s lapels extremely carefully, as if he didn’t want to
be noticed by anyone, yet couldn’t help but want to hold him.

The subtle movements fell onto Lu Shangjin’s eyes. Holding him, he

changed his position and leaned against the head of the bed. He then put
Yan Yi’s head against the hollow of his shoulder, caressed the thin back
which bones could be felt, and pulled the quilt over Yan Yi’s shoulders.

“Are you cold? You’re trembling,” Lu Shangjin bowed his head to kiss his
eyelashes.

Yan Yi was silent and didn’t answer, just quietly clasping onto Lu
Shangjin’s lapel.

He had also been held by an alpha with a high-degree compatibility. When

Xia Jingtian held him, the highly-compatible pheromones blended together
in an instant, like being deeply immersed in a soft and gentle land,
intoxicated by psychedelic drugs, pulled by the spider-web’s attraction that
was difficult to free oneself from.

However, the current temperature was the warmth that he could not even
find in his dreams, unable to resist at all.

After pushing away again, Lu Shangjin would probably really leave. Yan Yi
understood his patience; it had always been a luxury consumed faster than
money.

“So obedient.” Satisfied at Yan Yi’s obedience, Lu Shangjin gently caressed

his ears, kneading the thin and soft rabbit fur along the clean ear auricle. He
picked it up and placed it to his lips, smelled the faint scent of milk-candy,
and gave a rewarding kiss.
Yan Yi trembled, his little rabbit ears flicked away timidly and shrank back
into his hair.

Every night when he had curled up on the corner of the sofa to wait for Lu
Shangjin, almost all the lights that could be turned on in the empty villa
were on. Yan Yi was afraid of the dark, afraid of being alone, afraid that Lu
Shangjin would not come home.

When Lu Shangjin came back at two or three in the morning, Yan Yi would
always startle awake at the tiniest sound and hurry over to welcome him
with his flip flops on.

Lu Shangjin just handed him his coat, stained with the smell of cigarettes,
liquor and a disordered mess of pheromones, saying ‘I’m tired’, then went
to take a shower and head to bed.

Yan Yi hid the desert which he had just learned that day behind his back,
hung his ears and silently watched Lu Shangjin walk into the bedroom
without even looking back.

No matter how good he was, he would never be able to achieve a kiss on his
ear.

Lu Shangjin found that the little rabbit in his arms was lost in thought.

He lowered his head and pressed his lips against Yan Yi’s soft grey hair,
kissed his ears, then held Yan Yi’s chin to lift his head.

Yan Yi’s eyes held restraint, but there was a thin layer of water over his
light grey pupils.

“Can I kiss you?” Lu Shangjin asked in a low voice in Yan Yi’s ear,
carrying a flirtatious and charming tone.

“What…”

Lu Shangjin lightly touched Yan Yi’s moist lips, “Will you let me kiss
here.”
Yan Yi was so nervous that he wanted to run away, but was led along by Lu
Shangjin with the tip of his soft ear before he lowered his head to suck the
milk jelly-like upper lip.

When they separated, Yan Yi shrank even smaller, almost burying his head
into his arms as he hurriedly wiped the corners of his lips.

Lu Shangjin gently patted his hair.

It had been a long time since he properly looked at Yan Yi that he almost
forgot what his features looked like. At this moment, he found that these
pale grey eyes were as charming as ever.

After years of refusing to realize his stubbornness, how can he become

aware of his errors and turn back from the wrong path?

Ultimately, he didn’t love enough, and didn’t treasure him enough. He once
regarded Yan Yi as forbidden property, not to be touched by others, but he
drowned himself in sexual pleasures and commited debauchery as he
gradually grew tired of the young boy he had once cherished.

However, if the house becomes empty, and he couldn’t see the little rabbit
waiting for him in the middle of the night when he looked back, he was like
a bee whose beehive had been stirred, dying from agitation.

But the little rabbit was always waiting for him. Even if he got angry
occasionally and ran out, he would always come back after some coaxing.

Even if it was more difficult to coax this time, Lu Shangjin still had this bit
of patience.

“Do you want to do it?” Lu Shangjin whispered in his ear.

“No…I…my body hurts, I don’t want to…”

The side effects left by the excessive injection of highly-concentrated

inhibitors were that as the heat was temporarily suppressed, desire was
replaced by pain. Every movement that Yan Yi made was accompanied by a
stinging pain deep within his bone marrow.
Anyone who had never been injected with highly-concentrated inhibitors
wouldn’t be able to understand it. This kind of inhibitor could not be
directly inserted into the glands, as an extremely high concentration would
cause trauma to the gland cells.

Lu Shangjin was incapable of understanding this kind of pain. He only felt

that one should have sex to relieve the discomfort of being in heat.

“I’ve missed you.” Lu Shangjin’s voice was low and gentle. Like a
lighthouse phantom that was luring the ship astray, a mirage in the desert
that draws people in deep, he stuck close to Yan Yi’s ear, leading him to fall
step by step.

His skin was fair, legs straight and slender, and a rabbit tail sat atop his
tailbone.

Lu Shangjin gently stroked the root of his tail. Yan Yi knelt crouching on
the bed as he was being held down by his hands, his legs separated by Lu
Shangjin. Ice-cold lubricant was poured into the clean and rosy back cave,
before two fingers squeezed inside and expanded it.

“Jin ge…it hurts…” Yan Yi’s hands were held behind his back, unable to
resist. He looked back at Lu Shangjin with wet eyes and trembled as he
begged, “I don’t want to do it, just hold me for a while.”

“It won’t hurt, it’ll be better soon.” Lu Shangjin bent down to kiss the clear
contour of his spine through his skin, kissing down inch by inch to the tip of
his trembling tail and played with it in a vile way.

“Uhh!” Yan Yi’s body suddenly shuddered, the tip of his nose trembled
slightly and his eyelids turned red. His hands were still clasped behind his
back by Lu Shangjin. The clean and pink sexual organ between his legs
swelled up, and Lu Shangjin held it in his hand as he rubbed it.

“It won’t hurt, don’t be scared, I won’t let you feel pain.” Lu Shangjin
comforted him patiently. He held his thick scarlet sexual organ against Yan
Yi’s tender and narrow entrance, then pushed half the head inside.
The expanding soft little cave immediately tightened up with fear.

“Don’t be scared, be good.” Lu Shangjin gently touched the small tail in

front of him, “Relax.”

Lu Shangjin had never been so gentle like this in bed before.

Sobbing, Yan Yi tried his best to relax his back entrance. A frighteningly
thick meat stick slowly squeezed into the intestinal flesh, its tendons and
veins rubbed against the fragile intestinal walls as it gradually opened up
and filled the whole body.

“It hurts…I don’t have the energy. I really don’t have the energy to do it…
Jin ge…” While trying to swallow the whole of Lu Shangjin’s sexual organ,
Yan Yi had already exhausted all his strength and weakly fell limp onto the
bed, only relying on Lu Shangjin’s hand to lend him some strength.

The heat that was suppressed by inhibitors seemed to have aroused. The
pain in his bone marrow did not go away, but the desirable thirst to copulate
appeared.

Yan Yi’s kneeling posture made his waist and abdomen appear more
slender. Lu Shangjin held him up and supported his legs, weighing them.

“Ahh! It hurts, I can’t take it inside, don’t put it all in…” Yan Yi cried out
sharply as he grabbed Lu Shangjin’s hand, holding on hard to prevent
himself from falling down.

He really had no strength. His body fell down and was completely pierced
from the bottom to the top by the thick and hard sexual organ, directly
poking into his reproductive cavity.

Lu Shangjin held Yan Yi up and down. The little rabbit’s body was wedged
onto the hard object of his crotch, and a thin layer of sweat emerged all over
his body.

His white buttocks flushed red from the collision as the red and swollen
hole swallowed the huge monster.
Yan Yi suddenly burst into tears as he hugged Lu Shangjin tightly, his
fingertips scratching and leaving several red nail marks on his back.

“Jin ge…when can you…not bully me…”

 Chap 26

“Jin ge…when can you…not bully me…”

Like the dew on an insect’s fluttering wings, the trembling voice grasped
lightly onto Lu Shangjin’s heart. With a confused look appearing on his
face, Lu Shangjin pulled the violently trembling little rabbit into his arms,
took out a piece of tissue to wipe Yan Yi’s tears, and kissed his eyes
uneasily, “Was I too fierce?”

Yan Yi felt exhausted and weak all over. He answered an ‘mn’ with a soft
voice, his thin and fragile body wrapped in Lu Shangjin’s arms, without
even having the strength to move.

He really appeared to be in pain.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry.” Lu Shangjin bent over and held Yan Yi’s cheek,
wiping his tears and his nose, “Tsk, what’s gotten into you.”

The tip of Yan Yi’s nose was red, like a white cherry with a layer of pink.
After being ruthlessly bullied, it shrank into a tiny ball.

It made him reminisce about their first meeting. Yan Yi was still a little
baby bunny, not really knowing how to speak at the age of seven. He was
lying on the window of the piano room while standing on his tip-toes,
pricking his ears to hear him play the piano.

When he was caught on the spot, he held himself into a ball from fear and
shyness, like a little dumpling who had grown a pair of bunny ears and a
round fluffy tail, trembling as he said “it sounds nice.”

——
After taking him to wash up, Lu Shangjin carried him back to tuck him into
the quilt. Yan Yi’s expression was a little uncomfortable as he shrank in Lu
Shangjin’s arms drowsily.

Lu Shangjin couldn’t help but feel moody. The good mood of having just
expressed his sexual desire had been worn down by over half.

Yan Yi’s show of affection towards him had been weary, why didn’t he like
it?

Shouldn’t he have sex when he’s on his heat? He really just wanted to make
Yan Yi have an easier time during his heat period. Moreover, he had
exhausted half a lifetime’s worth of patience this time. He was gentle in
every particular detail, how could Yan Yi feel discomfort?

When he had asked his assistant to buy milk and strawberries before, Yan
Yi had also ate them with difficulty,

Just as he was tired of him, Yan Yi seemed to be tired of himself. Lu

Shangjin felt a little flustered, but quickly calmed down, because he thought
about the content of a book he had read before.

The “higher-grade reproductive instinct theory” has long been confirmed.

There were few higher-grade omegas, so in order to continue this high-
grade gene, their racial instincts will increase their psychological
attachment to the alpha who marked them. The higher the grade of
glandular differentiation, the stronger the psychological attachment.

However, for alphas of higher differentiative grades, their pheromones

would encourage them to seek out more omega combinations to leave
higher-grade offspring. This evolutionary instinct is the survival of the
fittest race.

Although there have been scholars who put forward that “higher-grade
instincts obey the theory of mutual attraction compatibility”, for unknown
fields, people are always used to believing what they want to believe.
There are two sides to everything. The third-grade differentiated high-
ordered glands not only allowed omegas to possess powerful abilities
beyond the reach of ordinary people, they were also like an invisible
shackle, making them prisoner to the laws of nature.

So, Lu Shangjin could feel reassured by this support.

He bent down to touch the little rabbit’s soft and fluffy hair gently, “Yan
Yan, don’t you miss me?”

Yan Yi hadn’t fallen asleep yet. Hearing him ask this, he seemed to be more
fully awake.

How could he not miss him?

He would always bring a rose with him when he came home, and would tell
him at the moment when his alpha looked at him, “I love you, I love you, I
love you, I love you.”

The rose in his pocket would wither, but Lu Shangjin wouldn’t spare him a
single look.

There’s no use missing him.

Yan Yi dusted his little rabbit ears and asked in a hoarse voice, “Isn’t it
comfortable to get into bed with a partner of high compatibility fit? So
many omegas are waiting for you to go back and spoil them.”

Lu Shangjin was stunned. He suddenly understood that Yan Yi was

unexpectedly questioning him about the debts of his past affairs.

Lu Shangjin laid sideways beside Yan Yi and held him in his arms. He then
took out the patience he wouldn’t normally have and said, “No, don’t say
the word ‘partner’, I’ve broken off from all of them. You’re my omega,
you’re different from them.”

Yan Yi curved his eyes as he smiled reluctantly. He squeezed into Lu

Shangjin’s arms lovingly, and took the initiative to put his arm over Lu
Shangjin’s lean and muscular waist.
Sure enough, Lu Shangjin instantly became quiet, hugging Yan Yi in relief.

Yan Yi was just too tired, he didn’t want to argue a few words more with Lu
Shangjin.

Lu Shangjin couldn’t be blamed as well. After all, no one could understand

how painful it was if they hadn’t gotten injected by a highly-concentrated
inhibitor themselves.

He said he was sorry. But in fact, he didn’t understand what he had done
wrong.

Lu Shangjin didn’t want to know what he wanted at all. He was just giving
on a sudden impulse and hoping for an equal return.

He had broken off with all of them, but he was just tired of playing, the next
batch can be replaced any minute.

Yan Yi was different from them, of course he was. Lu Shangjin’s beloved

omegas had an unlimited balance, luxurious sports cars, and a house under
their own names. Yan Yi was the only one who had nothing, he was indeed
very different.

Lu Shangjin had beaten up that M2 rhinoceros alpha last night, and who
knows if that alpha still had a way to live. He had always been vicious
when he fought, completely ruthless when he set his hands on someone, and
even exhausted the energy of his own glands.

Just now, in bed, Lu Shangjin had been constantly releasing soothing

pheromones to relieve Yan Yi of his pain. Feeling a little tired as well, he
held the soft little rabbit in his arms and soon fell asleep.

Yan Yi stroked his belly gently; there was no movement from the baby, he
didn’t know if the baby had been jabbed by Lu Shangjin just now.

The baby’s life was so hard, having to endure such a thoughtless father.

Yan Yi looked sideways at Lu Shangjin’s face. His deep eye sockets could
only appear gentle when his eyes were closed. The tall and straight bridge
of his nose casted a small shadow on his face. Yan Yi used his whole body
to hug the broad chest into his arms, pressing against the distinct lines of his
eight-pack abdominal muscles.

Such a seductively attractive appearance; how can it contain such a cold

and detached heart?

“Jin ge.” Yan Yi opened his mouth silently and gently tracing his fingertips
over Lu Shangjin’s eyes and eyebrows. Lu Shangjin’s even breaths swept
lightly over his fingertips.

This was an image in his dream; Lu Shangjin lying next to him, holding
him, protecting him in his arms. Even in his sleep, he was releasing
soothing pheromones, letting the little rabbit in his arms sleep more
peacefully.

“It’s enough for you to care about me today, I’m not greedy.” Yan Yi put his
hand on the back of Lu Shangjin’s hand and overlapped their fingertips.

How could he dare to go back with him?

Lu Shangjin’s warmth was uncertain. It’s good to just leave a good memory.

——

When Lu Shangjin woke up, his arms were empty.

He sat up and saw that the sky outside through the thin curtains was getting
late, his heart felt lost and disappointed.

Turning his head, he saw a bowl of chicken porridge still warm on the
bedside table, so he relaxed and picked up the bowl. He then smelled the
faint scent of milk candy clinging to the edge of the bowl, touched by the
little rabbit’s white and delicate fingers.

Somehow, it usually smelled ordinarily sweet, but now there was a strange
sense of nostalgia when it entered his nasal cavity. Lu Shangjin couldn’t
bear to miss a single grain of rice as he drank the porridge to the last drop.
His shirt was hung neatly in the closet, free of any wrinkles.

Lu Shangjin went down to the first floor. The bar was very lively, and the
rotating stage lamp projected countless circular light spots on the ground.
That husky alpha was sitting on a bar stool with his guitar, the live webcam
was placed in the corner, tuned out to a suitable angle, while he sang fan-
requested songs selflessly.

All kinds of customers were gathered around the bar. Several little omegas
were watching the rabbit-eared bartender behind the bar with faces full of
fascination.

An omega boy asked Yan Yi shyly, “Your ears are so cute, can I touch
them?”

Yan Yi was wearing the bartender’s waistcoat as usual. He pushed a glass of

holiday sweetness to the omega, and with a twist of his finger, a small daisy
ornament appeared on the wine glass. He held his cheek with one hand and
lifted his lips slightly, “There’s a price for touching it.”

He then snapped his fingers, flipped out a light-coloured card and pushed it
to little omega, “The boss wants to make a wishing tree. Do you want to be
the first baby to hang it?”

The omega’s face was like a little red balloon. With bulging cheeks, he
wrote a card to Yan Yi. Yan Yi then lifted a rabbit ear and let the omega
touch it.

“So soft…” the omega boy’s face turned red after touching it.

Several alpha travel partners came to strike up a conversation with Yan Yi,
whistling and leaning over the bar to wink deliberately at him, “Little
bunny, we want to touch your ears too, can we? Your tail can do too.”

“Only cute omegas can touch them.” Yan Yi sat sideways behind the bar
and said with a light smile, “Gentlemen can’t just touch omegas ears.”
The strobing circular light shone on the side of Yan Yi’s face; the little
rabbit seemed like he was shining.

Lu Shangjin stood by the wooden stairs. It turned out that the little white
rabbit who was not at home wearing an apron and focusing on housework,
could look so beautiful when he was outside.

Yan Yi noticed Lu Shangjin standing beside the wooden stairs, and the
smile on the corner of his lips dwindled slightly.
 Chap 27

The streets of the town lit up the night like an old painting. The dim flames
flickered in the bar as the coarse and intangible singing spread afar with the
sound of guitar strings.

Ants climbed up the black bricks winding up the flower vine, arranging
their feelers on the petals of the Paris daisies.

Lu Shangjin was walking through the figures swaying to the music in the
lobby of the bar, carrying expulsive pheromones as he walked up to the bar
counter.

The high-grade M2 pheromones represented the occupancy of a territory by

the strongest. When the group of people by the bar felt the scent of a bad
aura approaching, they retreated one after another. Several of the alphas
who were striking up a conversation with Yan Yi instantly withdrew their
frivolous smiles and hurried aside.

“Surprisingly, there’s an M2 alpha here.” Someone whispered from the side,

“He’s set his sights on the little rabbit. It’s all over, don’t compete with the
big guy for his prey…”

Lu Shangjin sat on the high stool, his hands crossed under his chin with his
elbows on the bar as he watched Yan Yi carefully.

Yan Yi stood up and lightly rubbed the ring on the ring finger of his right
hand in an uneasy manner. He looked down at his white fingertips that had
a touch of redness.

“You scared all my customers away.” Yan Yi complained while looking

down.
The light was reflected on his drooping eyelashes, and a furry shadow
covered the skin under his eyes.

Lu Shangjin stared at him and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his
eyelashes.

Yan Yi ducked away slightly and asked quietly, “What do you want to
drink?”

The light in Lu Shangjin’s eyes darkened. Suddenly, with one hand

supported by the bar, he held the back of Yan Yi’s head and pulled him over
for a kiss.

“There are customers here…!” Flustered, Yan Yi held Lu Shangjin’s chest,

but was hooped by the strength of the other’s arms and pulled into his
embrace, his refusing hand was grasped to prevent him from pushing Lu
Shangjin away. The body that was writhing slightly from avoidance was
then held down strongly by the waist.

Lu Shangjin finally let him go. Yan Yi’s moist lips were soft and red from
the kiss as he gasped for breath.

Lu Shangjin looked like an arrogant beast after declaring “ownership of the

territory”. He pursed his lips and said, “Make me a glass of whatever you
like.”

He pulled out a card from his coat and pushed it to Yan Yi, “If you’re tired,
you can ask for leave and not work.”

Yan Yi rubbed his lips, looking at that card that had unlimited balance, and
fell into a daze.

Actually, he didn’t want Lu Shangjin’s money. He just couldn’t accept that

Lu Shangjin would give things to others casually, while Yan Yi didn’t have
anything.

But when Lu Shangjin really did give it to him, he was still unhappy. It
seemed that he had even lost this special point.
I really am a contradictory rabbit.

Yan Yi didn’t pay attention to that card anymore. He took an elegantly-

shaped wine glass from the glass holder.

Lu Shangjin admired the items of entertainment as he watched Yan Yi mix

the liquor skillfully. Finally, the slender fingers pushed a glass of light-red
cocktail which emitted the sweet and sour scent of cranberry.

“Don’t I get a flower?” Lu Shangjin seemed as though he was looking at the

kindergarten teacher handing out toys but skipping past him, his eyes
appearing a little disappointed, “You gave one to all of them.”

Who could reject such a question?

Yan Yi flipped over his wrist helplessly and caught a rose between his
fingers before putting it into the glass.

Every day, he had clearly arranged the carefully-selected flowers in the

flower vase of the dining room for Lu Shangjin. When he stopped bringing
flowers home, Lu Shangjin asked for them again.

He was just a spoiled child.

Lu Shangjin picked up the glass of wine to have a taste; it’s just an ordinary
cocktail, but it also had the elegant taste of fine red wine.

“Is there a name for it?” Lu Shangjin shook the glass.

Yan Yi curved his eyes, “Christmas rose.”

There were few opportunities for such mutual dialogue. Yan Yi grew up in
isolation at a training camp, and the only places he visited were the
differentiation base and the Lu mansion. He really had no knowledge and
experience of things. Lu Shangjin rarely asked for Yan Yi’s opinions and
often made arrangements for him.

Yan Yi was also always happy to accept them. No matter what Lu Shangjin
asked, he would always answer that he liked it.
Because at the time, his heart and eyes were full of Lu Shangjin. His world
was full of black and white pixels, and only Lu Shangjin was in colour,
shining with dazzling light.

After having a taste, Lu Shangjin smiled with his eyes full of praise,
“Really good. It would be better if the sweetness was lighter.”

Yan Yi’s little rabbit ears shook and stood up before drooping back down
cutely. He rubbed his fingers and said briskly, “I’ll try again.”

Lu Shangjin put the rose into his front pocket after finishing the glass, “No
need, it’s really good like this too. I’d like to try something else.”

Yan Yi stared at his front pocket. It’s a pity that it’s not the rose that he
brought home full of tenderness and affection every day.

“I have other customers.” Yan Yi received money from another beta and
mixed a glass of Alia Fantasy Island. The white mist of the pink and blue
cocktail swirled twice between Yan Yi’s fingers before it rotated along the
smooth table and slid in front of the beta.

“Alright then.” Lu Shangjin leaned sideways against the bar. He held the
rim of the empty wine glass and asked, “When did you learn how to mix
drinks?”

Yan Yi was a little surprised. Lu Shangjin never cared about these trivial
matters before, so there was not much they could talk about.

Because what Yan Yi did every day were trivial matters.

“When I was training at PBB. There’s everything at the base, and I had
nothing to do after training.” Yan Yi shook the liquor blender and spoke
easily, “In fact, I’ve learned some foreign languages, but it’s a pity I can’t
use them, I’ve probably forgotten most of it.”

The well-behaved and obedient lop-eared rabbit guard by his side; besides
having amazing skills on the battlefield, Lu Shangjin had never really
understood the many other outstanding areas that he had.
He was attracted by various other attractive omegas outside, but neglected
Yan Yi beside him, inexplicably burying the small treasure.

Lu Shangjin held onto his heart.

Without knowing why, he thought that the little rabbit wearing a waistcoat
in front of him looked better than before.

“What else did you learn?” Lu Shangjin was quite interested so he chatted
with Yan Yi.

“I learned some western instruments, but I don’t have much talent, so I

stopped practicing after that.” Yan Yi said this. In fact, training at the base
was cruel, the pain was worse than the memories.

However, some lovely people would naturally forget about cruel things
easily and were used to remembering beautiful things.

The clock pointed to three o’clock in the morning. Gu Wei turned off the
live broadcast before sprawling on the soft sofa while hugging his guitar
and dozed off with his mouth open. The customers in the shop thinned,
groups of twos and threes yawned wearily as they held liquor bottles.

Yan Yi lied on the bar counter as sleepiness hit him. His little rabbit ears
bounced boredly on the counter top, settling down, bouncing up, then
settling down again.

Lu Shangjin didn’t get up until the evening today, so he became the only
energetic idler in the bar.

Strolling around in the bar, he found a familiar postcard on the message

wall.

He had long forgotten that he and Yan Yi had written this postcard together,
so he was stunned when he saw the familiar handwriting.

‘Yan Yan, I love you until my last breath.’

Lu Shangjin pressed his fingers onto the written lines left by the ball-point
pen across the white card, as though he could still feel the distant
temperature from ten years ago.

He frowned.

It proved that the traces of youth and inexperience they once had actually
remained until now. It looked like something embarrassing they did when
they were young and he felt a little uncomfortable.

But Yan Yi must have remembered.

That little rabbit liked to remember these trivial things.

Yan Yi was lying on the bar, about to fall asleep from flinging his ears
around, when suddenly he heard the faint sound of a piano. The sound was
silent, but it vibrated his eardrums gently.

Lu Shangjin was sitting in front of the grand piano in the corner, his long
and slender hands with distinct joints pressing gently onto the keys.

These hands no longer belonged to the little prince in the piano room from
ten years ago. The fingers were covered with calluses from holding guns,
and the back of his hands were covered with old scars, but these fingers
were still jumping over the black and white keys as flexibly and simply as
they did when he was a teenager.

The tune was 《Luv Letter》 .

Gu Wei, who had always been sensitive to music, suddenly woke up. At
first, when he saw Lu Shangjin sitting in front of the piano, he was very
disdainful, but after listening for a while, he leaned against the wall with his
guitar and his fingertips tapped to the rhythm.

Yan Yi sat up and looked at Lu Shangjin in front of the piano with his
mouth slightly open. He walked over in a daze and stood beside him,
listening quietly.

His eyes moistened with a layer of water.

Lu Shangjin turned around and hooked his fingers at him, took Yan Yi’s
hand, and pulled him into his arms.

“Do you know this one?” Lu Shangjin leaned his head to the side and
kissed his forehead.

Yan Yi nodded, his hands trembling on the keys. He only pressed a note but
couldn’t help sniffing.

Lu Shangjin smiled lightly and wiped his tears. “Alright. Sit down and I’ll
play it for you.”

He played until Yan Yi fell asleep in his arms from listening. Lu Shangjin
carried him gently and stood up, leaning his head on his shoulder. The little
rabbit ears were squeezed until they wrinkled.

When passing Gu Wei on the sofa, Gu Wei lowered his voice and asked,
“Are you his alpha?

Lu Shangjin raised his eyebrows, “What else?”

Gu Wei leaned over to pick up the liquor bottles on the ground, speaking
thoughtlessly, “He likes you so much that all his stories are related to you,
it’s like he hasn’t grown up, living in a fairy tale. I don’t know if he’s stupid
or cute.”

Lu Shangjin looked down at the little rabbit’s defenseless sleeping face,

frowning and smiling. He carried him to the second floor, stripped his
clothes and tucked him into the quilt lightly.

It was only then that his phone showed a dozen missed calls, all from his
assistant.

He had left the company for several days and had to go back.

Turning around to look at the little rabbit curled up as he slept, Lu Shangjin

sat by the bed and stroked his hair.
 Chap 28

In the early hours of the morning, the empty villa was silent and none of the
lights were turned on. The living room was so pitch-dark that an
outstretched hand couldn’t even be seen.

The rain outside pounded on the glass, and suddenly a flash of lightning
split through the night sky. Through the French windows, the whole living
room illuminated as if it were day.

Yan Yi was huddled in the corner of the sofa as he held an eiderdown quilt.
His rabbit ears were covered over his head, and the tip of his nose was
quivering.

The line had tripped, but Yan Yi didn’t dare to repair it.

Holding the eiderdown quilt tightly, he looked forward to dawn. He would

repair the electric switch as soon as the sky turned light.

Suddenly, he heard rustling at the door. Lu Shangjin threw the umbrella in

his hand away and impatiently tore off his soaked coat, tossing it at the
table, “Why don’t you turn on the lights?”

He couldn’t see anything in the dark, so he turned on the flashlight of his

phone

Yan Yi ran over barefoot with the eiderdown quilt in his arms, opening his
eyes wide and clear to look at him as though he had seen his saviour.

He answered in a whisper, “The thunderstorm is too strong, it tripped.”

“Oh, get someone to fix it tomorrow. Forget it, I’m not working tomorrow,
I’ll fix it.” Lu Shangjin went into the bathroom to change out of his soaked
shirt. Yan Yi followed him, holding the eiderdown quilt and standing
barefoot outside the door to wait for him.

After enduring for a long time, he finally put down the eiderdown quilt and
walked into the bathroom. He hugged Lu Shangjin from behind and gently
encircled his arms around his waist, pressing close to him, his body slightly
trembling.

Lu Shangjin paused what he was doing. He wiped his hands dry and turned
back to hug him, patting his back and caressed him gently.

The little rabbit liked it a lot, so he stuffed his whole body into Lu
Shangjin’s arms.

“Do you have the need for touch1, Yan Yan?” Lu Shangjin patted him
gently, “You’re already nineteen years old, not a baby bunny anymore.”

Burying his head and fluffy little rabbit ears in Lu Shangjin’s arms, Yan Yi
shuddered, “I do have the need for touch, yes. I’m a baby bunny.”

“Okay, baby.” Lu Shangjin lowered his head to kiss the tip of his nose in the
pitch-dark bathroom, then carried him to the bath, “Wash up and go to bed.”

There was a spare power supply in the bath, and a dim little wall light was
turned on.

To avoid the water, Yan Yi wore a transparent bathing cap to cover his
rabbit ears. He sat in the square bathtub with his back leaning in Lu
Shangjin’s arms, and looked up to complain, “You have to come back early
when there’s a thunderstorm.”

“Alright.” Lu Shangjin soaked a piece of sea salt bath bar, the palm of his
hand gently stroked Yan Yi’s smooth skin and occasionally passed over
several gunshot scars.

Lu Shangjin turned around and pressed Yan Yi onto the edge of the bathtub.
Holding his beck from behind, he kissed Yan Yi with his head turned to the
side, “Do you want to do it here? You’ll feel uncomfortable.”
“It’s okay, I miss you.” Yan Yi shook his little tail invitingly at Lu Shangjin.

After lingering in the bathroom for more than two hours, Lu Shangjin
carried the little rabbit, who had been blown dried, back to the bedroom.

From childhood to adulthood, falling asleep in these warm arms was the
most joyful thing to Yan Yi. At first, the only thing that gave him
unprecedented warmth was Lu Shangjin. This warmth occupied Yan Yi’s
childhood, took root and sprouted when he was young, then blossomed and
bore fruit when he turned seventeen years old.

——

In the afternoon, he woke up in a pair of warm arms. The light wind outside
the window brushed the fluff on his rabbit ears.

Lu Shangjin put his hand by the bedside to read the documents on his
phone, while holding Yan Yi against his shoulder with the other hand.

“You’re awake.” Lu Shangjin put down his phone. He leaned over to hold
Yan Yi’s cheek and kissed him on the forehead, “Good morning.”

Yan Yi stared at him with wide eyes, he then silently pushed his arms away
and sat up.

He was wearing only a shirt and his tail ball was flattened.

Lu Shangjin sat up as well. He stretched out and took the kettle from the
bedside table and poured a glass of water for Yan Yi.

With a guilty conscience, Yan Yi took the cup and sipped the water,
moistening his throat.

Was last night a dream?

He drooped his eyelids to recall. Last night, the one playing the piano with
Yan Yi in his arms, was it the Lu Shangjin in front of him, or the phantom
in his dream? Or, was he actually in a dream now, and had never woken up?
Lu Shangjin pulled Yan Yi onto his lap and put his hands over his tummy,
“What are you thinking about?”

Yan Yi avoided Lu Shangjin’s intimate gaze and put the cup of water back
on the bedside table, “I’m thinking about…why have you suddenly changed
your temper?’

Lu Shangjin held Yan Yi’s cheek to look at himself and whispered in a

slightly hoarse voice, “Then, do you still like me?”

Yan Yi pursed his lips in hesitation.

“What are you thinking about.” Lu Shangjin lowered his head and pressed
close to the corner of his lips.

He didn’t like such hesitation. His little rabbit should tell him that he loves
him, full of adoration and infatuation.

Yan Yi’s body trembled. The deep and sexy teasing voice in the ear could
make one’s bones turn soft, let alone for a rabbit with little willpower.

Lu Shangjin held his face and kissed his soft lips in a vile manner, holding
his small waist close to him with both hands.

Yan Yi reached out to hoop his arms around Lu Shangjin’s back, his fluffy
tail ball trembling lightly in the palm of Lu Shangjin’s hand.

Let me keep dreaming, I don’t want to wake up again.

“I have to go back to the office, there are a lot of things left to do.” Lu
Shangjin held onto Yan Yi’s hands, “Will you go back with me?”

Yan Yi lifted his eyelashes, his eyes appearing a little lost, and his tail
stopped moving.

Lu Shangjin was very familiar with omegas’ expressions. He could feel Yan
Yi’s reluctance and hesitation through subtle observation.
“Go busy yourself.” Yan Yi climbed out of Lu Shangjin’s lap and tidied up
the quilt.

“Then you have to protect yourself, understand?” Lu Shangjin touched the

little tail that Yan Yi puckered up, “Call me if anything happens.”

Unexpectedly, Lu Shangjin didn’t force him to go back.

Yan Yi was a little surprised.

Lu Shangjin handed Yan Yi the card from before, “There’s only one million
in it. Come find me after spending it, okay?”

He was using this way to cheat the contract. Yan Yi didn’t take it and
focused on tidying the bedroom, “You gave all your omegas unlimited
balance, why do I only have one million?”

Lu Shangjin smiled, “Because I don’t want them to keep bothering me for

money. In fact, you just need to come to me and I’ll give you anything.”

This reason actually sounded particularly crooked.

But Yan Yi felt at least a little better.

He took the card which had a butterfly-shaped sticker and the password
written on it.

The password was a very common string of numbers, it’s not anyone’s
birthday nor any meaningful day.

This wasn’t a mistake that a love veteran like Lu Shangjin would make.

Yan Yi quickly concluded that this card wasn’t Lu Shangjin’s, but he still
kept it and didn’t think about the reason in his mind anymore, and even less
that he would investigate it thoroughly, for fear that he would think too
deeply and turn a good dream into a nightmare.

This had always been the case.

“I’m leaving.” Lu Shangjin hugged Yan Yi as he pried his lips open
aggressively, reluctant to part, “Take good care of yourself, I’ll be back.”

His tone was very flat, just like it was when he left to go to work in the past,
but it made Yan Yi’s heart beat as he curved his eyes.

He threw the car keys to Lu Shangjin, “Go back.”

That’s the end of it. Some stories would always end at the best time,
because if it went on, it would become stale and birth into a fading
nightmare.

So Yan Yi didn’t pick up the pen to continue writing it.

He stood at the door and watched Lu Shangjin drive out of the stone-paved
alleyway in his black BMW, until even the last trace of dust and smoke
disappeared from sight.

Business hours hadn’t started yet. Gu Wei was sitting beside the window
sill, holding his cheek in a daze.

“Why don’t you go back with him?” Gu Wei tore open a piece of gummy
candy and put it into his mouth.

“Although that alpha is a little skr, he seems to be quite attracted to you.

Did you two just have a fight? It can’t be that simple.”

Yan Yi sat on the high stool by the door and leaned against the door frame
to chat with Gu Wei, “We’re divorced, and he washed off the mark on my
body. I’m actually quite fragile, maybe I’ve gone crazy after being
abandoned twice.”

“You see how considerate he is now. But he still doesn’t want to mark me.”

Gu Wei was stunned for a moment. He looked out at the empty road and
hummed 《Tell The Truth》.

Yan Yi hit him with a piece of gummy, “Change the song.”

Gu Wei avoided the candy and stuck out his tongue as he laughed, “I’m
your boss, I can sing whatever I want.”

Yan Yi couldn’t help but dust his rabbit ears and looked down at his phone.

There were many missed calls from an unknown number.

And a text message:

‘Yan Yi, please answer my phone call. I have something important to tell
you, really.’

Yan Yi chewed the gummy candy and scrolled through with his head down.

“It’s that little lion again, kids these days are so persistent.”

皮肤饥渴症: mothers’ caress for toddlers to promote healthy development,

can be used between lovers and spouses too (to meet more nurturing and
psychologically secure needs)
 Chap 29

An Fei Ya hospital was very busy today. A black BMW 760Li, a Panamera,
and a Ferrari 612 were parked at the entrance.

At the innermost side of the conference room on the third floor of the
hospital, there was a coded door to the precision intensive care ward.
Fingerprint, voice print, iris and gait were needed to be detected through the
access-control. The four types of identity verification would eliminate all
possible accidental intrusion.

Three big men were standing around an infant incubator in observation.

The pink and wrinkly baby was sleeping on his back. A thin layer of white
skin covered his body, and the umbilical cord had fallen off, revealing a
small pink belly button.

Bi Ruijing held the incubator with both hands, his cuffs were rolled up to
reveal a string of distinctive blue branding on his muscular forearm: PBB-
000026.

He stared at the baby with a quivering gaze, “He’s very good looking.
Uncle had always been beautiful in his life, his child will grow up to be the
same.”

Ye Wan was once Bi Ruijing’s captain. To Bi Ruijing, being suddenly

informed that the captain who had died for many years had just passed a
week ago, was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky blowing straight to the
head. It took him a long time to comprehend it.

Xia Pingtian hung his hand on the back of the sofa and crossed his legs.
With an unlit cigarette in his mouth, he fiddled with the metal cover of the
lighter, making a tinkling sound, “Lu Lin went back to PBB headquarters a
few days ago. He’s raising a monster and is continuously doing
differentiation guidance, if one day his development succeeds, it’s estimated
to be invincible.”

“He’s already gone insane.” Lu Shangjin lifted his head and closed his eyes,
“I’ll kill him sooner or later.”

“The state of this child has not been very good,” Xia Pingtian glanced at the
incubator, “Maybe he’ll have a shorter life, maybe there will be other
diseases. I’ve been trying my best to treat him. If you have resources, please
contact me.”

“Thanks a lot.” Lu Shangjin sat on the sofa with his elbows on his knees
and kneaded the bridge of his nose continuously, looking extremely
fatigued. He could barely muster the energy to take a closer look at the
baby, touching his little hand through the glass.

He was a beautiful alpha boy.

Lu Shangjin couldn’t help thinking of Yan Yi. He imagined that if Yan Yi

was pregnant, he would wear a loose white shirt, sitting quietly on a soft
bed, his belly arched out in a round arc and lift his face towards him with a
quiet smile.

He had gotten into bed with all kinds of omegas, but what made Lu
Shangjin have the illusion of a “family”, was only Yan Yi.

In fact, Lu Shangjin didn’t really care about the child’s gender and
differentiation potential. He suddenly felt that, if he started a family with
Yan Yi, their child would perhaps be a little white rabbit as soft as Yan Yi,
and with their little rabbit ears bouncing in reply, they would call him daddy
in a lovely and sweet way.

For the first time, this gave Lu Shangjin a new longing for a “family”.

He suddenly missed Yan Yi and regretted that he didn’t insist on bringing

him back, so that he could see him as soon as he got home.
Recently, he would always hold an inexplicable expectation when he went
home. When he remembered the fact that Yan Yi wasn’t at home, he would
be extremely upset.

Seeing that he was in a dispirited mood, Lu Shangjin’s former young master

friends sent over some omegas that suited his taste, but they were all sent
back fully intact.

Lu Shangjin wasn’t in the mood.

Now he just wanted to touch the rabbit’s tail that was like a soft fur ball.

Xia Pingtian felt so suffocated that he walked out of the precision intensive
care ward for a smoke. Xia Jingtian was leaning against the wall to wait for
him.

“Ge, check this license plate number for me,” Xia Jingtian handed his
brother a note with a license plate.

Xia Pingtian took the note and looked at it. It was a string of familiar
numbers.

“You fucking son of a bitch.” Xia Pingtian lowered his voice as he pushed
Xia Jingtian to the corner, “Why do you want to check Lu Shangjin’s car
for?”

“I need to find Yan Yi, I have something important to tell him, he’s not
answering any of my calls.” Xia Jingtian’s eyes were clear and sincere, “It’s
really very important, please help me this once.”

Xia Pingtian looked at his little brother’s expression of weakness, and his
heart loosened up.

This kid has had a stubborn temper since he was young and rarely showed
weakness to others, but he had begged him over and over again for an
omega.

“Tell me the truth first.” Xia Pingtian crushed the cigarette butt and
straightened Xia Jingtian’s collar, “What step did you go to with that lop-
eared rabbit omega? Speak honestly, just tell me.”

“I really didn’t do anything, I only touched his back.” Xia Jingtian pulled
his brother’s hand and put it at the back of his own neck, “Feel it, it’s all
needle holes from inhibitors. I was beside Yan Yi when I had my rut, I
would’ve done anything if I wanted to and there wouldn’t be a need to
inject so many inhibitors.”

Xia Pingtian knew his temperament. Jingtian never lied to him before,
because he was not afraid of anything at all and did not bother to find
reasons to lie. Besides, he couldn’t do anything to this darling little brother
of his, he couldn’t beat him nor could he scold him.

“Tsk.” Xia Pingtian opened his collar to take a look, and even felt heartache
towards this baby’s swelling on the skin. He was allowed to become the
little emperor who could summon wind and call for rain and sit at home to
do nothing, but instead of doing so, he suffered grievances by running to the
rabbit’s nest whom had been fucked by someone for over ten years. What
had he become, for liking someone to this extent?

“Is your compatibility fit high?” Xia Pingtian guessed. After all, alphas are
more used to following fit attraction when looking for a mate. Jingtian was
still young, it’s understandable for him to be misled by the degree of
compatibility fit.

“Mn.” Xia Jingtian nodded, “It’s not tested before, but from visual
estimation, it’s more than ninety.”

“Oh, so high.” On the contrary, Xia Pingtian was relieved. With his
methods, he could think of a way to get another omega with a higher degree
of fit for Jingtian to play with. There were many omegas who were in a
hurry to sell themselves for money and relationships.

Before that, he could let his little brother meet the rabbit in his dreams again
and consider it as fulfilling his wish. His little brother was hot-tempered and
domineering on the outside, but was very sensible and knew what to do or
what not to do.
Moreover, that rabbit was Lu Shangjin’s little lover. He dared not betray Lu
Shangjin in this relationship even if he was given a thousand courage.

After all, everyone in this circle knew that Lu Shangjin hated betrayal the
most. As long as Lu Shangjin did not propose to end the relationship, none
of the omegas who had followed him in the past dared to find another man
behind his back, even if their heat periods were so empty that they were
dying of hunger and thirst. No one could afford to suffer the consequences.

“Fine.” Xia Pingtian put the note into his pocket, “This is the last time.
Clear up your thoughts and come back, and don’t cause trouble for others.”

Xia Jingtian stared reluctantly at Lu Shangjin’s back leaving the precision

intensive care ward.

“Mn.’

——

The most lively time at Ruins Bar was eight to nine o’clock, becoming a
party for insomniacs and night walkers alike.

At three in the morning, business in the bar thinned out. Yan Yi was lying
on the bar as he yawned.

His phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. He woke up with a start, took it
out and glanced; it was Lu Shangjin’s video call.

He barely hesitated before pressing the button to answer. It’s too late to
even regret it.

Honey-coloured chest muscles appeared on the screen. Lu Shangjin

adjusted the angle and flipped the picture to aim at the addictive and
enchanting face.

It seemed that he had just taken a shower, his hair was curled and dripping.

Yan Yi froze, his little rabbit ears cocked up to block his eyes.
“Hey baobei, are you off from work?” Lu Shangjin’s slightly hoarse voice
made the ending tone tantalizing when it came through the phone receiver,
“You haven’t gone to bed yet.”

“I…haven’t got off work.” Yan Yi lied on the table with his small pointed
chin against the top. He raised his almond-shaped eyes, silently tracing the
handsome and slightly cold face on the screen.

“Did you miss me?” Lu Shangjin asked.

Yan Yi was silent, but the slight curl of his lips betrayed him in advance.

Lu Shangjin smiled, “I miss you too. I saw a kid holding cotton candy when
I was on the way home today.”

“Then I thought about you, how your little tail is soft and cute when I hold
it in my hand, and even has a light scent of milk candy.”

Yan Yi leaned out of sight. It’s extremely hard to resist such an enthusiastic
lovers’ conversation on the phone.

He had to deviate from the subject, “You…dry your hair before you go to
bed. Or you’ll catch a cold.”

At that moment, the angle of the image on the screen looked extremely
good. Yan Yi cropped out the image.

——

Gu Wei picked up the liquor bottles littered on the ground as he glanced at

Yan Yi.

A little embarrassed, Yan Yi looked back at Gu Wei hastily. He pointed at

his phone and hurried up to the second floor, “I-I’m off work now.”

“…”

Gu Wei picked up a broom and flung it 360 degrees around his neck in a
cool way, he then swept the floor and sang to 《The Heart Is Too Soft》.
 Chap 30

Lu Shangjin wiped his dripping hair with a towel, bent one leg against the
bedside, and held the phone in one hand. His usual cold eyebrows appeared
a little more gentle, looking at the little rabbit across the screen as though he
was looking at a small pet.

On the screen, Yan Yi was about to change his clothes. Just as he put the
phone on the bed, Lu Shangjin lifted the corner of his lips, the faint yellow
wall lamp making the outline of his face more three-dimensional, “I want to
see you change your clothes.”

“What’s there…so good to see…you’ve seen all of me before.” The skin

under the soft fluff of his rabbit ears abruptly filled with blood and turned
pink. Yan Yi hurriedly hid where Lu Shangjin couldn’t see and changed out
of his work clothes.

He picked up the phone and didn’t know how to end this video call, but
subconsciously, he didn’t want to end it.

“How stingy, I’ll take mine off to show you then.” Lu Shangjin smiled,
untying his bathrobe and threw it aside before changing into the dark blue
pyjamas beside his pillow.

The gunshot scars on Lu Shangjin’s body were no less than Yan Yi’s. When
he was young, he used these scars as medals of merit, and loved to fight for
power and strength.

He had a tall build, with an inverted triangle back connecting to a strong,

thin waist and abdomen. He turned sideways to the screen to put on his
pyjamas. When he raised his arms, the exposed shark muscle lines on his
ribs were also carved with several messy scars.
Yan Yi suddenly clenched the sleeves of his pyjamas, his fingernails
inadvertently digging into his palm.

Lu Shangjin had suffered these deep wounds for him.

Yan Yi had once fought against six M2 differentiated alphas. Even with the
A3 top-grade differentiated glands, as he was too young and inexperienced,
he was extremely strained when he had to pick on six, so he was strangled
by one of the alphas and thrown in front of a ground roller.

The rollers were installed with long spikes, and it had sent Yan Yi flying.

The moment when he was almost grinded into minced meat, Lu Shangjin
held him and rolled out, several long spikes scraping the side of his chest
and ribs. At the time, the wound was so deep that his bones were visible,
fresh blood dripping out unstoppably.

——

Lu Shangjin noticed that the little rabbit on the other side of the screen was
wandering in his thoughts, so he snapped his fingers to attract Yan Yi’s
attention again.

“Yan Yan, it’s so cold at home, when are you coming back?” Lu Shangjin
asked the question plainly and gently, seeming to have no implications of
forcing Yan Yi. However, Yan Yi could always feel an invisible oppressive
force coming on directly.

“If we get together again, will you give me a baby?” Lu Shangjin asked
very sincerely, even the subtle light in his eyes was clearly visible.

Yan Yi’s heart drummed loudly, the beat making his chest ache.

A baby.

He was having one now. But he just didn’t dare to tell him, afraid that he
couldn’t bear the unexpected reaction.
“The conception rate between us was low before, and even if I have a child,
they may not be the alpha heir you want.” Yan Yi’s eyelids drooped as he
cautiously tested Lu Shangjin’s attitude.

If possible, Yan Yi definitely hoped for the alpha in his heart to accompany
him during his pregnancy, and at the same time, he didn’t want the child to
be born without an alpha father.

Lu Shangjin said gently, “I don’t care. As long as it’s our child, I will like
it.”

These words were too destructive to a pregnant omega who had no one to
depend on, he almost fell into the enemy’s hands when he heard it.

Yan Yi almost blurted out to Lu Shangjin that he was pregnant.

These days, Lu Shangjin seems to have really changed. Even though he still
appeared as domineering as before in some areas, he was indeed very
considerate in every possible way, greatly matching up to the best alpha in
Yan Yi’s heart.

Maybe he could try to trust him once more. If Lu Shangjin treated him
coldly again, he could choose to leave when the time comes.

As Yan Yi was about to speak, the screen suddenly flashed with a call.

He wanted to hang up, but he hastily pressed to answer instead.

Xia Jingtian’s voice wasn’t very clear through the sound of car horns, “I’m
about to reach the bar where you are, come out and pick me up. Hey, fuck!
Don’t you know how to drive, idiot!”

The look on Yan Yi’s face changed slightly, and the phone had already hung
up.

The display on Lu Shangjin’s side was frozen for a while. It wasn’t until
Yan Yi hung up Xia Jingtian’s call that it returned to normal.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Did you get a call?”

Yan Yi’s expression was a little restrained as he still tried to answer flatly,
“It’s an insurance seller. You…dry your hair and sleep early, I’m heading to
bed too.”

“Selling insurance at three in the middle of the night?” Lu Shangjin

narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing the subtle change in Yan
Yi’s eyes.

Intentionally or not, the little rabbit was dodging his gaze, “…Is it
inconceivable?”

“Oh.” Lu Shangjin wasn’t very happy. Originally, he was in high spirits and
intended to have telephone sex with Yan Y, but was suddenly interrupted by
a phone call from an unknown source.

“Then you should go to bed earlier too.” Lu Shangjin’s temper was also
caught in a few short words, and he hung up the phone.

Yan Yi saw that Lu Shangjin seemed angry, but didn’t know how to coax or
comfort him. He pursed his lips in distress for a moment, then first called
Xia Jingtian, put on his coat, and went out to meet him.

When he went downstairs, Xia Jingtian was already waiting at the bar as he
rubbed his face repeatedly to drive away his tiredness. After driving for
about ten hours with only two breaks in between, he had already become
part of driving fatigue.

As soon as he saw Yan Yi come down from the second floor, Xia Jingtian
stood up abruptly and rushed up to him, pulling him into his arms. For most
of the time, he had seen that Yan Yi was very weak, so almost as a
conditional reflex, he released soothing pheromones in an instant.

The one who lunged forward was an M2 differentiated puma alpha. The
race of lop-eared rabbits had some innate fear of fierce beasts in their
bones, even towards Lu Shangjin.

At the sight of him rushing towards himself, Yan Yi subconsciously

protected his stomach and his body tightened, not daring to move.
The soothing pheromones released by an alpha with a high compatibility fit
and the soothing pheromones released by an alpha with an ordinary
compatibility fit felt completely different to the omega.

If it were Gu Wei, who only had about 65% compatibility fit with Yan Yi,
the soothing pheromones he released had little effect on him.

Lu Shangjin’s compatibility fit with Yan Yi was 75%, which was a very
common value, but not considered particularly low. In addition, he had once
marked Yan Yi before, so the soothing pheromones he released made Yan
Yi feel very comfortable and safe.

However, Xia Jingtian was different.

His compatibility fit with Yan Yi was over 90. In other words, the soothing
pheromones he released was like a powerful drug to him. As long as he was
close to Xia Jingtian, Yan Yi had to consume most of the spirit to resist the
fit attraction that was as sticky as a spider’s web, afraid that if he was not
careful, he would be completely addicted to the land of warmth and
tenderness, and wouldn’t be able to extricate himself.

Therefore, he had to completely cut off all contact with Xia Jingtian. Xia
Jingtian coming to find him was like heroin sent voluntarily to the nose
when the addiction to drugs was driving one to the point of insanity.

“Let go of me.” Yan Yi spent a lot of effort pushing Xia Jingtian away and
he panted rapidly, “Put your pheromones…away…”

Yan Yi’s glands had recovered to the J1 grade, and his heat period had just
ended, so there was still the lingering warmth of courting pheromones
surrounding his body. The greater the recovery, the higher the pheromone
concentration, and the reaction towards Xia Jingtian’s pheromones became
more intense.

Xia Jingtian was able to resist the thoughts of dissolving Yan Yi into his
body. He held onto the bar counter and forcefully pinched his own arm,
letting the pain drive him awake.
Fortunately, the two of them were of high grade and their self control was
strong enough that they didn’t get out of hand.

“What are you looking for me for?” Yan Yi asked wearily. All his energy
was used to resist the fit attraction.

At that moment, he was also thinking that if he and Lu Shangjin could have
such a compatible fit, how could their love become so exhausting and
humbled as it was now?

Facing such a strong fit attraction, Yan Yi also wavered.

But he had been subconsciously carrying it on his shoulders and was

unmoved.

“What did Lu Shangjin do to you?” Xia Jingtian looked Yan Yi up and

down. Only after seeing that there were no injuries on his body and he
didn’t appear sick, he could be a little relieved.

“He didn’t do anything.” Yan Yi managed to force a polite smile with

difficulty. He then went to the bar to make a cup of refreshing and thirst-
quenching mint tea for Xia Jingtian.

This little kid had helped him a lot. Although his warm and sincere pursuit
made Yan Yi feel pressured, Xia Jingtian had been the only one who was
with Yan Yi during his most difficult time.

He should at least be grateful. Moreover, there was nothing wrong with a

child’s affection.

XIa Jingtian picked up the mint tea, his Adam’s apple rolled up and down
before he asked hesitantly, “How’s your- body recently?”

“My body?” Yan Yi opened his hand, “I’ve mostly recovered.”

“No, the baby…how is it?” On the way, Xia Jingtian had typed up a draft of
a full length novel, but in front of Yan Yi, he still didn’t know how to tell
him about the false pregnancy.
Yan Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes immediately turned gentle like a
pool of clear flowing water had poured in. He touched his tummy gently,
“Baby- is very good.”

The rest of Xia Jingtian’s words were stuck in his throat.

“Why don’t you go to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup? You don’t have
to be scared, I’ll go with you.” Xia Jingtian’s hands that were holding the
mint tea couldn’t help but exert some strength.

He still couldn’t bear to see Yan Yi’s disappointed look. After all, he was so
looking forward to having a baby.
 Chap 31

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shangjin stayed by the bedside for a while.

He went to the rooftop and leaned against the railing to smoke a cigarette,
then glanced at the time. It was already four o’clock in the morning, and it
would be light in a while.

When he finished the cigarette, Lu Shangjin suddenly kicked over the small
round table on the roof, forcefully stepped on the foot of the engraved table,
and muttered “fuck”.

As if out of strength, he sat down and leaned against the carved fence, his
back facing the whole starry sky.

Why was he so agitated?

Did the charge balance of this house fail? Why was it so fucking cold with
the lack of one person?

It was the second time that this kind of irritable and restless feeling
appeared. The first was the period of time after he broke up with Yan Yi.

Hence, when Yan Yi came running back and solemnly vowed to be the
butler of the villa, Lu Shangjin didn’t refuse.

When the passionate hormones gradually cooled down to bland waters, it

seemed that they wanted to restore the feelings that had already
extinguished, but couldn’t raise the interest they once had that year.

He would only selfishly leave Yan Yi by his side as a pot of Devil’s Ivy
plant to decorate the yard in the garden. He was used to seeing him, but he
would be absolutely unbridled and turn a blind eye to him.
When he went back to the bedroom, he swept the thin quilt and bathrobe
onto the ground in a disorderly manner, then fished out his phone. With one
hand involuntarily holding the glands at the back of his neck, he
continuously scrolled through his contact list with the other.

Most of the omegas who had contact with him had no names, only serial
numbers like 1, 2 and 3. Lu Shangjin scrolled down to the bottom of the
contact list but there wasn’t any serial number that he could pick from.

He selected one then deleted one, and in the end, he deleted almost all of his
contacts, but he still couldn’t find anyone he wanted.

When he came back to his senses, his fingers had already unconsciously
dialed Yan Yi’s number.

Lu Shangjin was a little discomfited as he sat on the carpet, waiting for the
wait tone on the phone to pass one sound at a time.

Thirty years passed since he was born, yet it was only now that knew that
this was what it felt like to wait for someone to answer the phone. He
couldn’t tell whether it was anticipation or agitation, or maybe it was both,
or maybe it was the sudden absence of something that he was used to, but
he couldn’t find it back.

The other party answered when he waited until the sixth waiting tone.

“What’s the matter?” Yan Yi’s voice was very clear. It seemed that he
hadn’t slept yet.

Lu Shangjin breathed out a sigh of relief. That agitated feeling of ants

crawling over his heart faded by half. He lifted the corners of his lips and
said with a smile:

“I can’t sleep.”

Yan Yi let out an “ah” in surprise. He walked to the bathroom, leaning

against the door to listen to the young master who had insomnia in the
middle of the night making a willful speech.
“Haven’t slept yet.” The receiver couldn’t filter out the softness in Yan Yi’s
voice, “Just now- were you angry?”

Lu Shangjin leaned against the bed calmly, stretching his long legs and
crossing them on the carpet, “I wasn’t angry.”

But he was unhappy.

Yan Yi: “I’m…hearing that your voice is hoarse. Smoke less.”

Lu Shangjin conveniently stubbed the cigarette he had just lit in his mouth
into the ashtray to extinguish it, and said lightly, “I didn’t smoke, the
weather’s just too dry. Are you not in bed? Where are you?”

Yan Yi hesitated as he held his phone. He was currently in the bathroom at

the lobby of the bar, while Xia Jingtian was by the bar counter.

Lu Shangjin seemed to have keenly caught on to something and suddenly

straightened up, “Is there another alpha beside you?”

Yan Yi sighed, “Go to bed quickly, I have to work tomorrow.”

Lu Shangjin’s anger from his video call being interrupted earlier suddenly
came up, “I’m asking you if there’s someone else beside you.”

Yan Yi was intimidated, “Don’t be so loud.”

“I’m warning you, don’t get together with others when I’m not around.” Lu
Shangjin’s tone rose increasingly without his control. He firmly pressed
onto the glands at the back of his neck, gripping the phone as though he
wanted to squeeze the little rabbit in the phone to death.

“What do you mean get together? Why? Why can’t I do it but you can?” Lu
Shangjin brought out the feeling of resentment Yan Yi had. He had just used
all his willpower to throw off an M2 alpha’s hand. If it were Lu Shangjin,
would he push away an omega that was sent into his arms?

“You can try.” Lu Shangjin first loosened up, but he still didn’t want to fall
out of the conversation with Yan Yi and said harshly, “I won’t mess with
you, I’ll mess with him.”

Just as one’s own porcelain cannot be stained with the fingerprints of

outsiders, Lu Shangjin couldn’t stand Yan Yi being tinged with the scent of
other alphas.

Let alone that Yan Yi was working at a husky alpha’s shop. It’s just that he
subconsciously thought that the husky wasn’t a threat to him; low grade,
plain and ordinary looking, and had no outstanding abilities.

“Is that dog circling around you?” Lu Shangjin said harshly, “I’ll send
someone over to buy that street tomorrow, you can be at any shop you
want.”

Of course, if he guessed it right, a dead dog would also appear on the street.

“My boss went to bed long ago. You’re always like this.” Yan Yi’s voice
became exhausted and disappointed, “I don’t want to argue with you, I’m
going to bed.”

Lu Shangjin softened his approach again, “It’s good if there isn’t any. I’ll
come find you in a few days.”

After a pause of about ten seconds, neither of them hung up. It seemed that
they wanted to say something else, but couldn’t find another topic.

Lu Shangjin hung up irritably and flushed his face with cold water in the
bathroom.

He then drew out two inhibitors from the medical kit behind the mirror, bit
open the seal, and stabbed it into the glands at the back of his neck.

He held the basin with both hands. In the mirror, streaks of veins crawled in
his eyes. The stubble on his chin was also not carefully shaved. These days,
he had been living like the synopsis of a book, the details in his life thrown
behind his head.

Taking three deep breaths, Lu Shangjin closed his eyes and laughed bitterly.
Little goblin.

He hadn’t injected inhibitors for many years, so he had forgotten this type
of numbness and slight pain, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

When he put away the medical kit, he found a roll of unopened inhibitor
needles in the corner, each tube pasted with a cute sticky note in the shape
of a carrot to carefully distinguish them apart.

Lu Shangjin took a tube and looked at it. The needle of the syringe was
printed with the drug name “high concentration inhibitor”; for A3 glands,
mutation-enhanced glands, and glands resistant to prolonged injection of
inhibitors. Note: Intravenous injection should not be directly injected into
the gland.
 Chap 32

He suddenly froze, holding the syringe as he stood in front of the mirror

blankly.

In the past three years, the number of times he slept with Yan Yi could be
counted on one’s fingers. During his heats…did he rely on inhibitors and
struggled to hold on?

He had never thought about it.

In that quick moment, he recalled the needle holes on Yan Yi’s forearm, the
old and new needle holes covering one another. Because of the long-term
injections, there were pale blue lumps under the skin of his forearm.

Lu Shangjin gripped the syringe in his hand, gathered up all the inhibitors
with carrot sticky notes together and put them back into the bedroom
drawer.

He sat on the bed, his back hunched over like a shrimp as he held his head
and scratched his scalp forcibly.

Did he go too far with his manner towards Yan Yi just now?

Right, it must be because he’s in a rut, he couldn’t get rid of the irritability
of his rut and couldn’t control it.

——

Yan Yi waited for him to hang up the phone. After going back to the lobby,
he sat on the high stool and rubbed his temples, “Hurry and say whatever
you want to say.”
Xia Jingtian held the cup of mint tea that kept his palms warm, “Do you
know that rabbits can have false pregnancies?”

“False pregnancies?” Yan Yi was stunned.

He didn’t expect that this kid would suddenly talk about this.

“That is, if a rabbit omega is unconsciously touched on the back, there is a

probability of false pregnancy. The symptom is a small abdominal bulge
within three days, and according to what you told me, three days before you
got pregnant, it was the day I went to the hospital to see you.” Xia Jingtian
braced himself as he explained, “I really didn’t mean it. I saw that you were
in pain, I didn’t know rabbits would have false pregnancies.”

Yan Yi’s eyes widened, the phone in his hand slipped and fell to the floor
with a bang.

“But, the baby is clearly moving…” Yan Yi covered his stomach with both
hands, as if he was afraid that the child would be taken away. He suddenly
raised his eyes and looked at Xia Jingtian blankly.

Xia Jingtian was unable to say a word from Yan Yi’s questioning eyes that
were on the verge of collapse.

“…” Yan Yi jumped off the high stool and turned around to head upstairs.

“Go for a checkup at the hospital tomorrow. A rabbit’s false pregnancy is

very very harmful to the body. If you don’t believe me, go for a checkup
okay? Just treat it as a routine physical examination.” XIa Jingtian chased
after him, but was stopped by Yan Yi’s alienated gaze when he turned back.

“You drove for so long, you should rest early. Don’t bother me, I’ll go to the
hospital by myself if I want to.”

Yan Yi closed the bedroom door gently and stood against it for a while.

Feeling that his body had suddenly lost its strength, he slowly slid down
against the door and sat on the ground, burying his head in his arms.
“I clearly did it with Jin ge that day…” Yan Yi’s light grey eyes gradually
lost their light, yet holding on to a glimmer of hope to recall carefully.

Recalling that rough intercourse they had at the dining room, his vision
increasingly blurred.

He bit his lips firmly, biting out a ring of blood marks, and caressed the
slight bulge of his tummy.

“False pregnancy?” Yan Yi buried his head in his arms and silently fell into
a daze.

——

Meanwhile, a slender alpha spider was lying on his back on the brick roof
of Ruins bar. With his legs crossed, he was browsing an encrypted file on
his phone, and an indistinct photo of Yan Yi was on the upper right corner.

Shao Wenjing pillowed his hands as he stared at the screen leisurely. His
finger scrolled downward, and at the bottom of the document was a section
regarding the introduction of the lop-eared rabbit’s A3 glands and its black
market value.

“Look at what good news I’ve overheard.” Shao Wenjing lifted the corner
of his lips, a hint of evil in the corner of his peach blossom eyes.

“Surprisingly, it’s a false pregnancy, poor little bunny, tsk.”

 Chap 33

Xia Jingtian squatted outside Yan Yi’s room and stuck his hand on the door,
almost being able to feel Yan Yi’s sad mental state as he trembled close to
the door.

It’s just that he was holding strong in front of Xia Jingtian without losing
himself.

Xia Jingtian sat down with his back pressed against the bedroom door, then
pushed Yan Yi’s phone that fell at the lobby in his panic through the crack.
He tilted his head and pillowed his hands, looking at the flower-shaped
chandelier that attracted a small flying insect, and softly asked the little
rabbit in the door:

“Hey, do you like the baby, or do you just like Lu Shangjin’s baby?”

Leaning against the door, Yan Yi remained silent for a long time.

Xia Jingtian didn’t receive an answer after waiting for a while. The wooden
door against his back loosened a little, and the shadow under the door left.

He also stood up and sat down on the sofa at the lobby, looking down at his
phone screen. The photo on his lock screen was replaced with the three rose
stalks of the flowers that Yan Yi had eaten before.

He opened the map again to see the route to the nearest local obstetric
hospital.

In fact, the young master of Jiu’An Hong Ye was not good at taking care of
people, but he was self-taught after meeting Yan Yi.

——
Gu Wei was sitting on the swing in the garden on the second floor and
looking up at the stars. Through the open glass windows of the bedroom, he
saw Yan Yi nestled in bed, hugging the pillow as he lay on his side, and his
body was bowed like a thin and weak ball, while a small part of the pillow
next to his eye was wet.

He walked over and poked through the window, drew the curtains, and
closed the window for him. Yawning, he then went to bed in his own
bedroom.

“If you don’t fall in love, there’s no such thing as being forced.”

——

The next morning, a group of backpackers came into the shop. They came
to Nan Qi for a tour and were visiting this bar street. Yan Yi was unable to
get away, so he had to wait until tomorrow to go to the hospital.

On the third day, Gu Wei gave Yan Yi a day off.

After tidying up his bedroom, Yan Yi wrapped himself up in a grey

windbreaker– On this day he received his salary, Yan Yi spent the whole
morning on the street alone. The shop assistant lady enthusiastically praised
Yan Yi for simply looking like a clothes rack1. How did he look so good in
these clothes?

Yan Yi looked at himself in the mirror, his collarbones that became thin
protruding out. Maybe it was because the glandular dormancy injection had
not yet worn off its effect, so there was a faint abnormal look on his face.

“Does this- look good?” Yan Yi asked the shop assistant lady.

Under the indifferent gaze of the pair of light grey eyes, the melancholy
could be transmitted into the heart like temperature.

The shop assistant lady was stunned for a moment. Due to the habit of
carefully observing people’s expressions and words that arose from work,
she saw the wedding ring on Yan Yi’s ring finger, its surface polished to a
bright shine, so she said with a warm smile, “Of course you look good, your
husband will definitely like it.”

Hearing this, Yan Yi took a photo of himself while facing the fitting room
mirror. The melancholy in his eyes suddenly disappeared by half. His eyes
and eyebrows curved to look at himself in the mirror. It seemed that he felt
comfortable in his heart.

“Then put them in a bag.” His smile carried a pleasantly warm spring
breeze, seemingly looking like a different person from the one facing the
mirror just now.

The card that Lu Shangjin gave him was sandwiched in the notebook that
he scored Lu Shangjin in. A card was not as heavy as cash in his hand. It’s
light. He wouldn’t know when he would lose it and forget where he’d put it,
just like the feelings they had before, there was no guarantee.

So he had to take good care of it like any other gift.

Lu Shangjin had regained a high score of 689 points. When adding points,
Yan Yi would always add a big score without even thinking, but the
deduction of points would only be reduced one point at a time.

He didn’t wake Xia Jingtian, who was sleeping on the sofa, and took a taxi
to the nearest obstetrics hospital alone.

Yan Yi was tossing and turning all night, and there was blue-black under his
eyes. He supported his head against the door inside the car before rolling
down the car window, breathing in the slightly damp air from outside.

At the intersection waiting for the red lights in the city centre, there was an
aristocratic primary school where many luxury cars were parked at the gate
to see their children off. Several parents who were sending their children to
the door still couldn’t feel at ease, almost driving into the teaching building
to put their child onto the chair.

There was a child wearing the same style of formal attire without a special
car to send him off. He was carrying his school bag and crossing the street
to the school gates.

The red light was already over when he walked onto the sidewalk. After a
brief flashing of the yellow light, at the moment when the green light was
on, a left-turning van suddenly rushed out.

The little omega cried out and ran forward in fear.

But the green light was already on, and the dense traffic started. A silver
Volkswagon that just drove in slammed sharply on the brakes, the
screeching sound of the tires creating friction against the asphalt attracted
the attention of everyone on the road. The little omega was about to get
caught under the wheel.

Yan Yi pulled up from the roof with both hands and flipped out from the car
window. His figure was like a flash of lightning as he pulled the little
omega into his arms and rolled out from under the wheel.

For a moment, the sudden screeching sound of cars braking on the road
came one after another.

Yan Yi put the little omega at the school gates, then squatted down and
patted the dust from his little school attire.

The little omega was frozen with fright for a long time, then burst into tears
when Yan Yi patted his hair.

“Don’t cry.” Yan Yi wiped his tears. When his fingertips touched the jelly-
like milky white little cheeks, his fingers shrunk back in surprise.

This fragile little fellow was a little spider whose glands had awakened.

The little omega held Yan Yi’s hand as he cried until he was out of breath,
his milky white face turning red from holding back, like a crystal-clear
cherry.

“Why isn’t there anyone sending you off? Where are your parents?” Yan Yi
gathered the little omega into his arms, gently patting his back to comfort
him. He couldn’t help but accuse how there were such irresponsible parents
for letting such a little child cross the road to school alone.

Feeling wronged, the little omega sobbed, “My gege promised to take me to
school this morning, I waited for him at the intersection for such a long time
but he didn’t come. I hate him so much.”

“Don’t cry anymore, baby, go to class.” Yan Yi took a packet of tissues

from his windbreaker pocket, took one out to wipe the little omega’s face,
then stuffed the rest into the pocket of his exquisite little attire.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, Wenchi is very strong.” The little spider held back his
sobs while he comforted Yan Yi, his little hand touching the back of Yan
Yi’s.

A female beta teacher ran out of the school gate. When she saw Shao
Wenchi crying outside, her face instantly turned green. She took a shortcut
from the circular planted bricks in her stiletto heels and bowed to thank Yan
Yi with a guilty look on her face.

“Thank you sir, thank you sir, I’m Wenchi’s head teacher.” The female
teacher bowed and held the little omega’s shoulders, then asked the little
omega if he felt any discomfort with incredible concern. Her lowered voice
and humble attitude was actually like that of an intern who accidentally
spilled coffee on the president’s couture suit.

The little omega still rubbed his crying red eyes and comforted the teacher,
“It’s okay it’s okay…”

If the child was from an ordinary family and was saved by a kind-hearted
person, and even if the child was not sensible, the teacher would patiently
guide the child to thank Yan Yi.

However, this beta teacher obviously did not dare to ask Shao Wenchi to
thank Yan Yi. She picked Shao Wenchi up and asked for Yan Yi’s contact
information so that she could solemnly thank him in the future.
Yan Yi not only saved the child, but also the teacher’s future. If by any
chance Shao Wenchi was in any danger near the school, who would dare to
face the consequences?

Yan Yi didn’t answer, he touched the little child’s milk-jelly like face, then
went back to the taxi he took.

The driver was annoyed from waiting. He couldn’t leave without being
paid, and wouldn’t get paid for the time spent, so he tapped the steering
wheel impatiently.

Yan Yi frowned and then smiled, “Sorry, you can charge the time.”

The driver’s face turned from cloudy to sunny. He stepped on the

accelerator and moved out, talking to Yan Yi as he drove.

“You’re an omega, but your skills are pretty good.” The driver clicked his
tongue and sighed with emotion, “You should’ve waited there longer,
maybe the child’s parents would come later. This school is full of children
from rich families. No matter what you say, they wouldn’t be stingy about
how much reward money they’ll give.”

Just now, that burst had consumed a small amount of gland energy. Yan Yi
held his head and closed his eyes for a moment, “Yeah, looking at that
teacher’s attitude, the child’s background wasn’t that simple. If he really got
hit, the driver would be in big trouble.”

The driver was quite agreeable. He held the cigarette in his hand out the
window to dust the ashes, “No, they can cover the sky with one hand. For
this matter, don’t even think about coming out of the police station once
you’re inside.”

Yan Yi looked out the window and was silent for a while.

He looked down at his fingers, the soft residual warmth was left on the
fingertips that touched the child’s cheeks, like a little walking jelly, fragile
and cute, making it impossible for one not to cherish and protect.
The taxi stopped at the entrance of the hospital. A Panamera which was
supposed to be outside Ruins bar pulled up and stopped at the entrance of
the hospital. Xia Jingtian was leaning against the door playing with his
phone, turning the car key in idle.

When he looked up and saw Yan Yi, he waved his hand, “I’ll take you
upstairs.”

Yan Yi felt as helpless as seeing a kitten he had abandoned the day before
appearing again today.

——

After spending a few hours conducting several examinations one after

another, Yan Yi sat on a chair to wait for the results.

In fact, he had almost gotten the results in his heart. It had only been a
month since he had done it with Lu Shangjin at the dining room that day,
it’s too early to show that he’s pregnant, so it’s impossible.

He was carried away by the joy of having a little bunny and didn’t even
ponder over any other possibilities.

Xia Jingtian came back with a cup of warm water, putting it in Yan Yi’s
hand to warm his freezing cold ones before he sat beside him, “See how
much I look like a scum man who’s accompanying his partner to have an
abortion.”

The corners of Yan Yi’s lips tugged, “A scum man who is willing to
accompany their partner to have an abortion is not the most scum one.”

“…I’m sorry…it’s my responsibility.” Xia Jingtian thought that he might

have hurt him and spoke softly, “If it hurts a little when you get treatment
for the false pregnancy later, don’t worry, I’ll take care of you until you
recover.”

“It’s nothing, it’s not your responsibility.” Yan Yi looked down at the
steaming paper cup in his hand and pinched a drop of water from the rim of
the cup, “This pain is nothing.”

Xia Jingtian kept looking sideways at him, looking at his cheeks that almost
had no pores, and his light-grey alienated pupils. After a long time, he
raised his hand and gently touched the rabbit ear that was hanging down
cutely.

Yan Yi didn’t move either and continued to look at the water cup in a daze.
Wanting to break the awkward silence, he asked, “What’s your major?”

“Architecture, minor in economics and management, my ge insisted that I

study it.” When talking about his major, Xia Jingtian suddenly became
energetic. He pulled out the BIM model and drawings that he made on his
phone, flipped the angle and showed it to Yan Yi, “I drew all of these.”

There seemed to be infinite space behind one side of the screen, and the
three-dimensional colored precision building model could be dragged and
adjusted to view it in different directions.

Yan Yi’s attention was really drawn to it, and he turned it around on the
screen curiously, “You actually drew it yourself?”

Xia Jingtian looked for a design drawing of a European villa he was most
satisfied with and showed it to Yan Yi, “Do you like it?”

Yan Yi looked at the concept of the villa’s greenery and architectural style
which had very attentive details.

He was a little envious of Xia Jingtian for studying what he likes. When he
was much younger than Xia Jingtian, he was already learning how to wring
an opponent’s neck with his bare hands.

“I like garden courtyards…where there are mountains and waters.” Yan Yi

had once seen it on TV.

“Chinese style?” Xia Jingtian then scrolled through to a scanned copy of a

hand-drawn map; a small classical building which was in marker-pen
colouring, the colour matching gentle and pleasing to the eye.
Yan Yi’s eyes turned bright as he took a closer look.

“I’ll send it to you, you can look at it carefully.” Xia Jingtian conveniently
added Yan Yi’s Wechat. He had few contacts, and most of the space on the
info page was occupied by promotion and news. It could be seen that he
hardly used it, and didn’t know what kind of entertainment he usually had,
it seemed like he didn’t care much about anything.

Xia Jingtian gave Yan Yi a sly smile when he returned his phone back,
“You won’t blacklist me after saving the picture right? This would be
getting a prostitute for free.”

In turn, it wasn’t good for Yan Yi to say anything else.

——

Dr Sun, who was giving Yan Yi the examination, was holding the
examination report. As he was about to ask the nurse to call Yan Yi in, the
nurse suddenly ran in hastily with the department head’s phone call on the
line, signalling Dr Sun to answer.

“Hello?”

“Ai, ai, president Shao, hello, hello.”

“Lop-eared rabbit omega? Yes, yes, he’s here for a checkup.”

“Ah?”

Dr Sun was stunned for a moment. He hurried to the consulting room, shut
the door, and said with a lowered voice:

“…But this doesn’t conform to the regulations of our hospital…”

“…oh oh…”

“Oh…okay okay, t-then I understand. You go about your business first.”

almost tailor-made for them
 Chap 34

Half an hour later, Dr Sun came over to hand Yan Yi the examination
report.

When Yan Yi took it, he had in fact already known the result in his heart,
but there was always the process of accepting reality.

Looking at the various indicators, Yan Yi’s face gradually turned red.

He lifted his face and asked in surprise, “Confirmed pregnancy?”

Xia Jingtian’s eyes widened. He grabbed the examination report and read it
line by line.

Fuck, how could this be?

Standing a head taller than Dr Sun, he grabbed him by the collar and gritted
his teeth as he glared into Dr Sun’s eyes, “You didn’t make a mistake, did
you? I’m telling you, our family runs a hospital too. If I go back and find
out a different result, you’ll be in bad luck.”

The lion’s imposing pressure flowed out with the release of oppressive
pheromones.

Dr Sun smiled implicitly and reluctantly. He told Yan Yi to have more rest
and other pregnancy matters before leaving in a hurry, all the ballpoint pens
he brought with him falling onto the chair.

Yan Yi took the examination report, feeling as if the stone in his heart had
fallen. He carefully folded it into a square and put it in his pocket before
getting up to leave. He suddenly wanted to eat the shepherd’s purse
dumplings near the bar, maybe the baby in his stomach was hungry.
“Ai, I’ll take you to my family’s hospital to check again, I think
something’s wrong.” Xia Jingtian wanted to take a picture of the
examination report and send it to his classmate, but Yan Yi put the report
away and refused to take it out.

“Do you not want me to have a child that much?” Yan Yi didn’t want to
argue with him. He folded the paper cup and threw it into the trash can,
“You have a gege, a dad and mom, I don’t have anyone, I just want the baby
to stay.”

He wrapped his coat tightly and headed downstairs.

“It’s not that.” Even though Xia Jingtian was spoiled growing up, he still
had empathy. He wouldn’t be relieved because of Yan Yi’s false pregnancy.
He could obviously see how much Yan Yi looked forward to the birth of
this child, he was just worried about Yan Yi’s health.

So he stood at the entrance of the elevator and couldn’t say a word, seeming
to be deeply wounded by Yan Yi’s suspicious eyes.

He went downstairs with a sigh in his heart, slamming the car door close
with a bam before sitting in the driver’s seat and closing his eyes to calm
down.

Several communications apps in his phone sounded endlessly. He had just

changed his number a few days ago, yet there were some students whom he
didn’t know where they got his contact from who had added him as a friend
to flirt.

So, out of spite, he changed his nickname to ‘Married, get lost.”

Second young master Xia had grown up so big, but it was the first time
someone could make him suffer from grievance in his heart, and the other
party was just an ordinary little rabbit.

His classmate called at this time, “Hello, dick, are you still flirting with that
rabbit gege? You don’t’t even look at Wechat.”
Xia Jingtian was annoyed to death, “Fuck off and annoy your laozi.”

The classmate spoke louder, “Is it not the time you want to ask me about
false pregnancies? Your face is full of smiles when you ask for help but turn
your face back when you don’t need help, fuck, who the hell do you think
you are.”

“Don’t talk to me about false pregnancy, they really are pregnant.”

Touching a sore spot, Xia Jingtian picked out his ancestors and cursed them
all, “You’re just a quack.”

Classmate: “…That can’t be. You should bring him here.”

Two knocks came from the window. Xia Jingtian rolled it down, “Who is
it!”

Yan Yi held the window, “I’m sorry, I went too far just now.”

“…” Xia Jingtian’s temper was gone in a short moment, and he took off his
sunglasses, “Then kiss me and I’ll forgive you.”

“Forget it, don’t forgive me then.” Yan Yi was in a good mood and wasn’t
at the same level as Xia Jingtian’s deliberate teasing.

XIa Jingtian drove slowly to follow him with his head out the window,
“Treat me to dinner tonight, I made a trip to accompany you anyway.”

Although Yan Yi didn’t even need him to make a trip, it was inevitable to
be cheeky and coquettish to pursue someone older than himself.

How could an omega be so independent and don’t need to depend on an

alpha?

Yan Yi didn’t want to go with him. Whenever he was together with Xia
Jingtian, he would always need to consume physical strength to resist the
high compatibility fit. It was distracting and taxing, so he turned into the
path.

Xia Jingtian had no choice but to drive to the main road.

Nan Qi’s architectural style had an implication of a quaint town. Every few
steps of the bluestone brick paving along the alley would be hung with
wooden road signs with twisted flowering vines.

Yan Yi picked up his boss’s call along the way.

Gu Wei: “Are you done with your business? I bought dried flowers from
Zhong Ling street. Come and help me move them.

Yan Yi looked around in all directions to find the road sign. The next
intersection was just Zhong Ling street, which wasn’t far away.

“I’m done, I’m just close by, I’ll head over now.”

——

At five in the afternoon, Chang Nan expressway was congested like a

clogged-up turbulence. The sky was getting dark, and the lights on each
side of the road lighted up in sequence.

Lu Shangjin had already driven off the ramp of Chang Nan expressway, a
large bouquet of roses were kept fresh in a box placed in the back seat of his
car.

He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel as he waited for the red light. In
addition, there was an old platinum ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

The night before yesterday, he didn’t control himself and let out some harsh
words to Yan Yi. Feeling despondent, he made a trip to Ruins bar after
finishing his work.

As he passed down Zhong Ling street, he glanced at the time; he could still
take Yan Yi out to dinner.

——

Gu Wei was standing in front of the flower shop on Zhong Ling street with
five to six boxes of dried flowers stacked by his feet. This flower shop was
hidden in the alleyway so a car couldn’t come in, and only the owner’s little
daughter was watching the shop.

Yan Yi walked over, bending down to lift two boxes, and gently held the
bottom with his left hand. With a hook of his toes, he picked up a box and
stacked it on top easily like he was elegantly holding a tray of red wine.

Gu Wei rubbed his hands and picked up two of the large boxes of
decorative dried flowers, “The car is waiting by the road. How’s the result
of your checkup?”

“Your employee is very healthy.”

“That’s good then.”

Turning around the corner, Yan Yi accidentally bumped into a pedestrian

who was turning from the other side of the right corner. The dried flower
boxes he was holding were still stacked steadily. He lifted his eyelashes and
said, “Sorry.”

“Oh, hey.”

Shao Wenjing gave him a hand, picking up the fallen examination report
from the ground. He opened it and took a look, “Aiya, you’re pregnant,
congratulations.”

Yan Yi took the examination report back, dissatisfied with the

ungentlemanly behaviour of opening up someone’s dropped article without
permission, but he had enough self-control to prevent himself from getting
angry.

Shao Wenjing hung those seductive peach blossom eyes and blocked Yan
Yi. Actually, he was looking at the glands at the back of his neck. It was
still a clean and smooth light red.

He was clearly marked when he saw him before, but now the mark had
disappeared.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shangjin had already removed the mark, it seemed that
the power of that photo from before was really strong. For a possessive
peregrine falcon alpha, what could make him more insane and out of
control than dirtying his omega?

It didn’t seem to require so much effort. Taking advantage of the fact that
the little white rabbit’s glands had only recovered to the J1 grade, it would
be so convenient to forcibly mark him. After all, an A3 grade omega can
have a serious psychological dependence on the alpha who has marked him.

The seemingly ordinary and weak lop-eared rabbit who surprisingly

possesses the A3 glands was really the envy of others.

Yan Yi had a good memory. At a glance, he could recognize that this was
the spider masseuse he called for at the club three years ago. He also
remembered the sense of dread that ran through his body when Lu Shangjin
threw the intimate photo of them at his feet.

Under the dim street lamp, Shao Wenjing’s eyes seemed to be covered with
a metallic lustre, like the compound eyes of insects, the corners of his eyes
raised upwards. He stared at Yan Yi with a gentle smile in his eyes, but it
made one’s hair stand on end.

“Are you alone?” Shao Wenjing put his hands in his pants pockets, bowing
and lowering his head close to Yan Yi as he took a whiff of the soft and
sweet scent of milk candy.

Before Yan Yi could speak, Gu Wei turned the corner while carrying the
dried flowers and froze when he saw Shao Wenjing.

Shao Wenjing grabbed Yan Yi’s shoulder as if no one else was present and
exposed his sharp canine teeth, a metallic film shining in his eyes.

“Ai, what are you doing!” Gu Wei tossed the dried flowers and was about to
take action, but Shao Wenjing took two steps back under the surprised gaze,
his back defenselessly hitting the wall hard.
Yan Yi glanced back. Xia Jingtian was just a few steps away, his right hand
still in a raised position, his chin lifted slightly as he watched Shao Wenjing
and said provokingly, “Uncle, don’t move, I’m afraid I’ll accidentally
squeeze you into a meat patty.”

The mountain lion race’s J1 differentiative ability “Gravity manipulation”.

“…Didn’t expect that there would be another M2 alpha besides me in this

small place.” Shao Wenjing released oppressive pheromones, using his
glandular energy to resist the greatly increasing gravity around him as he
stood up slowly.

“Xiao Xia, don’t fight here.” Yan Yi frowned and backed away, when
suddenly the blaring of horns sounded behind him.

A black BMW 760li stopped behind. Lu Shangjin got off from the driver’s
seat and leaned against the door before lighting a cigarette.

“Quite lively.”
 Chap 35

Yan Yi was lying on his back in the shadow of the snow-white fenced wall,
his hands pillowed as he threw a strawberry into his mouth. He licked his
fingers as long as he liked and reached into the fence to try to steal another
one.

“The young master is coming back today.”

Several servants picked fresh strawberries in the garden behind the Lu

residence and chatted about the news they had just received.

The little rabbit ears suddenly stood up. Yan Yi stood on his tiptoes in
surprise, flipped over the fenced wall and ran.

For a seven year old child, the Lu residence looked like a castle soaring into
the clouds.

The melodious sound of a piano came out from an open glass window. On
his tiptoes, Yan Yi held the windowsill with his little hands and half his
body hanging on the windowsill with difficulty. His fluffy tail ball hung
behind his butt, his big eyes flickering as he peeked inside.

A young boy was sitting in front of the grand piano. He was wearing a
school uniform, and his pair of smooth and flawless long hands jumped
across the keys. It seemed as though a noble and gentle light was emitting
from his head to toes.

Yan Yi pricked up his ears, afraid he might miss a note.

He really liked the little prince in the castle.

Suddenly, Lu Shangjin seemed to have felt something strange from behind
him. The sound of the piano stopped abruptly and he looked back at the
window.

Yan Yi fell onto the ground nervously and immediately huddled himself
into a ball, covering his eyes as his little tail ball trembled in fear.

After a while, he realized that he hadn’t been caught peeping.

He let go of his hands, but saw a cold and handsome face of a young boy in
front of him.

Lu Shangjin squatted on his heels and touched Yan Yi’s soft ears, feeling a
little surprised, “Little bunny…?”

After being in a daze for a long time, Yan Yi’s face turned red.

He was huddled up in fear and shyness, like a little meatball that grew a
pair of rabbit ears and a fluffy ball tail, trembling as he said: “It sounds
good.”

Really. Lu Shangjin’s eyes curved.

He touched Yan Yi’s soft hair again.

“You’re very cute.”

“Your face is so soft.” Lu Shangjin pinched Yan Yi’s little white face that
was like milk-jelly, only then did he understand what the idiom “it can
break from blowing” meant.

Yan Yi blinked his big eyes, the left side of his little face was pinched red.

The corner of Lu Shangjin’s lips perked up.

“Call me Jin ge.”

“Jin ge…” Yan Yi called obedietnly, being careful not to move.

“I’ll cover you from now on, little bunny.”
 Chap 36

Three intensely strong M2 alpha pheromones were mutually attacking one

another. The domineering and powerful scent of the alphas instantly
exploded and spread through Zhong Ling street in an instant. Tourists
strolling around the shopping street in the bluestone roadway all stopped at
once and followed this powerful sense of pressure, not knowing where it led
to. They were curious, but didn’t dare to get closer.

The oppressive tension of the high-grade M2 pheromones rolled in like a

thick cloud swallowing the city.

The omegas in the shops became so dizzy from the impact of the sudden
powerful oppressive force of the alpha pheromones that they closed their
shops in a hurry.

The owner of the flower shop where Gu Wei had just bought dried flowers
from, had just happened to return. The shop owner was an omega. Feeling
strong pressure coming onto his face just as he stepped foot in Zhang Ling
street, he abruptly covered his glands and knelt painfully on the ground.

“Are these gland hunters…? There are several high-grade alphas nearby…
It hurts… I can’t hold on…”

There were also several omegas in the alley frantically covering their
glands, desperately resisting this oppressive tension that made one shiver. A
child being held in someone’s arms suddenly let out a sharp cry.

Hearing the cry of a child nearby, Yan Yi put down the dried flowers and
stood in the middle of the three people. “Stop it now! Do you all want to
tear down this street?”
Xia Jingtian was the first to stop releasing oppressive pheromones. He sat
on the front hood of his car and slightly raised his chin at Yan Yi to show
that he was particularly obedient.

“I don’t want to use my M2 ability to wipe out this street.” Xia Jingtian
swept his gaze over Lu Shangjin and landed on Shao Wenjing’s face, giving
a faint smile. “Where did this bug come from? I hate bugs the most.”

Lu Shangjin glanced sideways at Xia Jingtian. “Why are you here? Your
ge’s asking you to go back.”

Xia Jingtian choked for a moment, his eyes immediately becoming sharp
and hostile.

Shao Wenjing brushed the dust from his sleeves before putting his hands
into his pockets and leaning against the wall. The corners of his lips curled
to reveal his sharp canines. “Young master Lu, long time no see. A couple
of days ago on the cruise ship, I saw that you were holding a little celebrity
lovingly in your arms. But today, you’re interested in the little rabbit by my
lips? Why are you eating from the bowl and looking in the pot?”

Lu Shangjin was completely indifferent to Shao Wenjing’s provocation of

deliberately distorting the truth. However, Yan Yi was a little stirred by it.
He pursed his lips. The light in his eyes seemed to have blown out like a
candle. When he looked at Lu Shangjin, all that remained in his eyes was
loss and dreariness.

Sure enough, when he didn’t pick up the phone before, he had actually been
on a vacation with Yuan Mi.

Seeing the earnest expression on Yan Yi’s face gradually fading away, Lu
Shangjin suddenly became extremely irritable. He slammed the car door
hard, stomped on his cigarette butt and quickly walked over to Yan Yi.

“Get in the car and I’ll explain.”

“It’s okay, I’m used to it.” Yan Yi wasn’t surprised. After all, Lu Shangjin
would occasionally bring people back home to play. He had seen them all
before.

Yan Yi wanted to help his boss move the dried flowers to the car first, so he
went to look for him on his own, and found Gu Wei sitting at an open-air
hot pot place at a safe distance of fifty meters away. He was holding a
bucket of popcorn and looking in their direction as he ate, watching the fire
burning across the river.

The instant Yan Yi looked back, he felt a sudden tightening around his
wrist. A strand of sticky spider silk had roped around his right hand, and his
body was then pulled by a strong force, his back bumping hard into Shao
Wenjing’s arms. His hands were twisted and tightened by the tough spider
silk.

“Let him go!” Xia Jingtian abruptly jumped off from the front hood of the
car. From behind, Shao Wenjing locked Yan Yi’s throat with one arm and
retreated back with him. He said with a joking smile, “Come, see if this
little rabbit can withstand your gravitational pressure.”

“I…” Xia Jingtian’s strength was really unloaded. His J1 and M2 abilities
were meant for ranged pressure, not for directing at single targets.

Lu Shangjin frowned.

He had met Xia Pingtian’s little brother several times. The little lion’s wild
temper and penchant for trouble went beyond his older brother’s. Whatever
great deal of trouble he would cause would be covered by his older brother
anyway, so he never hesitated when he wanted to fight for power.

Shao Wenjing lowered his head and sniffed the faint scent on Yan Yi’s hair,
then lifted his peach blossom eyes and curved them at Lu Shangjin. “Let me
borrow him to play with for two days– it’s something you don’t want
anyway. But if you come any closer, I’ll mark him right now.”

Lu Shangjin seemed to be able to hear the grinding sound of his back teeth
gritting.
“I really don’t like you talking like that.” Yan Yi lifted his eyelids slightly
as he was forcibly caged into his arms with his throat locked. He grabbed
Shao Wenjing’s hand that was clasped around his neck, and directly threw
his shoulder overhead.

Bound by the spider web, and with his hands propped on the ground, his
long legs swung onto Shao Wenjing’s abdomen. This vicious move of the
rabbit tricking the eagle1 was several times more powerful than when he
had kicked the bones in Yuan Mi’s limbs.

Shao Wenjing didn’t expect that the little rabbit with dormant glandular
cells could have such a violent powerful outburst. Caught off guard, he was
swept eight meters away, and like a wandering creeping spider, he stood
upright on a vertical wall and lightly stepped on the roof.

Some races have the chance to obtain their differentiative ability through
gland differentiation, and new supplemental abilities can emerge. Races
such as spiders and geckos can have the supplemental ability of “wall
walking”, where they can stand and walk on various surfaces without being
affected by their angles.

Yan Yi’s face turned pale. He had just exhausted his gland energy, which
hadn’t been restored yet. As he was on the verge of collapse, Xia Jingtian
caught his shaking and unsteady body. Bruised fingerprints could still be
seen on his fair skin when he checked his neck.

Lu Shangjin suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared on the low
roof with a trail of his afterimage following suit. In an instant, he grabbed
Shao Wenjing’s neck and forcefully smashed his entire body onto the finely
broken sharp tiles with a loud crashing sound.

The speed was almost lightning fast.

It was the supplemental ability of the peregrine falcon “seize”: catching the
target with the peregrine falcon’s hunting dive speed of 389 km/h.

“Don’t touch my things. Was the lesson I gave your godfather not enough?”
The muscles on Lu Shangjin’s arms were stretched out through the sleeves
of his shirt, the vicious hostility in his eyes burning extensively.

The corners of Shao Wenjing’s mouth were immediately stained with blood,
but the corners of his eyes rose provocatively. “It’ll fall into my hands
sooner or later.”

He lifted his leg and swept Lu Shangjin off the roof before disappearing in
an instant.

The powerful pheromones that permeated Zhong Ling street faded along
with the three M2 alphas, and the tense atmosphere faded out of the
bluestone roadway.

“I’m fine, thank you.” Yan Yi looked back and thanked Xia Jingtian with a
reluctant smile as he got out of his arms. He then squatted down to help his
boss move the boxes of dried flowers.

His fingers merely touched the cardboard box, when the box was suddenly
and impatiently kicked aside with a loud bang. Yan Yi looked up in surprise
to see Lu Shangjin staring down at him with an ice-cold face.

“Are you angry?” His rabbit ears moved slightly.

Lu Shangjin bent down to lift Yan Yi up fiercely into his arms, holding his
cheeks as he kissed his mouth in a rough manner.

“Come with me.”

He then picked Yan Yi up and stuffed him into the car before slamming the
door shut. He walked around to the driver’s seat, turned the gear and left.

Xia Jingtian subconsciously chased after them for a few steps. Watching the
fading shadow of the car, his expression turned cloudy.

Can you never catch up to the one who doesn’t love you?

“Handsome boy, come help me carry some boxes?” Gu Wei walked over
and calmly bent down to pick up the cardboard boxes on the ground, “I
really can’t hire rich madams as my employees. They probably just want to
come and experience life.”

Xia Jingtian laughed in anger and snorted, “A husky making me carry

boxes? Do you know who I am?”

Gu Wei looked him up and down and rolled his eyes.

He then did a 540-degree spiral turn, carried the boxes on one shoulder, and
hummed 《Superstar in Turmoil》as he walked away.
 Chap 37

The bar street was brightly lit. In front of the entrance, fringed water lilies
were floating on the clear waterway on either side of the bluestone bricks.

Ruins Bar was unusually deserted tonight and the door was closed.

Only a flower-shaped ceiling light was lit in front of the bar. An empty
bottle reeled side to side before rolling to the corner, and it was picked up
by Xia Jingtian, who poured it into his mouth in a drunken state.

This alpha was the only one sitting in front of the bar. The room was filled
with the smell of wine and the intense M2 pheromones that had a scent akin
to baby’s breath flowers.

“Boss, get me a bottle of whiskey.” Xia Jingtian leaned against the bar,
seeming very sober, but his eyes were already in a state of drunkenness and
he was lost in his mind.

Gu Wei was sitting at the corner of the sofa, hitting hard at the glands on the
back of Xia Jingtian’s neck, and finally threw him directly onto the sofa in a
mad fit. He buried his glands and head with a pillow to fend off the insane
and uncontrollable M2 pheromones.

“Wei, fuck you!”

——

The streetlamps on the road lit up in succession, the traffic going through
and from the highway gradually thinning out.
Yan Yi was stuck in the passenger seat. His seat belt was fiercely fastened
by Lu Shangjin, as though he was strangling a prey, buckling Yan Yi into
the seat.

“What are you doing…” Yan Yi reached out to loosen the seat belt, but his
wrist was grasped in the palm of a large hand.

With an ugly expression, Lu Shangjin drove with one hand and overtook
the car in front like a vicious devil.

“It hurts. You should drive carefully.” Yan Yi pried off Lu Shangjin’s
fingers one by one. “You can’t overtake here.”

“Your glands haven’t recovered. What are you tossing about for?” Lu
Shangjin gave him a sidelong glance from the rearview mirror. When he
looked at the bruised fingerprints on his pale neck, the hand that withdrew
clenched into a fist and hit the steering wheel. He felt extremely irritable.

Yan Yi moved a little bit away from Lu Shangjin and held the seat belt.
“What are you angry about? Even if you didn’t come, I could also…”

“You can do jack shit.”

Lu Shangjin looked straight ahead as his expression turned uglier. “The

value of your glands has already reached 2.5 billion dollars on the black
market. Don’t you know how to keep a low profile while I’m away?”

“I’m sorry.” Yan Yi averted his eyes and stopped looking at him.

Suddenly, he saw Lu Shangjin’s left hand from the reflection on the glass.
On it, there was a platinum wedding ring that had been lost for many years.

Yan Yi froze as he looked at the glass and turned back to stare at Lu

Shangjin’s hand for a moment, then dazedly shifted his gaze to Lu
Shangjin’s frosty expression.

A car in front took a sudden turn and Lu Shangjin abruptly braked as he

cursed a low “fuck”.
His neck was shaken from it. He held the back of his neck, but accidentally
touched the needle hole from the rut inhibitor on his gland and slightly drew
in a breath.

This was the source of violent irritability.

The natural aggressive gene in the alpha’s blood was awakened. A cunning
and vicious spider had successfully infuriated him.

Yan Yi grasped the seat belt as he was jerked forward. A box of things in
the back seat of the car was thrown to the ground by the inertia.

“What fell?” Yan Yi looked back at the back seat. A bouquet of roses
sprinkled with silver glitter was scattered from the flower box, a few fallen
petals reflecting in his light grey eyes. The light in his eyes seemed to light
up from the headlight of the car behind, turning into gentle flowing water.

He soon came back to his senses and withdrew his gaze, lowering his
eyelids to hide the admiring expression on his face.

“Is that… for someone?” Yan Yi looked down at the corner of his shirt that
was wrinkled from the fight, folding it in the opposite direction of the
crease and smoothing it.

In less than an hour, Lu Shangjin had been misunderstood twice by this

little rabbit. He took a deep breath and threw the car into a narrow road
before stopping at a fountain of an abandoned park.

“Get out of the car.” Lu Shangjin put out the fire, leaning back against the
headrest and closing his eyes.

Thinking that Lu Shangjin wanted to toss him out halfway, Yan Yi hesitated
as he bit his lips and said, “Oh.”

As soon as he got out of the car, Lu Shangjin got out of the driver’s seat,
taking out the bouquet of roses from the back. He held Yan Yi with one
hand and carried his light body up to the edge of the dried-up fountain.
At a loss, Yan Yi sat at the edge of the fountain. His little rabbit ears
immediately filled up with blood and became red and hot. He looked up at
Lu Shangjin blankly when his arms were unexpectedly stuffed with a big
bouquet of roses.

Lu Shangjin seemed to already be irritated to his limit. He puts his hands on

the edge of the fountain where Yan Yi sat and trapped the little rabbit in the
space of his arms, like a hawk looking down at the little white rabbit it
hunted down. His sharp gaze cut down every inch of flesh and blood on his
body, as if he was thinking about where to start eating.

“It’s for you. It’s all for you.” Lu Shangjin bit Yan Yi’s soft red lips hard,
the hawk’s sharp claws latching onto the little white rabbit’s slender waist.
He only released his hold when Yan Yi softly trembled in his arms.

“Do you understand?” Lu Shangjin asked with a raised eyebrow.

Yan Yi lifted his eyelashes, his eyes full of confusion. He wiped a drop of
saliva from the corner of his lips and gathered the big bouquet of roses,
holding it carefully. His mind was completely blank, and there was a tiny
string buzzing in his heart.

He gazed at Lu Shangjin’s eyes in a daze, trying to discern something from

this pair of cold and irritable eyes. But some things were concealed closely
by his strongly possessive nature.

“Are you… jealous?” Yan Yi’s slightly opened lips pursed from surprise.

Lu Shangjin couldn’t respond for a moment.

A faint smile rose on the corner of the little rabbit’s lips. He held the
bouquet tightly and said:,

“These are… so expensive.”

“If you like them, I’ll get someone to buy you one every day.”

It’s not like this was something valuable.

The smile on the corners of Yan Yi’s lips turned weak again from this
sentence. He softly replied, “No need. This is good.”

“The ring,” Yan Yi put his thin and slender finger on Lu Shangjin’s left ring
finger and muttered, “Didn’t you throw it?”

“Hm.” Yan Yi’s obedience gradually calmed Lu Shangjin’s restlessly

furious heart. He took the bouquet of flowers, which was in the way
between him and Yan Yi, and tossed it aside, then pulled Yan Yi towards
him and stuck him to the hollow of his shoulder.

Yan Yi was a little reluctant to let go of the flowers. When he was pressed
into his arms, his nose was immediately filled with the mixed scent of
narcissus and tobacco.

Lu Shangjin lowered his head to check the glands at the back of his neck. It
was still a light and smooth soft red, emitting the tender scent of milk
candy.

The moment his lips touched the glands, a trace of numbness flowed into
Yan Yi’s body through his nerves. He froze and closed his eyes nervously.

The imaginary pain of sharp teeth piercing his glands didn’t come as
expected. Yan Yi waited patiently, but instead, Lu Shangjin only planted a
faint kiss on his glands and soon let go.

“Let’s go have dinner.” Lu Shangjin pinched Yan Yi’s tender cheek. It may
be due to his racial gift that his cheeks were still as smooth as silken tofu
even though he was already twenty-seven years old.

Yan Yi picked the fallen petals by his side and inserted them back into the
layered bouquet of flowers. He carried the bouquet and sat in the back seat,
specifically sitting in the corner to avoid Lu Shangjin’s sight from the
rearview mirror.

He then carefully arranged the bouquet, tidying each rose like they were
newly bloomed ,and put it back into the flower box along with the fallen
petals at his feet.
There was a card from the florist in the box which had a routine greeting
printed on it. Yan Yi quietly took the card out and put it into his pocket,
folding it together with his pregnancy examination report.

“What are you looking at?” Lu Shangjin couldn’t see what Yan Yi was
holding from the rearview mirror.

“Nothing.” Yan Yi kept away the examination report and card, touched his
lower abdomen and put the flower box close to him so that the baby could
smell the roses sent by his alpha father.

“Don’t send flowers to other omegas, okay?”

 Chap 38

Edited & Proofread by: Yukirayu, Ruthsic

The truth was, Lu Shangjin had never sent flowers to other omegas before.

He wasn’t someone who was used to being romantic, and the toys that were
used to appease his sexual desires were not worthy of his consideration.

He was also not someone who was used to explaining himself, hence he
would give only a hum.

Unable to stomach the dishes at Nan Qi, Lu Shangjin asked his assistant to
book a restaurant outside the city.

The car came to a steady stop, but there was no movement from the back
seat.

Lu Shangjin glanced back and saw Yan Yi’s upper body curled up as he was
half-lying on the seat. He had fallen asleep, with the flower box serving as
his pillow.

Lu Shangjin went around to the back seat and grabbed Yan Yi’s arm,
putting it around his shoulder before carrying the little rabbit out.

In his sleep, the little rabbit was still hugging the flower box without letting
go. Lu Shangjin carried him with one hand while the other plucked the thin
fingers off the edge of the flower box.

“Jin ge…” Yan Yi held his neck in a daze. His cheek pressed against Lu
Shangjin’s collarbone through his shirt, and his soft eyelashes swept over
the skin of his neck.
The night wind was still a little cold, so he unconsciously hugged Lu
Shangjin tight, leaning his stomach to the side and sticking close to Lu
Shangjin to absorb his warmth.

An omega without a mark would always feel a greater lack of security.

After getting used to having his beloved alpha close, as long as he could get
close to the familiar scent of the other’s pheromone, his body would
naturally relax and he would unconsciously show his dependence.

Instincts made Yan Yi bow his head meekly, sending his glands at the back
of his neck towards Lu Shangjin’s lips. At the same time, the soft courting
pheromones were released from the glands to play up to him.

The pheromones of the lop-eared rabbit race was like that of a baby bunny’s
paws, gently scratching on Lu Shangjin’s glands without much strength and
in a very pitiful manner, only waiting obediently for the alpha’s strong
glands to receive its homeless self.

It was difficult for any alpha to refuse the invitation to mark such an
adorable omega.

He licked his sharp canine teeth, but in the end, he didn’t take a bite.

Lu Shangjin held his back, the protruding spines pressing against his palm.

How did he get so thin?

Lu Shangjin suddenly realized that the little rabbit, who was originally soft
and supple to the touch, was now as light as a feather when picked up. The
traces of training on the muscles of his arms and legs had almost completely
faded over these few years.

An unhealthy layer of white had also seemed to appear on the surface of his
face.

It had been a very, very long time since Lu Shangjin had paid careful
attention to Yan Yi, and unknowingly, the little rabbit had become very
haggard.
He should take him to the hospital for a checkup when he has the time.

Yan Yi shrank his body and laid sleepily on Lu Shangjin’s shoulder. He had
consumed too much gland energy today and was physically exhausted, so
he was in urgent need of a good night’s sleep.

Lu Shangjin thought for a moment, then put Yan Yi back in the back seat
and took a set of portable pillow quilts from the trunk.

He drove as steadily as possible and got onto Chang Nan Expressway back
to Chang Hui City before nightfall.

Gardeners were taking care of the garden in front of the villa. Luxuriantly
green windmill jasmine crawled all over the full-sided trellis.

When Lu Shangjin came back, it was already noon the next day. He drove
directly into the garage where the cars that he occasionally drove were
parked around the periphery. On the second perimeter, there were several
different limited custom models used to block the view. The innermost iris
lock compartment of the garage held two large pickup trucks equipped with
three layers of bulletproof windshields. The rear row was modified to
deploy Browning heavy machine guns and fixed ammunition boxes, while
the leftmost elevator led to the helipad on the rooftop.

Lu Shangjin held the car door as he carried Yan Yi out, but found that Yan
Yi was already awake. He sat in a daze and rubbed his rabbit ears that were
wrinkled from sleep, and even the fur was all curled up.

“You’re awake? We just arrived home.” Lu Shangjin held the car door open
for him. “Come out and walk.”

Yan Yi was stunned for a moment and suddenly became clear-headed. They
were still in Nan Qi last night.

“You brought me back… I haven’t packed my things… you should’ve

called me yesterday.”

“I’ll ask the assistant to get them.”

“…Okay… I’ll let my boss know.” Yan Yi fished out his phone to give Gu
Wei a call when a Wechat message popped up on his screen. It was Xia
Jingtian’s voice message.

Lu Shangjin narrowed his eyes. “Who is it?”

Yan Yi calmly handed his phone over to Lu Shangjin. “It must be that kid,
Xiao Xia.”

Lu Shangjin’s eyebrows knotted slightly. “That little brat is quite concerned

about you. When I was talking to Xia Pingtian a few days ago, he roared so
loudly that I almost lost my hearing.”

“Cheer up. Your omega is almost thirty and could still harvest such a young
fanboy.” Yan Yi gave his phone to Lu Shangjin. “Take it. I’m not listening.”

“…” The look in Lu Shangjin’s eyes wasn’t too happy. He took Yan Yi’s
phone and put it back into his pocket. “Contact him less.”

Yan Yi was a little lost as he watched Lu Shangjin’s retreating back.

Clearly, marking the glands could keep other alphas a distance away from
him. It’s just one bite, it’s not too inconvenient.

With a mark, there would be a bond. No matter where Lu Shangjin was, he

would be concerned about Yan Yi because of this tiny mark.

He bit his lip and secretly denied himself.

One should not have too much hope.

Yan Yi picked up the flower box and shut the car door before chasing after
Lu Shangjin. Unexpectedly, Lu Shangjin didn’t go up by himself and was
waiting for him by the elevator.

Yan Yi stood beside him in relief, silently looking at their reflections on the
elevator doors.
“Why are you still holding this box?” Lu Shangjin lit a cigarette and gave a
look of disgust at a small piece of the edge of the flower box that was
crinkled, exhaling softly, “Throw it away when we go upstairs. I’ll get
someone to send new ones tomorrow.”

“There’s really no need.” Yan Yi tightened his arms around the flower box
in a cherishing manner. “This is really… good enough, thank you.”

“I can bear with it at most until it has worms,” Lu Shangjin put out the
cigarette butt and entered the elevator. “Come here. You’re like a delivery
boy.”

Yan Yi was stunned as he stepped briskly into the elevator with the box in
his arms, his rabbit ears bouncing around secretly.

Lu Shangjin’s shoulder would occasionally be hit with the soft bouncing

rabbit ears, and his stiff face unconsciously turned a little more gentle. He
caught Yan Yi’s ear in his hand and kneaded it.

“Don’t move.”

——

Going into the first floor, Yan Yi’s expression froze for a moment.

There was a mess of takeout boxes spread across the table, and the ashtray
was broken into several pieces lying at the foot of the sofa. It was obvious
that someone had lost their temper in this house.

He looked at Lu Shangjin, who was also thinking about this matter, even
looking a little embarrassed. But he immediately straightened up, took off
his coat and tossed it on the sofa. He then glanced at his phone and found a
message from Bi Ruijing among his chaotic work reports.

“The baby is a full month old. Will you be free next week?”

Lu Shangjin, “I just got back. Where is it?”

Bi Ruijing quickly replied, “Take a look at when I sent that message.”

Lu Shangjin glanced; it was last week. So he gave Bi Ruijing a call.

On the other side, Bi Ruijing was holding a butterfly omega, who was
carrying a baby, and toasted to several senior army soldiers. Seeing Lu
Shangjin’s call, he excused himself before finding a quiet place.

“He’s already a month old?” Lu Shangjin asked.

“Yeah, you’ve seen my son when you came to our house before.” Bi
Ruijing leaned against the wall and stuck his hand into his pocket. “How
have you been these days?”

Lu Shangjin looked at Yan Yi, who was tidying up god knows what with his
tail puckered, and felt his heart become a little more grounded.

“Pretty good. I’ll take someone there.”

Yan Yi wasn’t in a rush to clean up the mess on the table, but instead first
went to the utility room to get a square ceramic flower vase, filled it with
water, and inserted the roses one by one, giving it a presentable look.

The roses were no longer in their budding fresh state. Yan Yi carefully
picked off the withered petals and pressed them into an old book——

His journal was left on the second floor of the bar and he should get it back
as soon as possible. The points Lu Shangjin got today could be added a
little more. He wrote it down on a piece of paper first.

After taking care of the bouquet, he conveniently went to the iron flower
rack on the balcony to sprinkle some water, but saw dozens of boxes of
Timothy hay piled up on there.

Yan Yi crouched down and took a box to look at it carefully.

“Rabbit snacks…?”

 Chap 39

Lu Shangjin tossed his phone aside and walked to the balcony. He bent
down and touched the rabbit tail sticking up from Yan Yi’s buttocks.

“Ah.” Yan Yi covered his butt and raised the waist of his pants a little to
cover his tail. His face flushed a bright red as he sat on the ground.

“The floor hasn’t been cleaned for many days. Don’t sit there.” Lu Shangjin
stood up straight and leaned against the French window.

Yan Yi stood up with a box of Timothy hay in his hands, lowering his
eyelids and asked softly, “Is it for me?”

Lu Shangjin remembered that in that past, he just wanted to look at this

same expression on Yan Yi’s face whenever he brought gifts for him-
grateful yet shy, his face plain and gentle, but deep down,his heart was
leaping with joy.

The irritability factor in his blood gradually subsided.

“Who else? I only own one who eats rabbit snacks at home.” Lu Shangjin
put his hand on the top of Yan Yi’s head. “You slept the whole journey. Go
eat something good.”

“I’ll cook.” Yan Yi put down the box of hay. “You should go up to sleep for
a while. You drove all day, didn’t you?”

Lu Shangjin suddenly grabbed him from behind and pulled him into his
arms, lowering his head and pinching the soft furs on his ears. “Let’s go see
a baby. It’s a month old, you’ll like it.”
The familiar scent of milk candy pheromones made one feel at ease.

As long as he was sure that Yan Yi had returned to his side, the stone that
was rising and falling in Lu Shangjin’s heart would quietly sink down, and
the restless anxiety he had from the past few days would be swept away.

Yan Yi’s eyes lit up and he was suddenly awake. Lu Shangjin wasn’t talking
about his child.

On the other hand, Lu Shangjin surprisingly wanted to take him to meet his
friends.

“Oh…okay. Are there many people? I’ll go change my clothes.” Yan Yi

was overwhelmed by flattery. Lu Shangjin had always isolated him from his
own circle. Yan Yi wanted to integrate into it, but Lu Shangjin never gave
him the chance to do so.

“There are a lot of people, but you know some of them.”

“Alright.”

Yan Yi went to the closet to pick out a formal thin-waisted suit that wasn’t
too dignified, but when he looked down, he found that someone seemed to
have been in here.

He bent down and touched under the pillow, feeling out each of his valuable
treasures one by one to check. Not a single thing was missing.

The laminated group photo fell to his feet. Yan Yi picked it up and wiped
the dust off the photo with his fingers. When he looked back up, he saw Lu
Shangjin standing by the door and watching him.

“Did you… touch my things…?” Yan Yi put away the photo under his
pillow in the closet.

“I came here to look for something a few days ago.” Lu Shangjin wasn’t too
happy with him making such a clear distinction between ‘what’s yours and
what’s mine’, “I didn’t touch anything else. I just took a look at that photo.”
“Oh… that’s okay.” Yan Yi didn’t want to make Lu Shangjin angry. He took
out the valuable carrot brooch from the gift box and wanted to put it on his
chest.

“You want to put this on?” Lu Shangjin looked at him with his head tilted
sideways.

Yan Yi didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. He nodded with
widened eyes, “You gave me this beautiful birthday gift. I never had a
chance to wear such a valuable thing.”

“So cute.” The corners of Lu Shangjin’s lips barely tugged.

The material was indeed an expensive diamond, but the design was too
unique. Fortunately, he was a little rabbit and wearing a carrot brooch
wasn’t too ridiculous.

Having just coaxed the little rabbit back, Lu Shangjin didn’t want to argue
over such boring trifles. It’s fine as long as he likes it.

Yan Yi went to the code cabinet in the foyer and carefully picked out a set
of car keys. “The one you often drive hasn’t been washed yet. You should
change to a different one.”

“Okay.”

In the elevator, Yan Yi was pushed to the corner again, and was kissed until
he was dizzy before he was let go.

He liked kissing.

And he liked Lu Shangjin sticking to him even more.

——

In the corridor of the winery’s second floor, Bi Ruijing held his omega as
they went to the lounge for nursing.
The butterfly omega carried his baby and glanced at Bi Ruijing. “Close the
door when you go out.”

Bi Ruijing crouched down and looked up at the omega sitting on the chair,
laughing playfully. “I can’t look at my own wife?”

The omega’s white cheeks flushed red. As he undid his clothes to feed the
baby, his eyebrows knitted with an uncomfortable look.

“What’s wrong?”

“It hurts.”

Bi Ruijing couldn’t help but smile as he picked up the squeamish omega,

putting him in his arms. He kissed his forehead and released soothing
pheromones. “I’m sorry. My XIao Meng is still a baby.”

The butterfly omega held the baby as he snuggled up to Bi Ruijing’s

shoulder, “Are you still going to the office later?”

“I’ll just make a trip there. I’ll go back early tonight.” Bi Ruijing soothed
with a warm voice.

“I’ll lock the door at seven. It’s up to you.”

“Hey, laopo, why are you so unreasonable? Why are you still angry?
There’s so many things to do at the end of the month, and plus, I opened a
sale two days ago…”

“If you try to reason with me again, I’ll scold you.” The omega gave him a
cold look.

Bi Ruijing could only nod his head and kissed the omega’s light-coloured
lips, giving an indulgent smile.

“Little drama queen. Call out something nice, then.”

The butterfly omega pursed his lips and pushed the baby into Bi Ruijing’s
arms, wrapping his arms around his neck.
“Uncle Rui.”

Looking out from the wooden window on the second floor of the winery, a
Bentley arrived late at the end of the road. When Bi Ruijing saw the lop-
eared rabbit omega driving, he was stunned.

Shit. It’s the empress of the main palace.

It’s really giving him face.

Carrying the omega, Bi Ruijing headed downstairs to welcome them,

saying hello to Lu Shangjin.

Yan Yi stopped the engine and got out of the driver’s seat, smiling gently
when he saw Bi Ruijing. “After living in seclusion all these years, only now
did I find out you were having a baby.”

Bi Ruijing immediately stood straight, giving Yan Yi a military salute as he

carried the baby, “Senior.”

Yan Yi just laughed, “I’ve retired for so many years. Don’t make fun of
me.”

In the PBB base, one’s ranking – which was based on their combat potential
– was branded on their body as a permanent serial number. The front and
end of the serial number did not represent absolute strength or weakness,
but it can be used as a relatively stable way of judgement.

Bi Ruijing looked at the omega beside him, “Xiao Meng, say hello.”

The butterfly omega wasn’t timid or shy with strangers, but he calmly
shook hands with the guests. Perhaps it was because of his origins that he
was born with a noble temperament.

Lu Shangjin slapped a red envelope into Bi Ruijing’s hand. “Congrats.”

“I’ll take advantage of my son’s light,” Bi Ruijing pinched it and felt that
there was a set of car keys inside. “Hey, let me see if it’s the one I’ve
always wanted.”
“It’s for Tan Meng. What are you talking about?” Lu Shangjin smiled
lightly. “It’s top-end limited edition. I got it specifically to come here, it’s
still nice and warm.”

Bi Ruijing glanced at Yan Yi, then poked the red envelope at Lu Shangjin’s
chest. “I think you’ll be quick too. With both of your grades, your future
child can beat up the entire kindergarten.”

“It’s… too early.”

When the two omegas shook hands, they glanced at one another.

Yan Yi put one hand into his pocket and bent down slightly, speaking with a
soft and gentle voice, “The windmill jasmine in the garden had just
bloomed beautifully, but I was afraid you and the baby might be allergic, so
I didn’t pick it. You are more beautiful than I imagined.”

The butterfly omega’s cheeks blushed from being looked at by the pair of
light grey eyes. He hid behind Bi Ruijing and slightly revealed half his face
as he peeked at Yan Yi in a cautious manner. “Hm. Thank you.”

The baby in Bi Ruijing’s arms had been in a daze, neither crying nor
making any noise as he stared at Yan Yi’s rabbit ears.

Lu Shangjin lightly touched the baby’s cheek. “Heh, so soft.”

“I’ll let you hold him. My son is so cute.” Bi Ruijing placed the baby in Lu
Shangjin’s arms, “Come on, praise him.”

Lu Shangjin didn’t really know how to hold him, afraid that using too much
strength would break this fragile meatball that can be lifted with one palm.

Yan Yi was afraid that Lu Shangjin would drop someone else’s baby, so he
held the baby carefully on one side. “Don’t hurt him.”

A small sock fell to the ground. Yan Yi bent down to pick it up and put it
back on his feet. The chubby little feet looked like a small light red steamed
bun, feeling tender and soft as it stepped on the back of his hand. Yan Yi’s
heart melted, and his eyes had already gently turned into a pool of water.
A very ordinary image froze in Lu Shangjin’s eyes. He couldn’t tell what he
was expecting or what he was afraid of.

Yan Yi seemed to be asking him unintentionally, “Do you like babies?”

Lu Shangjin was a little silent, his eyes reserved.

With dangers lurking around, he couldn’t think about these things now.

Yan Yi generally understood what Lu Shangjin meant. He looked down and

silently put the sock on the baby.

He felt tightening around his waist. Lu Shangjin suddenly grabbed him and
whispered in his ear, “I like you, you’re a baby.”

“…” Yan Yi raised his rabbit ears to push Lu Shangjin’s face away, his
disappointed heart feeling much better.

The butterfly omega took the baby back from Lu Shangjin’s arms and
gently touched Yan Yi’s hand, his cheeks lifting as he looked at him.
“They’re going to drink. I’ll take you somewhere to eat.”

The entire winery covered 800 acres, and the outer periphery was a
mountain resort. The small estate was exquisitely tended to, with every type
of greenery planted with great care. After small talk, he found that these
flowers were grown by this butterfly omega himself.

A long table was completely covered with desserts and various dishes for
guests to help themselves to.

“My name is Tan Meng, the ‘Meng (dream)’ from Zhuang Zhou’s dreams
of butterflies.” The omega sat at the long table with the baby and picked a
piece of cherry syrup mousse for Yan Yi, “I made this, try and see if it suits
your taste.”

Yan Yi tried a piece. This proud and cute-looking little omega was really
skilled.
He sincerely praised, “You’re excellent in gardening and such a master at
baking.”

An ordinary omega who normally grew flowers, baked desserts, and even
had an alpha who loved him dearly; it was a perfect and comfortable life
that Yan Yi yeared for.

Yan Yi could feel the little butterfly’s gland energy, which did not reach the
M2 grade, but was still stronger than J1. Although not comparable to the A3
gland, he was by no means weak or fragile, and he was still young.

Tan Meng gently patted the baby’s back, rocking him to sleep. After the
baby fell asleep, he handed him to the nanny beside him before stretching
his legs and leaning back against the long table, slightly raising his elegant
and delicate chin.

“Before, Lu Shangjin called to ask me for two million yuan and took a card
from me. It should be for you right?”

Yan Yi thought about the bank card from before, which had a common
password and a butterfly shaped sticker on it.

“He asked me to help him…” Tan Meng made a playful gesture of washing
laundry. “You can spend that money without worrying. Lu Lin won’t track
you down.”

“…” Yan Yi looked at him in bewilderment.

Seeing Yan Yi’s expression, Tan Meng looked him up and down strangely,
“He didn’t tell you? Oh, it’s okay. Everyone in the circle knows what kind
of person Lu Lin is. Your glands are so rare, he’s definitely keeping an eye
on you. The alphas in the peregrine falcon family have the ability to locate
and track. If you have Lu Shangjin’s pheromones on you, or spend his
money, it’d be very easy to find you.”

“Not marking me… is to protect me?” The expression on Yan Yi’s face
gradually faded as he stared blankly at the cherry syrup of the mousse cake
trickling on the plate.
“This was because three years ago, Lu Shangjin blew up Lu Lin’s gene
database,” Tan Meng said, as though he was telling a joke with cunning
eyes, “The entire set of computers were destroyed, including your
pheromone records. Lu Lin can only use Lu Shangjin’s pheromones to
catch you now. As long as Lu Shangjin doesn’t mark you, he definitely
won’t be able to find you.”

“How did I… not know all of this?”

It was as if the dense fog and haze that had been blocking and trapping him
gradually dispersed from his heart. Yan Yi felt completely muddled.

He stared dazedly into the wine tasting room. Lu Shangjin was holding a
wine glass, slightly awake, as he measured the quality of the red wine.
Champagne coloured flames on the ceramic candle holders flickered,
reflecting on Lu Shangjin’s side profile and casting deep shadows.

Xia Pingtian was present as well. He sniffed the fragrance in the glass as he
listened cheerfully to Bi Ruijing talking about his son with great delight.

“Actually, I just wanted to be sure when I sent my son to test his

differentiation potential. I didn’t expect that the stinky brat is a real fighter.”

Bi Ruijing was quite proud, a complete contrast to his usual dignified and
stable elite appearance.

Xia Pingtian clicked his tongue as he smiled, “Just remembering the

playboy of our army troop, Rui ge. He has broken away from evil and
returned to the right path, becoming a wife slave.”

“Leave.” Bi Ruijing shushed, “No one can handle that little goblin acting
like a demon. It’s a childish temper. It’s like I’m raising two sons now.”

“Teach him a lesson then.” Xia Pingtian rolled up his sleeves, “Hey, don’t
worry about anything else. Just give a tight smack and it’ll be taken care
of.”
“Fuck you…” Bi Ruijing laughed angrily. “Do you dare lay a hand on your
Xiao Jing when he pisses you off?”

“Him?” Xia Pingtian shook his head, “If I touch him even a little, he could
directly blow up my house.”

“By the way, our Xiao Jing has a child’s temper. I apologize on his behalf
for pretending to call you the other time. Don’t argue with someone
unknowledgeable like him.” Xia Pingtian looked at Lu Shangjin and put his
hands together, smiling helplessly. “I can’t control this little kid too. Ai, I’ll
let my dad beat him when we go back.”

Since Xia Pingtian spoke this much, Lu Shangjin couldn’t say anything
more. He didn’t plan to do anything to a little boy who didn’t graduate from
college in the first place. Besides, he was his friend’s most precious little
brother.

It was just that his little rabbit at home was too enchanting, so he had to be
careful.

“I have to pick up a call.” Xia Pingtian pointed to his phone. “It’s from the
hospital.”

“Hello? It’s me. Say it.”

“What…?” The smile on Xia Pingtian’s face froze, and his frown rose, “It’s
useless asking me, go find a way. Fuck!”

Lu Shangjin and Bi Ruijing looked at Xia Pingtian at the same time.

Xia Pingtian said in a fluster:

“The baby your dad left has multiple organ failures. They’re trying to save
him now!”

While Tan Meng was pouring Yan Yi a cup of black tea, Bi Ruijing
suddenly appeared by the door, his expression unpleasant, “There’s an
urgent matter, we’re making a trip to the hospital.”

Tan Meng wrinkled his beautiful eyebrows, “What happened?”

Bi Ruijing glanced at Yan Yi and couldn’t hold back the words that were
about to come out of his mouth. Across the doorway, Yan Yi saw Lu
Shangjin hurrying downstairs with his coat.

The three of them left in a rush. Tan Meng couldn’t sit still as well, so he
asked the nanny to bring him his coat.

Completely indifferent, Yan Yi lowered his head to eat the cake.

“Are you coming with me?” Tan Meng turned the car keys between his
fingers, “Your alpha seemed very worried.”

“I’m not going.” Yan Yi ate the cake quietly.

He was used to not pursuing matters that Lu Shangjin did not want him to
know about, so as to give each other some space and decency.

Now, their relationship had already eased a lot. Lu Shangjin seemed to have
really changed his character. Yan Yi didn’t want to cause complications. He
didn’t want to see anything that he shouldn’t be seeing and ruin the trust
that had just been restored between them.
“Hm, don’t spoil Lu Shangjin too much…I have to go and take a look.” Tan
Meng put on his coat and hurried downstairs.

Yan Yi had no choice. It made one worry to let such a little capsicum1 go
out by himself.

Tan Meng drove fiercely, and it could be seen that Bi Ruijing was the one
who taught him those skills. Sitting in the passenger seat, Yan Yi could only
hold onto the armrest tightly all the way until they arrived at An Fei Ya
hospital.

Even if a two-week old infant who suffered from multiple organ failures
was cured, the possibility of having serious aftereffects was extremely high.
The most that could happen was damage to the nervous system, such as
cerebral palsy.

Yan Yi entered the hospital and saw Lu Shangjin sitting on the ground
outside the intensive care unit.

Lying inside, with the glass against its back was the corpse of an infant, stiff
and ashen.

Yan Yi’s heart suddenly clenched, his vision turning dark for a moment.

Was it Lu Shangjin’s child?

He didn’t want to get closer, but Tan Meng caught his wrist and brought
him to Lu Shangjin.

Lu Shangjin was leaning against the glass curtain wall. Even though he was
dressed neatly, there was still a trace of dejection and soullessness in his
vacant gaze.

With hands on the glass, Yan Yi watched the infant sleeping peacefully
inside. It was a peregrine falcon baby, its wrinkly face thin and pitiful,
which would have been handsome and lovely if it grew up. It’s a pity that it
died before it was a full month old.
Even if this was Lu Shangjin’s baby with another omega, Yan Yi was still
unable to take pleasure in someone else’s misfortune, his sadness
transmitting from his fingers through the glass.

Lu Shangjin said in a low and hoarse voice:

“It’s Ye Wan’s child. My little brother.”

Yan Yi’s fingers quivered as he stared down at him with wide eyes, “Ten
years ago, didn’t Uncle Wan already…”

Lu Shangjin rubbed his face and stood up unsteadily, “I’m going to the
washroom.”

He staggered. Being without rest after driving for an entire day and having
received a sudden thunderbolt from a clear sky, his spirit was seriously
damaged. Feeling extremely exhausted, Lu Shangjin vomited into the
bathroom sink, so much that he even saw blood.

Despite the water force in the tap turning on to the strongest, the sound of
rushing water couldn’t block out the buzzing in his head. A soft and lively
little body stiffened and faded in front of his eyes, and Lu Shangjin could
only look through the glass as the last trace left in the world by his most
beloved father was taken away.

Nothing was left for him.

Yan Yi came in with a paper cup of warm water and hurriedly lifted him up,
letting him rinse his mouth before washing his face for him.

Like a drunkard, Lu Shangjin leaned most of his weight onto Yan Yi and
hugged his omega tightly into his arms.

“I’ll never get to see him again.” Lu Shangjin said in a muffled voice, “He’s
completely gone- he used my gun- and bang.”

He held Yan Yi’s cheeks and leaned in close to him. Yan Yi could clearly
see his eyeballs were densely bloodshot as his eyes trembled with extreme
sorrow and fear. Every cell in his body was hysterically howling in pain,
unable to be relieved.

He embraced Yan Yi into his arms.

“Yan Yan, why do I bleed the same blood as a scum like Lu Lin, why!”

Lu Shangjin gritted his teeth and buried his head into Yan Yi’s neck, his
whole body trembling.

“I know. Let’s go home first.” Yan Yi patted Lu Shangjin’s back and tried
his best to release pheromones to comfort his hurt alpha.

He was too much like a wounded beast. When licking his wounds, the
fragility and helplessness in his eyes were inadvertently revealed.

April was coming to an end, and the green plants along the road were
sprouting. Willow catkins occasionally swept past the windshield as the
gentle breeze filled one’s nose.

Lu Shangjin leaned against the door of the passenger seat and slept. Before,
no matter how busy the company was, Lu Shangjin would never show such
a defenseless and tired expression.

Yan Yi had only ever seen Lu Shangjin’s uncontrollable rage the day they
broke up three years ago.

It was in the past.

Yan Yi reached out a hand, gently interlocked his fingers with Lu

Shangjin’s left ones which were hanging down, and rubbed the wedding
ring on his finger.

Let these painful three years pass as a dream. Everything can start again,
like how all things on earth come back to life in April, sprouting from
branches. From now on, every time their hands clasped together, it would
be like a willow catkin brushing across the heart, letting the sincere feelings
in their childhood and the fiery enthusiasm of their teenage years
completely deliver to the gentleness and steadiness of the present. This
would prove that his adoration that he had exhausted all his life wasn’t like
a moth to a flame.

He carried Lu Shangjin back to the bedroom. A strong alpha of 1.9 meters

wasn’t light, so when Yan Yi put Lu Shangjin onto the bed, he was almost
brought down with him.

He went to the pantry next door to pour a cup of warm water, and when he
returned, he saw Lu Shangjin had already fallen asleep, breathing evenly.

Yan Yi placed the warm water by the bedside and hesitated for a moment,
then sat on the carpet with his back against the edge of the bed.

Since the breakup, he was rarely permitted into Lu Shangjin’s room to rest.
Only when Lu Shangjin was too used to eating delicacies outside and
wanted to taste something light to cleanse his palate, would he occasionally
have the mood to have fun with him. He would then be able to lie for a
while on the bed full of the smell of narcissus pheromones and get out as
soon as they were done, not being allowed to relax his weak legs for even a
moment.

Now, Yan Yi had already gotten into the habit of trying his best not to stay
in Lu Shangjin’s bedroom, let alone getting onto his bed.

He silently hugged his legs as he sat on the carpet.

The scent of narcissus pheromones filled the air. He would never get tired
of being wrapped with a sense of security by the alpha’s pheromones. Even
so, he was satisfied with this and didn’t want to ask for too much.

Lu Shangjin’s breath was suddenly close to his neck.

“Don’t sit here.” He wasn’t very awake and lay sleepily on the edge of the
bed.

Startled, Yan Yi took the cup of water and brought it to his mouth, “Drink
some water.”
“I don’t want to drink.” Lu Shangjin dragged Yan Yi back, lifting one leg to
press onto him, and lying sideways as he wrapped the little rabbit into a ball
to hold, the tip of his nose and lips pressing against the soft rabbit ears. His
heart, wrapped in the warm chest that was pressing close to Yan Yi,
pounded quickly. Lu Shangjin’s fingers slightly trembled as he hugged him,
deeply breathing in the soft scent of pheromones on Yan Yi’s nape.

Yan Yi quietly stayed with him and released even more pheromones for
him. The omega’s milk candy pheromones balanced out the irritable and
anxious scent of narcissus in the room. When the restless narcissus
pheromones finally adopted the omega’s gentle comfort, it even
unguardedly entwined with it.

Yan Yi traced his finger along the bridge of Lu Shangjin’s nose, then helped
him smoothe out the tightly knitted brows.

His alpha needed him.

He tried to reach out to turn off the lights, but was powerless to the body
hugging him tightly, like he was being bound by a giant octopus, and
couldn’t reach the switch.

The breath that carried the light scent of pheromones swept over Yan Yi’s
nape. With difficulty, Yan Yi turned around in Lu Shangjin’s arms and
kissed the corner of his lips, then raised his little rabbit ears to cover Lu
Shangjin’s eyes.

Lu Shangjin was extremely exhausted and slept from the afternoon until the
next evening.

His arms and the bedside were empty.

When the harsh sound of the dishes shattering rang from the first floor, Lu
Shangjin was abruptly shaken awake.

He put on his slippers and went downstairs.

The smell of beef steak wafted from the dining room.

Yan Yi was squatting by the dining table, picking up the broken porcelain
pieces. His fingers had cramped up suddenly just now and he didn’t hold
the plate steady.

The sound of footsteps hurried down from the second to the first floor.
When Yan Yi looked up to see Lu Shangjin, his fingertips accidentally
scraped against the sharp porcelain.

It didn’t hurt at that moment, and he only discovered that the small wound
was deep enough when it started seeping blood.

“What’s the matter with you!” Lu Shangjin went over and dragged Yan Yi
out of the pile of broken porcelain pieces. He took Yan Yi’s finger and
squeezed the blood, “Wait here, don’t move.”

The alcohol and band-aids were originally placed in the medical kit in the
bathroom, but they had been rummaged through from Lu Shangjin’s tossing
about when he was in his rut, so he could only go to the storeroom to get a
new one.

“Thank you.” With a sweet look in his eyes, Yan Yi was overwhelmed by
favour as he waited obediently.

Jin ge was more considerate than the day before.

Lu Shangjin spent more time looking for the alcohol than expected. Yan Yi
waited patiently, his little rabbit ears bouncing around in boredom.

Where did he go to find the alcohol…the wound would soon heal if he

didn’t come back.

When Lu Shangjin returned, his expression was a little odd.

He placed the alcohol and band-aids in front of Yan Yi before watching him
disinfect and bandage himself.

“Why are you looking at me…” Yan Yi’s expression had also started to
become uncomfortable as he looked at Lu Shangjin strangely.
Lu Shangjin opened his palm, and on it was the examination report folded
into a small piece.

Shocked, Yan Yi tried to take the examination report back, “Why did you
touch my things again…did you see what’s on it?”

“…” Lu Shangjin held the examination report between his fingers and
stretched his hand out where Yan Yi couldn’t reach, “When did this
happen?”

His little rabbit ears flicked lightly to hide his uneasiness.

Yan Yi’s eyelids drooped as he answered softly, “It was when…we were in
the dining room. You didn’t wear it, and I didn’t take the pill either.”

Lu Shangjin pressed his temple as he clenched the examination report in his

hand and smashed it on the table.

Yan Yi backed away from Lu Shangjin in fright, hugging his belly as he

retreated to the corner, “You don’t like it?”

“…I’ll raise it myself…I’ll raise it myself…I won’t bother you…”

Lu Shangjin moved closer to him and reached out.

Like a frightened rabbit, Yan Yi shut his eyes and squatted down, shrinking
himself into a ball and trembled in fear.

“Let me keep this baby, I’m begging you, I won’t disturb you when you
play with anyone in the future. I’m begging you, please don’t kill it, I really
want it, I want the baby…”

Lu Shangjin watched him in dismay.

Had he gone too far with Yan Yi, that he only dared to secretly have a
checkup even when he was pregnant, yet not daring to tell his alpha about
it?
It turned out that Yan Yi had been treading on thin ice around him. For this
poor little rabbit, Lu Shangjin was not the most dependable alpha he could
rely on, but a demon who would steal his child at any moment.

“Don’t- don’t be scared…” Lu Shangjin squatted down, hooking his fingers

and softly rubbing Yan Yi’s wet eyelashes. He picked up the trembling little
rabbit and gently stroked his back, carrying him to the sofa in the living
room and whispering in his ear, “I didn’t say that I don’t like it, I didn’t say
that I don’t want it.”

Yan Yi lifted his gaze, his light grey pupils glistening with a layer of tears:

“If it’s merely a little bunny O…”

“I’ll still love him.” Lu Shangjin planted a kiss between Yan Yi’s eyebrows,
like the tender promise he made when he was seventeen.

Yan Yi froze for a moment. He then hugged Lu Shangjin’s neck, unable to

contain the tears from spilling out of his tear ducts along his cheeks and
onto Lu Shangjin’s nape.

“Jin ge…have I waited long enough… that you’ve finally returned?”

Lu Shangjin lowered his head and responded to the little rabbit’s

expectation with a long kiss.

At the age of thirty, he could relax his heart and be at peace.

In the bedroom at night, it was extremely touching.

Two kinds of pheromones diffused into sweet aphrodisiacs, entwining and

coupling as they submerged together.

Lu Shangjin was very patient, using sufficient soothing pheromones and his
skills to give Yan Yi the most comfortable experience to make up for their
lack of compatibility.

Yan Yi stuck to him, seeking after him, holding his neck as he whispered in
his ear again and again:
“Jin ge, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you…”

Even when it hurt, hidden inside, his heart still beat with enthusiasm.

At three in the morning, Lu Shangjin coaxed Yan Yi to sleep and closed the
bedroom door.

The small coffee table on the balcony was still in the same miserable sight
as it was in when it had toppled over. Lu Shangjin ignored it as he sat on the
ground with his back against the railing, lighting up his cigarette.

May was soon approaching and the temperature at night was no longer
terrifyingly freezing.

This child might be a gift from the gods, bringing him hope when he had
lost everything.

He had only one thought in his mind; never to let Lu Lin find out and stir up
his life that had just returned to peace, trampling and extinguishing his only
hope.

He smoked on the balcony all night.

Three days later, he drove Yan Yi to An Fei Ya hospital for a formal

checkup.

The set of examinations took several hours to finish. It was very exhausting.
While Lu Shangjin’s driver sent Yan Yi back home to rest, he stayed in the
hospital to wait for the results.

When he received the examination report, there was inexplicable

excitement in his heart. A little fella of his own blood was quietly gestating
in his belly. It was a mysterious and sacred thing.

After reading them one by one, Lu Shangjin’s face turned from white to
green.

As if the stems of a row of bright blooming haitang flowers were cut off by
a sickle.
 Chap 41

Before dinner time, Yan Yi looked down to take care of the roses in the
flowerpot. Withered flower petals fell onto the table every day, and Yan Yi
would then pick them up one by one and press them into an old book,
which was a temporary replacement for his notebook.

The loose roses were more misshapen than when he first got them.
However, even though they had changed beyond recognition, Yan Yi still
treasured them, because happiness from a dream come true was not easy to
come by.

Lu Shangjin’s assistant was very efficient. He soon brought back the

miscellaneous items he had left at Ruins bar. After getting his things back,
Yan Yi searched for a long time and checked repeatedly, but his notebook
really wasn’t in there.

When he called the assistant, the assistant apologized repeatedly and said
that everything in the room had been brought back, and if there was
anything he forgot, he would go back to look for it again.

Yan Yi wasn’t used to bothering others, so he could only say that he found
it.

Jin ge had already come back, and that notebook was no longer important.
The score Yan Yi had given Lu Shangjin for the past few days had already
been off the charts. Once the baby was born and this love crystallised,
perhaps there wouldn’t be an occassion to reduce his score anymore.

Yan Yi sat back against the corner of the sofa and glanced at the quartz
clock on the wall. He didn’t know if Lu Shangjin was still waiting for the
examination results and wanted to call him, but the call didn’t go through
when he dialed his number.

So, he just sent him a text.

‘Darling, are you coming back for dinner tonight?’

The message was like a stone falling into the sea.

Yan Yi looked at the screen, his heart feeling empty. The address “darling”
would only be sweet if there was an answer.

He waited until 5:30 in the evening, but Lu Shangjin had not returned. After
thinking about it, he decided to prepare dinner first and wait while
preparing.

Yan Yi put on his apron and sorted the bow at the back, exposing his little
tail to breathe. With a pair of soft suede slippers on, he stirred the creamy
fish soup in the pot.

“Baby, we’re having fish soup today. You have to eat more later. Little
bunnies have to be round and soft to be cute.”

Yan Yi held his belly and stroked it gently. When Lu Shangjin wasn’t
around, the baby in his belly had become a little angel accompanying him
to pass his loneliness.

If it were a peregrine falcon baby, that would be good as well. He hoped

that it could have a more gentle temper.

Yan Yi counted the days in anticipation of the arrival of this wonderful little
angel.

The sound of footsteps came from the door. Yan Yi’s ears suddenly stood up
before he hurriedly turned off the fire and took off his apron, quickly
walking to the door and prepared to welcome his alpha home.

The front door opened, but five to six doctors in white coats burst in all of a
sudden.
Yan Yi took two steps back and watched them vigilantly, “What are all of
you doing?”

There was a round branding on the neck of the doctor standing in front:
PBB000576. The other doctors also had the PBB serial numbers on various
parts of their body, and most were alphas of J1 grade.

“We’re here to deal with Yan-xiansheng’s false pregnancy. This type of

false pregnancy can cause serious harm to the body and must be treated as
quickly as possible.” The doctor put down the medical kit and gestured to
the several physician assistants he brought along, “Inject the anaesthetic
first.”

Four physicians swarmed him. Two of them grabbed Yan Yi’s arms while
another one grabbed his hips to press him onto the sofa, and the last one
took out a vial of anesthetic and sterile cotton balls.

“Let go of me!” Yan Yi had just recovered from the shock and struggled
desperately, screaming, “It’s not a false pregnancy! I checked beforehand
that I have a little bunny! Where did you all come from!”

A tube of anesthetic instantly spread to his four limbs along his blood
vessels. Yan Yi’s struggles grew weaker and weaker. Due to being
excessively frightened, the colour in his cheeks paled. He struggled to reach
for his phone on the sofa and dialed Lu Shangjin’s number.

The moment the line connected, Yan Yi desperately tried to break free from
the doctor’s hand, exhausting all his strength as he said to the receiver in
despair, “Jin ge…help me…I’m scared…”

The phone hung up.

Yan Yi looked up with difficulty and saw Lu Shangjin standing in front of

him with his phone, his face cold and detached, completely indifferent.

He weakly reached out his hands to Lu Shangjin.

Expecting his alpha to pull him out of hell.

“Please help me, Jin ge…”

“Why are you angry…I’ll be good in the future…very obedient…”

Lu Shangjin’s condescending gaze paused for a second, and there was a

moment of hesitation.

The little rabbit looked like when he was younger, shivering as he knelt in a
pool of blood at the differentiation base, dropping the gun before crawling
over and opening his hand to him, feeling afraid and wanting Lu Shangjin
to take him away.

“They want to kill our baby…” Yan Yi’s fingers gripped the sofa, faint
bloodstains printed on the marks of his fingers.

The hesitation in Lu Shangjin’s eyes was instantly ignited by anger.

Yan Yi was enveloped by a wave of intense irritable pheromones.

Rich and full of aggressiveness, the scent of narcissus was like a pair of
invisible hands choking Yan Yi’s neck, making his legs and feet turn weak
and unable to move. With eyes wide open, he looked at Lu Shangjin in fear,
whose gaze was full of hostility.

Lu Shangjin forcefully grabbed the omega’s slender neck and pushed him
into the wall hard, pressing the weak little rabbit against the wall and
narrowing his eyes at him:

“You lied to me.”

His beloved alpha was standing in front of him, but Yan Yi would always be
shivering in fear when he touched him.

“Why…” He asked in astonishment and disbelief. Powerless to resist, he

could only shield his fragile lower abdomen.

A few doctors came to grab him. Lu Shangjin locked Yan Yi in his arms
and put his hands on his lower abdomen, pressing down forcefully, “I’ll do
it myself.”
The little rabbit that once only belonged to him was broken and dirtied by
someone else. He could only clean him up personally.

Instincts made Yan Yi unable to comply any more as he struggled

frantically to grab Lu Shangjin’s wrist, trying to break free from the
embrace that was restraining him. He shrieked in terror, “It hurts! Let go of
me!”

“Jin ge, you promised me that you would love the baby, you promised me…
I’ll take care of it alone, I’ll keep it a secret, please, please Jin ge…”

Lu Shangjin’s hands clenched with visible blue veins and trembled slightly.

He pressed Yan Yi down onto the floor and wrapped his arms around his
slim body from behind, his forearms tightening around his lower abdomen,
“You lied to me…what the hell did you and Xia Jingtian do when you were
preparing for the gland replacement operation at the hospital?”

Yan Yi’s vision blurred with tears. It hurt so much that he couldn’t even
complete a sentence, “I didn’t…I don’t know…I didn’t lie to you…”

Lu Shangjin gritted his teeth and gripped Yan Yi’s throat, forcing him to
look at the video on his phone.

It was a surveillance video recording: Xia Jingtian entered Yan Yi’s

intensive care ward and didn’t come out until the next morning.

“What was he up to for so long?” Lu Shangjin ruthlessly applied force,

accompanied by another shrill scream of misery from Yan Yi.

It wasn’t the false pregnancy that he hated.

But it was the false pregnancy that unexpectedly occurred during the few
days when he was on a business trip.

From the time when the examination report results came out till now, Lu
Shangjin did a lot of things. He first enquired about whether the danger of a
false pregnancy to a rabbit was to the point of death.
Later, he followed the usual traces and clues to associate with Xia Jingtian;
the voice messages sent, the irritable interrogation Xia Jingtian had with
Xia Pingtian when they were on the phone, and even his appearance next to
Yan Yi at any time.

He went to investigate the small inn where Yan Yi stayed. There was no
surveillance inside the inn, but there was outside. The surveillance showed
that Yan Yi had gone downstairs to pick up Xia Jingtian, who then put his
coat over Yan Yi and even gave him a bouquet of roses.

Lu Shangjin went to that little inn in person.

Business at the inn was bad. A few days after Yan Yi left, no one else
occupied the room he stayed at.

Just as he walked into this narrow room, he could smell the remaining scent
of an M2 alpha’s pheromones. The toilet was not ventilated, and it was
filled even more with the dense rut pheromones; it was like the scent of
baby’s breath burst into his nose provocatively.

This little kid whom he never paid attention to, had unexpectedly stolen his
wife under his nose.

It was because he thought that he knew Yan Yi too well, and never thought
that Yan Yi would lie to him, or would tell him such a big lie to humiliate
him.

“False pregnancy…and still faking the real pregnancy report. Is it so fun to

lie to me?”

“I should have known sooner. Rabbits are always in heat, it’s impossible for
such a slutty thing to not be fucked for a day, right?”

“Is it fun to play me for a fool?”

Yan Yi betrayed him. This punishment was what he deserved.

He was already determined to return to his peaceful life, having hope after
losing everything. Now, he learned that not only did this child not exist,
even his wife was knocked up by someone else.

Everything he had used to support his spirit was a facade. The dead left
him, and the living betrayed him. Lu Shangjin’s heart felt like it was
suddenly ripped open by sharp claws. The alpha’s dignity had been
unprecedentedly provoked and insulted.

“Tell me, how long have you been with Xia Jingtian? He cares so much
about you, has he already fucked you ripe? Does it feel good to sleep with
someone younger, Yan Yi?”

Lu Shangjin was so angry that his eyes seemed to nearly pop out, his mouth
cursing revolting insults as he ruthlessly tormented the little rabbit to death.

Yan Yi’s voice became weaker and weaker, the pain and fear making him
unable to think at all. He only knew that his most beloved alpha was
desperately pressing onto his stomach to kill his baby.

“Jin ge…I really didn’t lie to you…the exam…says it’s real…I really
have…a little bunny…”

A moment ago, Yan Yi was still faintly hoping that Lu Shangjin was
coming to save him.

These hands were once clearly willing to suffer serious injuries for him and
would hold him tightly to take him away from the abyss.

He had been deceived.

He had been deceived by Lu Shangjin’s deliberate use of forged tender

consideration. After years of waiting bitterly, dreaming in vain, he had
thought of countless possibilities of their future regardless of their past.
However, he just didn’t think that Lu Shangjin, who seemed to have
changed, was still cruel, but more so than before.

Yan Yi’s eyes lost their light as his blood gradually soaked through his
pyjama pants, a stream of heat flowing down his thighs and onto the floor.
Lu Shangjin threw down a medical examination report and casually
instructed the few doctors, “You all clean up the rest.”

The doctors standing five steps away were remaining silent out of fear,
shocked by the cold hostility in Lu Shangjin’s voice. They hurried over to
stop Yan Yi’s bleeding.

Yan Yi bit his pale lips. Trembling, he grasped the examination report and
looked at the elegant penmanship of the lab results, stunned into silence.

“Diagnosis of false pregnancy.”

It was clearly real.

He only wanted to give birth to a little bunny to accompany him, so that he

could feel less lonely whenever he misses Lu Shangjin at night.

He no longer had an alpha who loved him, and neither a little bunny
anymore.
 Chap 42

Edited & Proofread by: Ruthsic

Lu Shangjin slammed the door and left. He sat in the car and smoked one
cigarette after another, until his buzzing temples were completely numbed
and calmed by the nicotine.

Yan Yi’s fearful and pleading look came back to his mind.

Lu Shangjin pressed his chest as he lay on the steering wheel to endure the
rapid spasmic throbbing of his heart beat. Legs numb with icy coldness, he
couldn’t feel anything when he stepped on the accelerator.

This was probably the most unbridled manic rage he had ever experienced
in his life.

For the next two days, Lu Shangjin spent the night in the company and
didn’t go back home.

Most of the contracts piled on the desk had been signed, and only a stack of
Jiu’An Hong Ye contracts were left. Lu Shangjin didn’t have the mood to
open them at all, so he simply put them on hold.

At first, the president of Jiu’An Hong Ye called to ask for them, but dared
not ask again after sensing that something was wrong.

After the meeting, Xia Pingtian came out of the meeting room with his face
as black as coal.

What the hell was Lu Shangjin tossing about for? Was he going against the
Hong Ye Xia family? Several delayed contracts were almost overdue, yet he
didn’t do anything. What was he doing?
The baby left by his dad should have had a short life. It had multiple organ
failures, so who could save it? He wouldn’t go as far as to bury the Hong Ye
Xia’s name with it, would he?

The more he thought about it, the more his anger built up. He couldn’t help
but call Lu Shangjin. If he still didn’t pick up, he would ask the driver to
take him to Chang Hui immediately.

Lu Shangjin picked up after ten rings.

Xia Pingtian held back his fire and asked Lu Shangjin nicely.

Lu Shangjin asked lightly, “Did you help your little brother find Yan Yi?”

“Ah? I didn’t.” Xia Pingtian choked. He did help Xia Jingtian check, but he
probably didn’t do anything.

“You have a good little brother.”

Lu Shangjin hung up the phone.

Xia Pingtian’s breath caught in his throat. He then grabbed the assistant by
the collar, “Go, bring me the examination report of that someone Lu
Shangjin took for a check-up last time.”

He ripped off his tie in a fit of rage before going downstairs and drove to
Xia Jingtian’s school.

Xia Jingtian was usually too lazy to go home and occasionally stayed in the
dorms. The entrance guard uncle didn’t stop Xia Pingtian, letting him break
into the dormitory building with a few alphas.

Xia Jingtian was really too lazy to go home these days.

After coming back from Ruins bar, he had been holed up in school and
didn’t move much.

His roommate was bent over his desk working on a drawing, while he was
leaning against his bed with an old notebook, in a daze.
He brought this notebook out from the second floor bedroom of Ruins bar
and had gone through it several times so far.

This little rabbit’s handwriting was as delicate and pretty as himself.

Besides some memo notes written on the corner of the notebook, the
majority of it was like a diary where the happiness or unhappiness of life
were written down, and there would be scores related to Lu Shangjin
written beside.

Reading page after page, loneliness could be felt between the lines.

The score had clearly been reduced to a negative number, but a sentence of
“take you home” fully added it up again.

Ordinary, insignificant little things filled the entire notebook. It was like Xia
Jingtian walked through a decade accompanying a teenage little rabbit.

“Jingtian…are you okay?” His roommate put down his outliner pen and
hurried to Xia Jingtian’s bedside. Xia Jingtian was leaning against the
pillow with one leg bent; his eyelids were a little swollen and his eyes were
red, dispirited and listless.

“Have you ever liked someone so much that you feel heartache when you
look at them from afar?”

His roommate’s mouth opened slightly and he shook his head.

The hidden security door of the dormitory was kicked open with a loud
bang. Xia Pingtian walked in in an aggressive manner, while several burly
bodyguards rushed in and took the roommate out before shutting the door.

Only the two brothers were left in the room.

Xia Pingtian firmly grabbed Xia Jingtian’s arm and forcefully yanked him
down from the bed, then raised his hand to slap him, roaring with rage,
“How capable you are! You’re quite good, playing with someone’s wife
until they have a false pregnancy. You learn from the bad but not from
good. Fine, this is how I’ll fucking teach you!”
He withdrew the strength in his hand. But Xia Jingtian was still shocked by
his sudden slap.

“You like that little rabbit, don’t you?” Xia Pingtian slapped a pile of
examination reports onto Xia Jingtian’s hand, “Look how much misery you
caused someone – forced abortion of false pregnancy. Lu Shangjin did it
himself.”

Xia Jingtian gritted his teeth and looked down to glance over the
examination report. The four words ‘diagnosis of false pregnancy’ pricked
his eyes.

Forced abortion?

How much pain and fear he must have been in?

“I’m sorry…” Xia Jingtian flipped through the examination report,

surprised and flustered, “I accompanied him to get a checkup before, but
the examination said he really was pregnant.”

“Over so many years, the diagnoses at An Fei Ya hospital have never been
wrong.” Xia Pingtian turned his back and lit a cigarette to try to constrain
the anger washing over his irritable mind.

“There must be a problem. That hospital must have done something wrong,
I’ll go check it out.”

Xia Pingtian grabbed his wrist, “If you dare walk out of this door today,
don’t call me ge in the future.”

Xia Jingtian threw his hand off, “You think you’re capable of beating me to
death?”

With a malicious rage rushing to his head, Xia Pingtian suddenly activated
his J1 ability of gravity control, forcefully pressing Xia Jingtian onto the
floor before taking out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket to lock them
around Xia Jingtian’s hands.
“I’ll beat you to death when I get back, little beast. Go apologize to the one
surnamed Lu. This situation happened because you’re fucking
unreasonable, and you don’t feel wronged at all ,making me completely
lose face.” Xia Pingtian lifted his little brother, who was struggling with his
teeth gnashing in anger, and called the bodyguards to come and get him
down and take him away.

Xia Jingtian was then brought back home by his older brother and was
grounded for two days, not allowed to leave his room at all.

On the second night, Xia Pingtian felt uneasy and came in to have a look.

His little brother was lying on his back on the bed as he flipped through an
old notebook, his eyes dim.

Xia Pingtian placed the white fungus soup he brought in on the table and sat
on the edge of the bed, “Xiao Jingzi, have you come around? Will you
apologize?”

“If I wanted to apologize, I’d apologize to Yan Yi. The one surnamed Lu
isn’t worthy of it. He’s a scumbag, and has never put Yan Yi in his eyes.”
Xia Jingtian turned over, his back facing his brother, “You hit me and even
handcuffed me. You should apologize to me first.”

Xia Pingtian took a deep breath, “I’m sorry, okay? Turn around and let me
see if you’re hurt or not.”

When he turned around, Xia Pingtian looked down and saw that there
seemed to be a little swelling.

“Take an egg to put on it.” As soon as Xia Pingtian turned to ask the auntie
at home to cook an egg and looked back, Xia Jingtian raised his right hand
towards him.

“Fuck! You bastard, what are you…” The force of gravity around Xia
Pingtian instantly changed direction, catching him off guard as he was
sucked and flew out of the room, crashing into the wall with a bang.
Xia Jingtian slipped out from under his nose and even locked the door.

“Little brat! Come back here!”

The bedroom door was smashed to pieces with a loud crash.

——

Since Lu Shangjin started living at the company, it was like a mute button
had been pressed in the office building for four days, except for the
occasional sound of Lu Shangjin’s hurried footsteps passing by and
greetings from employees who were painstakingly overcautious of
offending him in the slightest.

President Zhao’s face was overcast when he came out of Lu Shangjin’s

office. He held a pile of messy documents in his hands which were
obviously thrown to the ground by Lu Shangjin before he hurriedly picked
them up.

Lu Shangjin wasn’t someone who would easily bring their personal feelings
into work. More often than not, he would generally be coldly indifferent
and uninterested in anything, and really wouldn’t be irritable.

In surprise, everyone was guessing whether some major changes had

happened to the big boss.

Four to five days passed and Lu Shangjin’s anger had faded into numbness.
His head cleared a little as he scrolled through his phone repeatedly.

There was no news from Yan Yi.

Shouldn’t Yan Yi apologize to him?

Whether it was the video or false pregnancy, it was all Yan Yi’s fault. No
matter how fickle he was, at least he would never seek pleasure when he
hadn’t broken up with Yan Yi.

Yan Yi’s expression of frantic struggling and pleading cry came to his mind
again.
He kept saying that he didn’t know, kept saying that he was really pregnant
with a baby.

So many years had passed, and the words he and Yan Yi spoke to each other
became fewer and fewer. In the end, there was nearly not much of an
exchange outside of their missions. However, after thinking about it
carefully, Yan Yi really had never lied to him before.

After his wrath, some traces and clues that didn’t make sense suddenly
poured into his mind.

At that time, if he hadn’t messed up the medical kit when looking for
inhibitors, he wouldn’t have gone to the storage room to look for alcohol,
nor would he have found the pregnancy examination report that Yan Yi had
hidden under the pillow in the closet.

Yan Yi’s reaction had merely been of surprise and panic, but not a guilty
expression.

He obviously knew that if he were pregnant, he would definitely take him

to the hospital for a full examination. Why didn’t he resist then, and even
obediently followed him to have an examination?

Was it because he really believed that he was pregnant?

Since it was a false pregnancy, why did that hospital give a pregnancy
diagnosis?

Was it a misdiagnosis?

With a lot of details piecing together, it made Lu Shangjin, who had always
been sensitive and vigilant, to not believe that this was just a coincidence.

In fact, if he could have been more calm and trusted Yan Yi a little more
then, he would not have done something so out of line.

He should have thought of it sooner; Yan Yi would hardly lie.

Feeling agitated again, he would rather not think about these things and
continue to feel at ease and justified by blaming Yan Yi for all the mistakes
the two should have borne together.

But what if Yan Yi didn’t lie to him?

Would he be thinking that he deliberately killed his baby to this day?

Lu Shangjin stood up with a cold expression, taking his suit jacket and car
keys.

He wanted to ask him clearly.

His forced compression for his false pregnancy abortion was just to punish
him, to give him a good feel of pain and simplyfor him to reflect on his
mistakes.

Moreover, the false pregnancy should be dealt with as soon as possible or it

would do more harm.

Yan Yi couldn’t mistake him for a murderer; this he couldn’t bear.

He had to ask him clearly.

The assistant walked in and hurried to stop Lu Shangjin when he saw that
he wanted to leave, “The meeting today is very important, you can’t not
attend it.”

Lu Shangjin pushed the assistant aside irritably, “Go change the time to
next week.”

It was only a half an hour drive from the company to home. On the way, Lu
Shangjin ran several red lights. Perhaps he didn’t like to be misunderstood,
but besides this reason, Lu Shangjin couldn’t understand the panic that he
was about to lose something.

When he opened the door, he found that it was unlocked. The string in his
heart which wound tighter and tighter immediately stretched taut and he
instantly felt pain.
There was a puddle of dried water marks spilled on the floor of the foyer.

The ceramic flower vase was broken into several pieces and the withered
roses were lying in the water, their slightly curled petals scattered all over
the ground.

Lu Shangjin froze and focused his eyes on one point, a dried petal reflecting
in the pupils of his eyes.

“Yan Yan?”

Lu Shangjin walked into the dining room, hoping to see the little rabbit still
making fish soup in the kitchen.

The kitchen was empty and the pot of fish soup was still there, the soup
emitting a spoiled and putrid smell.

He searched around the large house, but there was no trace of Yan Yi
anywhere.

“Did you…go out?” Lu Shangjin stood in the empty living room, trying to
think of where else Yan Yi might be.

He suddenly thought of a place and quickly headed to the storage room,

opening the closet door, “Why are you sleeping here again?”

The pillows and quilts in the closet were in a mess, with the things scattered
everywhere, and the white sheets still stained with dried blood.

Yan Yi wasn’t here.

But he could imagine the little rabbit once hiding here in fear, hugging a
pillow and trembling in the dark as he waited for someone to take him away
or save him with soothing pheromones.

Lu Shangjin held the closet door and was frozen for a long time. His heart
that was hot from anger gradually turned cool and a layer of frost formed.
There was an old book by the pillow. It was a thin palm-sized book which
he had often seen Yan Yi holding recently.

He picked it up and looked through it. The water of the petals that were
pressed inside before had been absorbed by the pages, turning them into
thin pieces of specimens that were semi-dry.

Some feelings were occasionally written on the black spaces.

‘I thought I didn’t like roses, but my nose still turned sour when I received a
bouquet of them, because he gifted them to me.’

‘Baby is half a month old, is very good every day, unlike other babies, kick
kick kick kick and making daddy feel tired and uncomfortable.’

Turning to another page, there were a few names starting with the word
“Lu”. The little rabbit had written a dozen or so of it and circled the names
that sounded good.

Lu Shangjin saw that he had circled “Lu Yuan” and crossed out “Lu Yan”.

Did he think that his own name shouldn’t appear on the baby?

Yan Yi…

Really thought that he was pregnant with his baby.

And he firmly believed it. He had looked forward to the arrival of the baby
even more each day.

Lu Shangjin’s legs turned soft as he stumbled into the door, his face
gradually stiffened and turned pale.

He sniffed carefully. The narrow room was permeated with the scent of
opium poppy pheromones.

There was a strand of sticky spider web on the door handle.

 Chap 43

Edited & Proofread by: Jie

Yan Yi opened his eyes and was enveloped by a strange pheromone scent.

He struggled to get up, but his spine felt heavy as if it was nailed to a pillar.
He reached out to touch his back. There was indeed a light metal injector
nailed to his spine as a cold liquid drug poured into his body along the
crevices of his spine. Most of his body felt cold and numb.

There was darkness around without a single ray of light. He stretched out a
hand to feel where he was, but he just reached out to over ten centimetres
before he touched a barbed wire fence.

Just by extending an arm, Yan Yi had already exhausted the strength in his
entire body. He laid on his side as he panted weakly, losing his spirits to
continue his search.

Someone pushed open the door to enter, and turned on the light.

Like a poisonous snake sticking out its tongue, the extremely rich scent of
opium poppy rolled over. It belonged to an M2 high-grade alpha.

Yan Yi was unable to open his eyes from the harsh light. After a while, he
squinted his eyes, only then could he clearly see the current circumstance he
was in.

He was locked in a narrow animal cage lined with barbed wire on one side.

Shao Wenjing squatted down beside him. He stretched out his finger into
the cage and gently touched his cheek, licking his lower lip, “You’re finally
awake. I saved you from hell, aren’t you going to thank me?”
Yan Yi raised his eyes with difficulty and looked at him in a daze, the light
grey pupils of his eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dust.

Shao Wenjing sat down in front of him and opened the cage door before
touching his cheek gently.

His cheeks were streaked with tears, but no expression could be seen on his
face.

Three years ago, he had investigated the lop-eared rabbit omega, who was
Lu Shangjin’s beloved wife, kept in a golden house and who unexpectedly
possessed the rare A3 glands. Since then, he had been thinking of ways to
seize this little rabbit.

However, Lu Shangjin was an extremely insane man. After stealing his

things, there was no telling of what appalling revenge he could come up
with.

So he could only continue to make Lu Shangjin bored of this little rabbit a

little more. As long as the little rabbit firmly believed that he was pregnant,
have an abortion because of Lu Shangjin, and let them willingly go their
separate ways, he could benefit from it.

In fact, Shao Wenjing thought he hadn’t done much other than occasionally
fanning the winds and lighting a fire at the right time, freeing the two
people who were tormenting themselves as soon as possible. If they really
were a pair of mandarin ducks whose love was stronger than gold, how
could they be easily separated?

Yan Yi didn’t move, his rabbit ears drooping down morbidly.

His eyes were already covered by the despair of loneliness, no feelings

could be shown at all, like a walking corpse.

Shao Wenjing tutted as he opened the cage and carried Yan Yi out, gently
placing his soft body in his arms, “Come, let’s go out for a while.”

Yan Yi gently pushed him away and murmured absently, “Not going.”
“Let’s go, it’ll be better for your body to take a walk outside.” Shao
Wenjing gave him a cordial smile.

The maple trees in the courtyard grew luxuriously green by the hot spring
pool. Shao Wenjing took his hand and led him to sit on the bench by the hot
spring.

“After a few months, these maple trees will turn red, and the red leaves will
float down onto the white steam of the water surface. It’s especially
beautiful.”

Shao Wenjing was like a spider sizing up the flying insects in its web,
slowly approaching its prey to be slaughtered.

His gaze swept over the glands at the back of Yan Yi’s neck several times.
Right now, the little lop-eared rabbit was still too fragile, perhaps he
wouldn’t be able to bear the bite of his sharp fangs.

The breeze blew open the collar of Yan Yi’s coat, revealing the cyan blue
serial number PBB000002 imprinted on his pale and frail chest.

This line of serial numbers was powerful proof.

Shao Wenjing couldn’t wait to bite through him and enter him, scraping off
the smell of Lu Shangjin in his body.

An A3 omega was nearly invulnerable. Their most fatal weakness was that
they could be instinctively infatuated with the alpha who marked them.
They would be driven by him, love him manically, and become a ruthless
sharp blade in his hands.

Therefore, without hesitating to turn back, he was reluctant to leave Lu

Shangjin’s favour.

“Are you sleepy?” Shao Wenjing held Yan Yi’s head and let him lean
against the hollow of his shoulder, “Where do you want to sleep?”

Yan Yi leaned against him stiffly without moving at all, like a statue.
“It’s established that Lu Shangjin is cold and heartless. You’d be worthless
if you stick by him and don’t leave. You can’t move him emotionally, you
can’t even move yourself.” Shao Wenjing leaned against the back of the
chair, putting his hands on the beam as he stretched out his long legs and
lazily crossed them.

Yan Yi lifted his eyelids rigidly as he showed some reaction.

No one could see the little prince in the castle through his eyes and hear the
sound of the piano that saved him from the abyss. They couldn’t feel the
warmth of the breeze blowing against his body when he was carried out of
the bloody differentiation base by Lu Shangjin. He was the one who had
saved him from a mountain of swords and a sea of flames.

So, in the eyes of others, his deep affections were worthless.

This made him feel more pain. No one understood what he had put his
whole heart into. No one cared. He could only be ignored or ridiculed.

No one understood his feelings at all.

Yan Yi touched his lower abdomen which had become flat again.

Now, he didn’t even understand it himself.

Lu Shangjin killed their baby himself.

All the gratitude, love and appreciation he had for Lu Shangjin had already
completely vanished once he decided to kill the little life in his stomach.

Lu Shangjin had mercilessly demolished the little cabin. High-rise buildings

rose from the flat ground, and the footprints climbing up the creeper vines
on the wall became unsightly traces that had to be erased.

(T/N: The author is probably describing this in a metaphorical sense)

Yan Yi was once invulnerable.

Like a piece of tempered glass, he could remain firm and unmovable no
matter how much he was beaten or knocked into.

But as long as the weakest part could be found, with a gentle tap, the entire
glass would explode into pieces, abruptly destroyed into dust.

What kind of things could suddenly be destroyed?

When you see an old tree and its dead vines falling to the ground with a
loud crash, you would only see the moment they were broken by the wind
and rain.

Thinking about it, it was very fragile.

It had suffered a hundred years with its heart rotting alone, but the birds on
its branches would only blame it for damaging their fallen nests.

Yan Yi looked at the hot spring in front of him as his mind wandered.

What would it feel like to be submerged in the water?

For the water to close in tightly and fill his nose, snatching away the air he
depended on to survive, stinging his windpipe, and finally letting him sink
to the bottom in permanent sleep; what kind of feeling would it be like?

It wouldn’t hurt as much as it did now, would it?

He touched the injector attached to his spine and wanted to rip it off.

“Don’t take it off, it’s just a gland energizer, it’ll make you feel a little more
comfortable.” Shao Wenjing thoughtfully released soothing pheromones for
him. Surprisingly, their compatibility fit wasn’t low.

Yan Yi could no longer spare any energy to resist the intense stimulation of
their high compatibility fit.

This was an emotionless barbaric world. Only animalistic desires and

plundering existed, no laws nor bottom line. The strongest became king,
and the mating of two people was only due to their level of compatibility,
born to reproduce more powerful offspring.

The A3 glands had undergone evolution that did not conform to the laws of
nature, going beyond the rules of this world and had become a unique
existence of mutation.

Such delicate feelings and devotion, laughable and inferior in the eyes of
others, should not exist in a world like this.. It was like a human falling in
love with an animal; an animal could respond to you, and similarly respond
to others, because its feelings were too feeble. There was no enthusiasm and
devotion, no long-term affection, only the level of compatibility fit.

So Ye Wan chose to leave.

Yan Yi was also about to completely disappear into ashes.

Living was too painful. So what if he was carried away by the tide?

“Why hang yourself from a tree to die? I’m more faithful than Lu Shangjin.
What’s more, our compatibility fit is 87%, I just measured it. Isn’t it
tempting?”

Yan Yi answered impassively.

“Oh, I’m very tempted.” Shao Wenjing carried Yan Yi and placed him on
his lap before gently kissing his neck.

“The Shao family is waiting for you to be my wife. You don’t have to do
anything, just listen to me, it’s very relaxed, right?”

“If you need, you can ask me to accompany you any time. I feel very
comfortable staying together with an omega of high compatibility.”

“Lu Shangjin is wasteful. He didn’t mark you nor let you fight for him. You
are a natural killing machine, why are you willing to be wronged by staying
in the kitchen with your whole body smelling of soot? From now on, I’ll
find suitable tasks for you, you have to do what you should do. The look of
you holding a gun is charming.”
Yan Yi looked at his own hand. The calluses from holding guns had long
disappeared. His soft,smooth fingers and thin arms could only do
housework.

“You just want children.” Shao Wenjing pulled him into his arms from
behind and put his chin on his shoulder, his soft voice bewitching him by
his ear.

“I would never hurt an omega, do you want to consider me and see?”

 Chap 44

Edited & Proofread by: Jie

White vapour steamed over the water’s surface. The breeze shook the green
maple trees, occasionally blowing off leaves that floated onto the water.

Yan Yi sat in a daze, his little rabbit ears unmoving.

“Are you cold, do you want to head back?” Shao Wenjing took him by the
shoulders. Every time he laid his hands on Yan Yi, he would quietly release
his M2 differentiative ability “mental paralysis”. Traces of toxins would
enter along Yan Yi’s glands into his brain, corroding his memory and
thinking.

The absent-minded omega was defenceless, so he was easily poisoned by

the paralyzing toxins.

Yan Yi answered indifferently, “Thirteen leaves have already fallen, I’ll

leave when another thirteen falls.”

The spider was used to waiting in ambush and had enough patience to wait
when he was hunting for prey.

Just by staying with an omega who he had a high compatibility with made
him feel comfortable, so he didn’t refuse.

The eleventh leaf fell. He waited with Yan Yi until nightfall.

Until Yan Yi leaned against him and fell into an unconscious sleep. Shao
Wenjing carried him and stood up, walked in front of the maple tree, and
casually plucked off two leaves before throwing them into the water.
“We can go back now.” He rarely went back on his words.

He took Yan Yi back to the windowless room and opened the cage door to
put Yan Yi back inside.

With half-opened eyes, Yan Yi’s lost focus regathered again. He trembled as
he went to grab Shao Wenjing’s shoulder, shivering when he touched his
collar, “Do you…want…my glands?”

Shao Wenjing held his cool fingertips, “Of course, which alpha wouldn’t
want to have you?”

“I’ll give it to you…I don’t want it anymore…” Yan Yi absently pulled his
fingers out of Shao Wenjing’s palm and tore forcefully at the glands at the
back of his neck, his nails scratching marks into his delicate skin.

“You can’t.” Shao Wenjing grabbed his hand and put Yan Yi into the cage
before lightly handcuffing his hand at the bottom of the cage, each of his
ten fingers locked separately in place just so that he couldn’t touch his
glands and the injectors fixed to his spine.

Only the most unsuccessful gland hunters would cut off the glands of high-
grade omegas to sell them. Highly experienced hunters would directly
plunder the omega altogether and then completely possess him from body
to heart.

He sat down on the ground and reached his finger through the gap of the
cage to gently touch Yan Yi’s cheek, “When you learn to be good, you can
stop sleeping in the cage, understood?”

Yan Yi gently loosened his fingers and tried to pull his hands out of the
handcuffs.

The lock on his ten fingers was an electric lock. When he struggled
desperately, it would release a small electric current that stimulated his skin,
the pain forcing him to stop struggling.
Yan Yi’s body turned stiff, a painful expression showing clearly on his face
as he curled up and stopped moving.

The servant walked up to Shao Wenjing and bowed as he brought the

phone, “Young master Wenchi called.”

Shao Wenjing revealed a light smile as he picked up the phone and listened
to his voice.

“Gege, it’s Friday, I got off school, why aren’t you the one picking me up?”
The little omega’s voice was extremely gloomy, sounding very
disappointed.

Shao Wenjing leaned back in his chair in a relaxed manner, “I’ve been too
busy these few days, I’ll go home next week.”

“Gege…” Shao Wenchi dragged on his cry, “You said you’d send me to
school before, I waited for you for so long but you didn’t come, so I went to
school by myself.”

Shao Wenjing’s face immediately darkened, “I asked the driver to pick you
up, he didn’t go?”

The little spider sniffed, “He came, but I didn’t get on. You promised me.
Teacher said you can’t go back on your words, stinky spidey.”

“It’s my fault. I had something urgent then and couldn’t leave, I won’t do it
again next time, okay?” Shao Wenjing’s eyes filled with doting love,
“Nothing dangerous happened right?”

Shao Wenchi was about to answer, but the person on the other line suddenly
changed to a woman. His head teacher said politely, “Shao-xiansheng,
Wenchi got 100 points in all three of his subjects this week, he’s really a
smart child.”

Shao Wenjing smiled, “Teacher is good at teaching.”

The female teacher laughed dryly.

After hanging up, Shao Wenjing sent a text to the butler asking him to
change the driver.

Before bed, Shao Wenjing went to see Yan Yi again.

Yan Yi’s body was bowed, his fluffball of a tail sticking up as his body
spasmed slightly.

With hands on the cage, Shao Wenjing examined him carefully. His fine
white toes were curled up abnormally, and there was a cartilage-like bulge
on the back of his foot.

“Got a cramp?” Shao Wenjing pressed open the handcuffs and carried the
little rabbit out to put him on the bed, squatting down and gently pulling his
toes.

Yan Yi only quietened down after returning back to his original state. He
huddled into the quilt as he silently looked at Shao Wenjing with innocent
eyes.

“Don’t look at me like that.” Shao Wenjing was stunned for a moment and
blocked his eyes. He laid down on the bed and gathered the little rabbit who
was huddled into a thin and small ball into his arms, lowering his head to
ask, “You don’t want to sleep in the cage, right?”

Yan Yi nodded, gently rubbing the skin of his fingers that were red and hot
from the electricity. Trembling, he grasped onto Shao Wenjing’s collar:

“Give me soothing pheromones.”

“…This is just like you.” Shao Wenjing raised the corner of his lips and
released soothing pheromones as he wished. Yan Yi didn’t resist anymore
and closed his eyes instead, stretching out his back.

“Sleep, I’ll bring you to a nice place after you rest.” Shao Wenjing gently
carressed his back and conveniently played with the fluffy tail ball, amazed
at the cotton-soft touch.
He patted Yan Yi’s leg, putting him to sleep peacefully with a hint of
anesthetic toxin.

The little rabbit slept quietly in his arms, his tiny breaths sweeping across
the skin of Shao Wenjing’s neck, like a baby bunny in its nursing period.
His finely-soft fluffy fur and milk-candy scent gently rubbed against him in
his sleep.

“Oh, it must be difficult to endure tonight.” Shao Wenjing closed his eyes
helplessly.

The next afternoon, Yan Yi’s spirit improved a lot and he could drink
porridge by himself.

“Let’s go, we’ll play something exciting.” Shao Wenjing leaned against the
bedroom door with a black jacket in his hand.

Yan Yi raised his eyelids, not the least bit interested, but he still went, as
obedient as a string puppet.

This manor was like another world isolated from noise, separated into a
deserted island by the surrounding woods and grasslands.

There was a wide training ground in the deepest area. This training ground
was connected to the outside world, where some assassins groomed by
families had turned this place into a club organization, often coming for gun
practice and bet boxing.

There were a lot of people when they came in. Most of them were alphas of
different grades, standing in front of different events, burning with ardour
and soaked with sweat. The smell of intensely rich and stimulating
pheromones infiltrated everywhere.

Yan Yi froze, his little rabbit ears drawing back timidly.

Someone noticed that two people had come in and was at first stunned, then
he laughed his head off, “An omega dares to come in here, look, his ears
even shrank back in fear, hahahaha too cute.”
Shao Wenjing gently grasped Yan Yi’s shoulder and released soothing
pheromones, comforting him as if nobody was there, “Don’t be scared, I’m
here.”

Yan Yi was forced to accept the imprisoner’s gentleness and did not reject
Shao Wenjing’s soothing pheromones.

When Shao Wenjing was releasing soothing pheromones, he was also

releasing oppressive pheromones to the many alphas who were harbouring
malicious intentions. The crowd of alphas restrained themselves a little, and
could only dare to watch the commotion of the little white rabbit.

The little white rabbit was really very cute, looking like a duckling who
specifically came to play with this high-grade M2 alpha.

Shao Wenjing brought him over to stand in front of a row of fixed targets.
Twenty-five metres away, there was a shooting ground and a shooting
platform. The walls were covered with all kinds of guns and different types
of ammunition.

“Do you still remember how to operate it?” Shao Wenjing put on a pair of
protective goggles and picked up a hand pistol as he pleased. He pushed in
the magazine and secured it, then aligned it towards the head of the target,
pressing the trigger.

A loud bang followed.

His finger only applied a light touch. The fixed target fell in response to the
sound before another target rose rapidly from its original position.

Yan Yi looked at that target flatly.

Shao Wenjing handed him the gun, “Wanna play for a while?”

Yan Yi stared at the gun in his hand and answered softly, “Made in China
64, it has small power, and the magazine capacity is also low, it’s just used
by ordinary police.”
Shao Wenjing bent slightly and put his hand on his head, “Then you choose
one you like, alright?”

The surrounding alphas who were watching the commotion sighed. Some
had already taken off their goggles and turned to pay attention to the joke
with a ridiculing smile.

Yan Yi stood by the wall for a while as he selected.

Following that, in the shocked sight of the onlookers, he took out a

Thunderbolt that was on display in the glass cabinet and picked up a -50
BMG heavy machine gun ammunition.

Shao Wenjing quickly blocked him and with a face full of helplessness, he
whispered warmly in his ear, “Baobei, this thing can kill dinosaurs. It’s
quite expensive to maintain my training ground. Pick another one, pick
another one.”

Yan Yi gave him a disregarding glance before tossing Thunderbolt away

casually.

The few alphas watching the commotion whistled and mocked sarcastically,
“You dare to fire Thunderbolt without installing the muzzle brake? Your
little rabbit paws will fracture.”

Yan Yi turned a deaf ear to them.

When the slender white wrists easily lifted up two empty large-caliber
revolver M500, which could weigh up to 2.5 kg, the sneers of the spectators
from all around instantly weakened.

Yan Yi opened the magazine with one hand and skillfully loaded five
magnum bullets into it, then hooked one of them that was fully-reloaded
with his ring finger, while loading the other one single-handedly.

Shao Wenjing held his elbow, afraid that his weak body couldn’t withstand
the rigorous recoil of the two M500 guns.
“Step aside a bit.” Yan Yi used the muzzle to sweep him aside, both hands
pushing up the safety on the back of the guns at the same time. The two
pistols spun twice around his fingers, and fired at the very moment the
muzzles stopped.

Four fixed targets in the front row fell one after the other before four
moving targets that sprang up instantly fell down the moment they stood up.

Finally, two lightning-speed snake forms sprung up close to the firing line
of a human-shaped target. At the very moment they got close to the safety
range, they were punctured by two sounds of the guns firing at the same
time.

Apart from pushing up the safety, Yan Yi’s hands did not shake in the
slightest. He blew the muzzles lightly and instinctively thrusted them into
his tactical belt, only to realize he wasn’t wearing one, a hint of loss
appearing in his eyes.

This series of perfect shots won the shock and applause of all the alphas
present. Shao Wenjing looked at this little rabbit’s soft side profile and the
innocent look in his cold gaze as he put down the guns, unable to move his
line of sight for a long time.

He began to understand why Lu Shangjin would fall in love with an omega

who he had such a low compatibility fit with when he was young.

He was too sexy.

——

On the last day of April, the weather was getting hotter and drier. The roads
were crowded with people, already in a state of leisure as they were
enjoying a long vacation.

Lu Shangjin hadn’t closed his eyes for more than twenty-four hours. A few
of the key personnel under his command were all immersed in digging
through all the surveillance videos in the downtown area within the past
four days.
His villa had a security system which would inevitably trigger the alarm
and the invisible power grid if there was a forced intrusion. However, the
system was intact. Only the surveillance inside the villa was all turned off
from the inside.

It meant that Yan Yi had opened the door and didn’t resist when the intruder
took him away; letting that spider take him away.

Where the hell did he go?

Why wouldn’t Yan Yi listen to his explanation?

Which alpha would be able to remain calm when his own omega was
stained by someone else? Those surveillance videos alone could drive
people crazy.

Did they do it? How many times did they do it? Did the little rabbit hold
him and call him intimate names in a delicate way?

Yan Yi must be taking revenge on him, or maybe the little rabbit had been
getting too little care, like a little child who couldn’t get attention and had to
cause a ruckus to show his presence.

A lop-eared rabbit omega’s false pregnancy should be dealt with by

pressing, otherwise the damage to the body would be more serious. He just
made the mistake of doing it himself, eager to teach Yan Yi a lesson.

Indeed, he shouldn’t have been so rough, but the little rabbit had also
misunderstood him, thinking that he was the one who made him lose the
baby.

Things shouldn’t have turned out this way.

Things he had anticipated had gone off the rails. Lu Shangjin sat on the sofa
for a very long time, pressing the bridge of his nose as he pondered deeply.

Could it be that he was really in the wrong?

The ashtray by his hand was full, the cigarette ashes spilling out.
Lu Shangjin refrained from imagining a more horrific situation. He didn’t
dare to tell himself that because Yan Yi just had a forced abortion, he didn’t
resist at all under the state of both his mental and physical trauma.

The more he dared not think about it, the more this thought lingered in his
mind. He clutched his head, which was about to explode in pain, and threw
the table of documents onto the ground.

The phone rang, ill-timed. Lu Shangjin’s gaze immediately followed. After

seeing the familiar number, his eyes sank.

Xia Pingtian leaned on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth, “Jin ge, my
contract…”

There was silence on the phone for three seconds.

Then suddenly, a roar almost broke the tone:

“I’m fucking looking for a rabbit! My rabbit!”

 Chap 45

Edited & Proofread by: Jie

Xia Pingtian moved the phone away and waited until Lu Shangjin finished
roaring before putting it close to his ear again, “…”

Right now, he had particularly lost face in front of Lu Shangjin.

His biological younger brother had made his wife’s stomach big. Although
Xia Jingtian promised him that he never did anything out of line and he
believed it, it was another matter whether others believed him or not.

Word went around that his wife was missing, but Xia Jingtian had also run
away and hadn’t been found till now. Thinking back now, he shouldn’t have
played those little games of ‘detecting and camouflage’ with Xiao Jingzi
when they were younger. That kid’s ability to draw inferences from one
instance was too fucking strong.

“I won’t sign anything if I can’t find him.”

Lu Shangjin’s voice was hoarse, with an apparent trace of weakness in his

smoky voice.

Young master Lu, who had always been widely known for being calm,
unyielding, and capable of exercising self-restraint, had never done
something so shocking before.

The two were speechless, yet couldn’t find an excuse to hang up.

Xia Pingtian immediately asked the driver to take him to Chang Hui City.
He pushed open Lu Shangjin’s office door and stepped on a document with
a transparent cover under his foot.

Then, he saw that the entire ground was full of documents flying around,
piled as thick as a carpet without anywhere to stand.

The few people in the office who were searching through the surveillance
covered in sweat were all yelled at to get out. Lu Shangjin leaned against
the sofa as he stared at the laptop with bloodshot eyes, typing away.

Xia Pingtian squatted down, picked up some documents and tossed them
aside, making a path for himself to walk on. He glanced at Lu Shangjin’s
laptop, and with a stiff expression, he immediately shut the laptop for him.

“Have you gone crazy?” Xia Pingtian raised his voice as he glared at him,
“What are you using PBB’s authority to track location for?”

Lu Shangjin’s lips were chapped. A glass of water was on the desk, but he
couldn’t be bothered to get it.

“He was taken away by Shao Wenjing. Shao Wenjing has been active
outside the borders, with little data within the country. He didn’t register
anything under his name at all. I can’t find out where he is without PBB’s
authority.”

“I don’t think you understand the situation.” From his own laptop that he
brought, Xia Pingtian opened a program icon disguised as the Minesweeper
game, inserted a card and entered a string of keys.

The encrypted files inside were grouped into categories and named by
number.

He opened the newest document. Within were a few blurry photos, and
through the shadow of the person’s back and some habitual hand gestures, it
could be identified that it was Lu Lin.

“Lu Lin has been working in the laboratory of the differentiation base and
most of PBB’s current data records have already fallen into his hands. He
replaced the commander-in-chief and had sent some PBB members as gland
hunters to search for high-grade glands everywhere. If you use PBB’s
authority, how can you be certain that he won’t follow the trail and find out
that you were the one who blew up the central computer?”

“What could he do to me?” Lu Shangjin closed his eyes for a while. Being
in a highly-intense state of concentration for a long time made him have a
splitting headache.

He had never felt a sense of loss as clearly and frankly as he did now. Even
if the little rabbit ran away from home in a huffing fit before, he was certain
and confident that he would be able to coax him back.

He might have been captured and needed Lu Shangjin to bring him back
home. The reason why he couldn’t receive Yan Yi’s texts must be because
he had been imprisoned. The little rabbit must have missed him a lot, he
just couldn’t contact him.

He was probably very scared, maybe hiding in the corner crying and
shivering, needing his alpha to give him a proper hug, and use his soothing
pheromones to make him feel safe.

There should have already been enough time for the little rabbit to reflect
these few days.

If the little rabbit threw himself into his arms and admitted his mistake now,
he would forgive him.

“You get out, let me be alone for a while.” Lu Shangjin threw his laptop
aside and fell wearily on the sofa, “Xia Jingtian; I’ll remember him.”

Like being poked on a soft spot, Xia Pingtian immediately stood up and
asked with a cold expression, “What do you mean.”

Lu Shangjin half opened his cold eyes, “What do you think.”

“I understand my younger brother very well. Firstly, he has never done

anything out of line, and secondly, he has never interfered with your
relationship. Your wife’s abortion was your own doing, is this what
someone would do?”

Xia Pingtian slammed the few documents he had picked up onto the
ground, “If I remember correctly, you and Yan Yi were together ten years
ago. How many people have come and go by your side in recent years? You
lost your wife because of yourself, what do you want to do by pushing the
blame on my Jing-zi?”

“I’ll say it up front, if you dare lay a finger on my Jing-zi, we’ll sever ties
immediately!”

Hearing the ruckus in the office, the assistant hurried in to break up the
fight, pulling Xia Pingtian to the sofa on the other side, before bringing tea
over and bowing apologetically, “President Xia, it’s been a long journey,
you can take a rest in the lounge.”

His phone rang at this inappropriate time. Looking down and seeing that it
was Xiao Jing-zi, Xia Pingtian couldn’t be bothered with managing his
anger towards Lu Shangjin and immediately answered:

“Xiao Jing-zi, you still know how to find me!”

On the other end of the call, the voice that was originally clear had become
dulled with fatigue, like he had been wearily searching for something for a
long time.

“Ge, the driver said that you went to find Lu Shangjin. If he’s beside you,
I’ll talk to him.”

Lu Shangjin was a step ahead as he took the phone from Xia Pingtian.

“Lu Shangjin, I want to apologize.”

“But not to you, I want to apologize to Yan Yi.”

“I shouldn’t have been entangled with Yan Yi,not letting go because of our
high compatibility. I shouldn’t have asked others for his number and
address, and I shouldn’t have been so self-sentimental to send him flowers.”
Xia Jingtian suddenly raised his voice, his guilt and anger erupting at the
same time:

“The last thing I should have done was touch his back when he was
suffering the most!”

His voice was haggard and slightly hoarse, even his roar wasn’t really
menacing.

However, Lu Shangjin seemed like he was falling into an ice cave, the pores
on his body felt as though the cold air was penetrating into him. He fumbled
to adjust the temperature control panel on the wall to the maximum
temperature for heating.

“How would I know that he would have a false pregnancy if I touched him
a little? I didn’t know that, did you?” Xia Jingtian’s voice carried a hint of a
choked sob that wasn’t easy to detect, “The glandular dormancy injection
made him suffer so much. I gave him soothing pheromones to comfort him,
and he clearly fell asleep, but he whispered ‘Jin ge’ gratefully. Who is Jin
ge? Is it you, a scumbag who has never cared about him?”

“He felt so unwell that he threw up so many times in a day. What kind of
strawberries did you feed him? Why don’t you fill him with a bucket of ice
water and torture him to death?”

“You obviously know that he’ll eat whatever you give him. Why don’t you
be a little more patient and think about what he can or cannot eat?”

“You obviously know that A3 omegas have the instincts to depend on the
person who marks them. Since you don’t want to be responsible, why did
you want to mark him…”

Lu Shangjin hung up the phone. He stood still, then slumped into the sofa.

He couldn’t think about anything anymore.

He just wanted the little rabbit to hurry back to his side.

He could explain that this was really a misunderstanding.

Xia Pingtian pushed his assistant to one side and sneered at Lu Shangjin, “If
I were you, I would use location tracking to sweep through the entire
country. Aren’t you deeply in love? Use it, then.”

A peregrine falcon alpha’s M2 ability required the connection of

pheromones and the general direction to be convenient for use. In the event
that the scope could not be delineated, the wider the scanning area was, the
more damage would be caused by overdrawing glandular energy.

A peregrine falcon alpha’s M2 ability was mostly used for sniping and
fixed-point location tracking. Which fool would exhaust their glandular
energy for large-scale scanning?

Lu Shangjin’s dim eyes suddenly lit up with a trace of light.

Immediately after, pheromones exploded through the whole office. A

highly-concentrated scent of narcissus overflowed alongside Lu Shangjin’s
activated M2 ability.

Shao Wenjing was negligent in his most careful consideration. Even though
all the security system in the villa was turned off, he still left a strand of
cobweb on the doorknob. Lu Shangjin followed the wisps of poppy
pheromone in search of Shao Wenjing’s presence from province to
province, as well as expanding his search area to include similar
pheromones in his range of suspects.

He had seen Shao Wenjing at Zhong Ling street in Nan Qi before. He had
searched it long ago, but to no avail.

“Fuck.” Xia Pingtian didn’t expect that he would really be desperate enough
to consume his glandular energy. Blood drained from Lu Shangjin’s face
like a falling tide.

Xia Pingtian hurriedly took his phone back and called the hospital to send
an ambulance immediately. There was a desperate man here dying.

When the energy stored in his glands was exhausted, Lu Shangjin knelt
down, cold sweat covering his cheeks, dripping down to the solid wood
floor in front of him.

Shao Wenjing had probably used some means of shielding his pheromones.
In his mind, Lu Shangjin had scanned through 20 provinces and cities, but
couldn’t find a trace of Shao Wenjing.

At the moment he was losing consciousness from overdrawing his

glandular energy, he found pheromones similar to-

-A toddler spider omega, whose pheromones were of the devil’s snare plant.

——

The latest pheromone shield from Germany was installed in Shao Wenjing’s
manor, specifically prepared to deal with Lu Shangjin. After all, he had
forcibly taken away his lover long ago, it was well-chosen.

After playing billiards with some bodyguards for a while, he came back and
asked for Yan Yi. The servant said he was in the underground gym.

The ventilation system in the underground gym was made very fitting
without any feeling of suffocation, the scent was fresh and clean.

The gym was divided into several areas. Shao Wenjing saw Yan Yi at the
equipment practice area wearing a sports tank top, concentrating on doing
lat pull-downs behind his neck which weighed 200kg.

Because the maximum weight of the equipment used for alphas was only
200kg.

Although the little rabbit had become thin, one could imagine his figure
during his flourishing days just by looking at the training marks on his
body. The reason for the limitations of an omega’s body physique was that
their muscles were not exaggerated. They were soft and rich with a sense of
alluring beauty. Each time his two arms pulled down, it would drive the
contour of his back to form attractive angles. Occasionally, a drop of sweat
would trickle down his back into his narrow waist.
His buttocks were round and perky, his little tail moved up and down as his
muscles tensed and relaxed.

After finishing the last set of exercises, Yan Yi loosened his hold and the
200kg weight crashed back down onto its original place on the rubber pad
with a dull sound.

Shao Wenjing took a bottle of fresh milk and tossed it to him.

Yan Yi took it and held it in his hand as he rested for a while.

“Tired?” Shao Wenjing sat on the equipment beside him and wiped off the
small beads of sweat on the tip of Yan Yi’s nose.

The sweat of omegas had no peculiar odours. Carrying the sweet fragrance
of milk candy, the little rabbit was like a melting little milk candy, waiting
to be wrapped in glutinous rice paper for people to enjoy.

Yan Yi unscrewed the fresh milk and drank half the bottle:

“A little tired.”

Shao Wenjing smiled in a bantering manner, “Wanna go take a bath

together?”

“When will you let me go?” Yan Yi asked flatly, ignoring Shao Wenjing’s
teasing.

Shao Wenjing opened his hand, “This can’t be done. I can meet all the other
conditions, for example, replacing the weight of the equipment here with
250kg.”

Yanyi was silent for a moment.

“300.”

He then went to take a shower.

When he came out of the shower room, Shao Wenjing was still sitting on
the sofa in the leisure area reading a fitness magazine from the book rack.

Seeing Yan Yi come out, he pulled him away and said warmly in his ear,
“Iberian smoked ham has been prepared for lunch.”

Yan Yi was too lazy to even lift his eyelids, “Why didn’t you prepare roast
rabbit?”

Shao Wenjing was taken aback, then laughed with knitted brows,
“Apologies, I’m inconsiderate. I’ll ask them to change to a vegetarian diet.”

Yan Yi gave him a puzzled look. This spider’s temper seemed to be so good
that he had no bottom line, but the danger of reaching the bottom line was
always present, which was very incomprehensible.

Holding the iron railing with carved patterns that led to the first floor from
the underground floor, they walked up the spiral staircase. Shao Wenjing
turned and extended his hand towards Yan Yi in a gentlemanly manner.

Yan Yi paused in his steps, thinking that he was blocking the way.

“You can’t be like this.” Shao Wenjing turned around. He stood on the steps
with knees bent and leaned down, placing his fingertips on Yan Yi’s lips,
“Relax a little. People should learn to enjoy life, enjoy getting along with an
alpha of high compatibility fit.”

The paralyzing toxin from the fingertips seeped inside along his slightly
opened mouth.

Yan Yi hesitated for a moment, then placed his hand in Shao Wenjing’s
palm.

The alarm of the manor rang urgently. Shao Wenjing raised his eyelids, and
the exceedingly flirtatious expression in his peach blossom eyes instantly
faded into a cold and sinister look.

“Go wait for me in the dining room, okay?” Shao Wenjing grasped Yan Yi’s
fingers, “I’ll go out to take a look, I’ll be back soon.”
The training field area turned red on the surveillance screen, signalling that
someone was seeking to cause trouble.

Shao Wenjing sent a few bodyguards over. The training ground had its own
security staff, so normally, the alarm would not have been triggered.

There was only a large white snowflake on the surveillance monitor outside
the training ground. It seemed that the camera inside had been damaged.

The few bodyguards with guns snuck into the training ground, as Shao
Wenjing then dodged and followed inside.

The training ground was filled with the smell of blood, and the bodies of
security fell in disorder at every corner.

Breaking into the training ground were seven or eight gland hunters, with
an M2 piranha alpha standing at the forefront.

It seemed that Lu Shangjin hadn’t found the door yet.

Shao Wenjing relaxed a little. With the hawk blindfolded, it may be more
difficult to catch the little rabbit.

Seeing Shao Wenjing indolently leaning against the iron railings, the
piranha laughed, revealing a row of triangular sharp teeth, “Are you the
boss here? I heard there’s an omega of M2 grade here?”

Yan Yi’s glands had been restored to M2 level. When he was playing with
guns before, perhaps someone with ulterior motives had secretly detected
the grade of pheromones in the air and reported it to the gland hunters.

It was necessary to pass the security check when entering the training
ground. So some jobless staff who were used to getting paid for reporting
higher-grade glands to get paid had probably smuggled in pheromone
detectors.

Shao Wenjing answered gently, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.
He may have come before, but probably already left.”
The piranha’s thick and coarse eyebrows twisted together, “Boss, don’t play
with me.”

In terms of attack power, the single-combat strength of piranha alphas of

similar grade was very strong. It was difficult to contend head-on with
spiders, which was a species good at manipulation and confusion.

The piranha race’s J1 differentiative ability “Bone Cutting” wasn’t

considered powerful, however, most alphas would shrink back at their M2
differentiative ability “bloodthirst”. Their J1 ability could be enhanced by
1% for every 1% higher concentration of blood smell in the environment.

His collar was open, revealing a blue cyan serial number branding on his
neck: PBB000036.

When the security system of the training ground was triggered, every
ammunition box was automatically locked and retrieved to avoid causing
secondary injuries.

Shao Wenjing couldn’t let them take away the A3 lop-eared rabbit that he
had only been able to get after racking his brains.

Suddenly, footsteps came from behind, and a figure forcefully bounced off
of the iron railing by his hand.

Yan Yi’s hands were wrapped in bandages, each holding a Tachi sword that
he had just picked from the vertical wall as he lightly leaped off the high
platform without any expression.

A halo of gold edges traced out the leaping figure under the lighting, the
blade reflecting a blindingly cold light.

Shao Wenjing’s eyes locked on Yan Yi as the blade from high in the air
slashed down and stabbed into the piranha’s shoulder without any
hesitation. Blood spurted out onto Yan Yi’s pale cheeks.

He wasn’t afraid of the increase in the piranha’s J1 ability from the smell of
blood at all. A powerful frontal attack, a deadly move.
Like a red-dyed poppy, a cluster of violent and enchanting flowers bloomed
in Shao Wenjing’s heart.
 Chap 46

Translated by: mi, fel

The training ground was filled with blood as broken limbs and debris
scattered all over.

The piranha alpha fell at his feet. Yan Yi made a cut on the glands of the
corpse. After the glands were completely damaged, he waved his hand to
shake off the sticky blood on the blade.

Yan Yi drooped his eyelids and lifted the piranha alpha’s chin with the tip of
his blade, exposing his neck to take a look at the brand on it.

“PBB000036.” He read silently before glancing back at the seven or eight

silent J1 alphas surrounding him. Feeling that the degree of threat to himself
was zero, he acted as if no one was present and kept the blade away.

Several J1 alphas turned around and ran, but the entrance was sealed by a
thick and sticky spider web, tightly blocking any gaps.

The armed bodyguards swarmed forward and firmly pressed the group of
escaping rats onto the ground as they lingered on with their last breaths,
taking them away one by one.

Shao Wenjing slid down from the high platform along a strand of sturdy
spider silk and landed in front of Yan Yi.

At this moment, the surging current in his chest had yet to calm down.

He reached out a hand, wanting to tuck a wisp of stray hair from in front of
his forehead behind his ear for him.
Shining with cold light, the Tachi blade suddenly lifted and pointed at Shao
Wenjing’s throat. Yan Yi pointed the blade at him expressionlessly, not
allowing him to get any closer.

A wisp of opium poppy floated in the air, wrapped in enthusiastic courtship

pheromones.

Shao Wenjing’s hand stilled in mid-air as he just came back to his senses.
However, the alpha’s instinct that urged his courtship pheromones to spill
from his glands had already emitted into the air. He tried his best to control
and restrain himself, but Yan Yi should have already been aware of it.

The alpha’s innate desire to conquer abruptly rose from the depths of his
heart. Shao Wenjing was also inevitably captivated by the high-grade
omega.

Yan Yi asked softly, “When can I go out?”

Shao Wenjing restored his usual elegant appearance and knocked the back
of the blade with his fingers, raising the corners of his lips, “What do you
want to do outside?”

Yan Yi was stunned for a moment.

He tried to recall, but the memories in his mind became a little muddled. He
still remembered the dinner last night, but he couldn’t remember some
things clearly.

“Let’s go, the smell of blood here is too pungent, it’ll give you a headache if
you stay long.” Shao Wenjing leaned to the side to avoid the blade and went
close to the little white rabbit standing opposite him lost in thought. He then
gently held his neck, fingers vaguely sweeping across the skin of his glands,
and a strand of undetectable toxin travelled along his glandular nerve and
entered his brain.

“…” Yan Yi slipped the blade back into its sheath before conveniently
tossing the snake-skin Tachi sword to Shao Wenjing, “It’s not bad.”
“Do you like it?” Shao Wenjing walked out of the training ground with him
in his arms, “I’ve also collected a few famous battle swords. I’ll take you to
have a look at the armoury during the day tomorrow.”

Yan Yi had a confused look in his eyes, but he couldn’t tell what was
unusual.

“Who are you…” He murmured.

“My surname is Shao, you’ve been calling me Wenjing.”

Shao Wenjing held Yan Yi’s waist and lifted him up onto the iron railing as
though they were the most natural couple. He raised his head intimately as
gentleness brimmed in his peach blossom eyes:

“Your servant1.”

Yan Yi’s empty eyes were unable to focus on the face in front of him. An
unfamiliar and indifferent face overlapped with Shao Wenjing’s, as the cold
and heroic facial features gradually blurred, turning into a softly-edged
alpha face, profoundly beautiful.

He placed his hand on Shao Wenjing’s cheek, his face becoming more
familiar the longer he looked. The stern face engraved in his mind for years
seemed to have been effaced by an eraser, erasing the shadows and wiping
out the lines. The more he tried to remember, the faster it was erased.

Yan Yi braced his head as he curled up and let out a scream, grabbing the
last withering petal in the endless darkness and turning it into ashes that
quickly parted away from his palm.

“It’s okay, I’m here.” Shao Wenjing lifted the little rabbit off the railing.

Yan Yi suddenly hugged him tightly. Trembling in his arms, he buried his
face in his neck, his rapid breathing brushing against Shao Wenjing’s skin.

Shao Wenjing stroked his arm, finding it covered in goosebumps. The heart
in his chest was fluttering like a soft feather.
The charm of the A3 omega was something he could not resist.

Fighting in the bloodbath of the heated battle, with his slender waist and
ruthless expression in his eyes, it was as astonishing as if the starlight shone
through his irises.

And when he threw himself into his arms and weakly hugged the alpha’s
neck, his rapid heartbeat showed his fear and grievances, yet it had the
ability to conquer a hard and vicious heart to turn into soft spring water.

To have such an omega was a pretty good thing.

Shao Wenjing carried the tired little rabbit back to his residence and paced a
whole round in his bedroom, a little concerned that the cage he had placed
before seemed too cold and narrow.

Yan Yi silently glanced at the cold iron cage that he was lying in before and
wrapped his arms tighter around Shao Wenjing, “I’m not sleeping here.”

The faint burn was still there at the base of his finger. This prison with the
electric locks still gave him lingering fears.

“Okay, don’t sleep here.” Shao Wenjing agreed softly.

He asked the servant to take him to wash off the blood from his body,
change into refreshing pyjamas, and sent into his own bedroom.

Yan Yi stepped on the soft and shaggy carpet barefoot, a drop of water
falling from his hair and gliding down his neck, bringing out a hint of sweet
milk-candy scent.

Shao Wenjing had his head leaned against the headboard to read, but when
he looked up he saw Yan Yi squeezing the water from his hair with a towel
as he sat next to his bed. His wet little tail peeked out from his pyjama
bottoms, soaking the sheets a little.

“Should I sleep here.”

Yan Yi stared at his toes and thought in confusion.

His pale feet had become rosy due to the hot bath water, leaving two small
paw prints on the shaggy carpet.

A pair of arms suddenly wrapped around his waist. Shao Wenjing pressed
up against him and kissed his ear, “Why aren’t you coming up?”

Yan Yi asked with uncertainty, “Have I always slept here before.”

“Of course.” Shao Wenjing carried the little rabbit into his lap, lightly
clasping Yan Yi’s hands in his.

Yan Yi noticed a platinum ring on the ring finger of his left hand. Surprised,
he looked at his own right hand, finding that he wore a ring of the same
style.

“We’ve been married for a long time.” Shao Wenjing sighed in his ear,
“You never liked me.”

The little rabbit’s ears stood up in alert. Shao Wenjing put his chin on top of
his head, and the little rabbit’s ears patted his cheeks before falling back
down, very soft and hot.

Yan Yi thought for a while. It seemed like such a thing that happened.

In his memory, he did get married before, but he was also a rambunctious
rabbit.

He was often spending one-night stands with other alphas, occationally

bringing the alphas he provided for2 to his home to have sex with.

Shao Wenjing buried his face into Yan Yi’s shoulder and muttered in a low
voice, “Is there something bad about me? Why don’t you like me?”

Yan Yi turned his head in confusion, seeing this alpha’s peach blossom eyes
filled with a layer of tears swirling in his eyes. His mesmerising eyes
blinked and tears dripped onto his shoulders, making him tremble.

“…There’s nothing bad about you…” A little dull, Yan Yi turned around
and touched Shao Wenjing’s eyes, “I’m sorry…”
He actually did such bad things.

Shao Wenjing took Yan Yi into his arms, letting him feel the beating of his
heart.

Where Yan Yi could not see, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl
up proudly. The little rabbit’s expression was too marvellous, the apologetic
look in his eyes was like a young man repenting his sins of the past.

The paralyzing toxin that had built up in his brain reached a threshold, and
under his influence, it caused a pleasant memory mishap.

He pressed over and pounced onto Yan Yi before kissing his glands from
behind.

Yan Yi didn’t resist as he let Shao Wenjing’s courtship pheromones connect

with his own, the high degree of fit making Yan Yi feel comfortable and
relaxed.

“I like you.” Shao Wenjing said, leaning into his ear from behind, “Let’s
live a good life in the future, okay?”

Yan Yi turned his head, revealing a hint of a smile without malice,

“Okay…”

Shao Wenjing paused.

In that moment, a sudden thought went into his mind, wanting to hog the
brightness in front of him.

He lowered his head, and his sharp canine teeth were instantly etched into
the glands on the back of Yan Yi’s neck.

Yan Yi gave a muffled grunt.

The alpha’s powerful pheromones thundered as it rushed into his body,

rampaging through his veins.
Shao Wenjing released more intense courtship pheromones. The
pheromones with a 87% fit were simply irresistible to an omega on the
verge of a mental breakdown.

Yan Yi clutched the bed sheets tightly with his fingers and arched his body
as he trembled wildly. A wisp of poppy fragrance injected into his glands,
while a large amount of milk-candy scented pheromones spread to every
corner of the room.

Like an addictive opium, it’s frightening but impossible to resist.

Shao Wenjing bit the back of his neck, his soft, smiling eyes were bloodshot
and red. He grabbed Yan Yi’s legs and spread them apart.

Yan Yi felt pain, but it was immediately washed away by the soothing
highly compatible pheromones, replaced by the ultimate joy that
overflowed in him. The grief of loving but not receiving it, and the despair
of losing a child, all clogged his heart, almost driving him crazy.

He wept silently, the spark fading from his eyes.

Forget it all, then.

All the chaotic memories he did not dare to even think about should be
forgotten.

“Does it hurt?” Shao Wenjing unfastened his belt with one hand, trying to
be as gentle as possible so as to not cause unnecessary pain to the little
rabbit.

Just seeing Yan Yi’s lost eyes, he was still worried for a moment that he
would break the little rabbit under him and shatter him.

He had not yet penetrated into Yan Yi’s body, when a child’s hysterical cry
suddenly erupted from outside the hidden bedroom door.

Startled, Shao Wenjing patted Yan Yi’s back lightly, “Give me a minute.”
He hurried out of the bedroom and saw Shao Wenchi sitting outside the
bedroom door, out of breath from crying.

Shao Wenchi hurriedly leaned over and picked up his little brother, “Why
are you here, don’t cry, what’s the matter?”

Shao Wenchi cried to the point it gave him hiccups, tears covering his
tender face, “Don’t bully the bunny who saved Wenchi.”

Shao Wenjing was stunned for a moment.

“The car came over, and bunny took Wenchi away. Stinky spidey, don’t
bully him…” Shao Wenchi cried so hard he couldn’t breathe. He held a
pack of tissues tightly in his hand in front of him, the tissue packaging
giving off a faint scent of milk-candy.

The light smile that Shao Wenjing always carried with his calm apperance
stiffened on his face.

——

On weekends, extremely congested traffic went on for hundreds of metres,

slowly winding and wriggling along.

The pungent smell of gasoline and exhaust made people restless and
irritable, like a transpiring virus emitting in the gaps of congested vehicles.
Occasionally, fierce horns would be replaced by a series of swearing from
the drivers ahead.

A Bentley Continental went the wrong way in the emergency lane with
multiple police cars chasing behind him.

Lu Shangjin wearily tore off the medical tape on the back of his hand,
revealing a bloody gash which he accidentally scraped when he ripped off
the infusion needle.

He glanced in the rearview mirror. Seeing the police cars in the chase, he
quickly got off the ramp.
Right then, he suddenly had a flashback in an untimely manner.

When he was young, he often car-raced with Yan Yi in Yungas.

On the edge of a steep cliff, the pair was smoking with their backs against
the car door.

Yan Yi sat on the hood, nesting his helmet between his legs as his little
rabbit ears briskly twitched. He turned his head and asked with a smile, “Jin
ge, why can’t I catch up to you, what are the techniques, teach me.”

Lu Shangjin let out a breath of smoke and raised his eyebrows proudly,
“Catch up, and I’ll teach you.”

No more.

Lu Shangjin smashed the steering wheel hard.

He didn’t need the little rabbit to keep chasing him.

As long as he comes back, Yan Yi doesn’t need to do anything. Lu Shangjin

just needs him to come back soon.

All three genders have the potential to evolve third-grade upgrades under
pheromone stimulation, but betas are not sensitive to pheromones, so the
probability of their third-grade upgrade is very small.

——

Question: Why are alphas of the same grade stronger?

Only the glandular cells of alphas have the differentiative ability of dividing
into beasts and birds of prey, or aggressive reptiles and plants. The number
of alphas is relatively more, have stronger combat power, with taller and
larger figures, and the pillar gender of various industries.

——

Question: Weakness

Whether alpha or omega, they all have a lethal area, the glands at the back
of the neck. Once damaged, they will lose the ability to move on the spot.
Omegas are more vulnerable in comparison, so damage to their glands may
lead to severe depression, blindness, memory loss, paralysis etc, and other
complications. They have slower healing, and their treatment process
requires a large amount of matched alpha pheromones to aid in calming
them.
 Chap 48

By: Fel, Jie

The bedroom door was gently opened. Wrapped up tight in his pyjamas,
Yan Yi stood at the door on the carpet and looked at the two of them in
shock.

The little spider omega held in his cry and sobbed as he looked back at Yan
Yi.

He stared blankly for a few seconds, then weakly stretched out his small
hand towards Yan Yi.

Yan Yi widened his eyes before hesitantly reaching out to hold the child
from Shao Wenjing’s arms.

“Bunny.” Shao Wenchi hugged Yan Yi’s neck, his tender little face rubbing
against the crevasse of Yan Yi’s neck.

Yan Yi’s dull eyes brightened gently. He patted the little baby in his arms as
he slowly released soft soothing pheromones and gently coaxed, “Don’t
cry.”

“Mm,” Shao Wenchi obediently pursed his lips, pouting his soft white face,
and in a small voice, he explained to Yan Yi, “He’s not a bad gege, he
doesn’t usually bully people, don’t be afraid of him.”

Shao Wenjing furrowed his brows and gave a slight smile. Holding his arm
in a gentlemanly manner, he leaned against the door frame, “Oh, of course.
You should remember, I’m a great guy.”
Young master Wenchi suddenly ran over. The chef had made a few more
dishes. Shao Wenjing instructed his bodyguards to remove all pheromone
traces left by Shao Wenchi outside the manor when he came so as to not
give Lu Shangjin a chance to take advantage of it.

Everything was well arranged. Shao Wenjing turned around in time to see
Yan Yi sitting with Wenchi at the dining table. Wenchi was obediently
holding a small ceramic spoon to eat while Yan Yi peeled a shrimp,
breaking it into two small pieces before placing it in his small bowl.

Wenchi blinked his big eyes and said thank you in a crisp voice.

His face, as white as milk-jelly, had a drop of ketchup on it. His pair of dark
sparkling eyes set on his little palm-sized face. He and his brother were the
same, their eyes both shone with a metallic luster, like a very cute little
spider, cluelessly looking at things that intrigued him.

Yan Yi was stunned for a moment. He pursed his lips and smiled, scooping
up a spoonful of corn kernels onto his empty plate, and added two pieces of
vegetables.

Wenchi looked at the vegetables in distress. Feeling embarrassed, he said in

a small voice, “This doesn’t taste good.”

Yan Yi held his cheek in one hand and looked at him gently, “It’s good for
your body, you won’t get red pimples on your face when you get older. Just
eat a little.”

“Hmm.” Wenchi hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth.

“Good boy.” Yan Yi picked up the vegetable leaves and fed them into
Wenchi’s mouth, the tip of his chopsticks scraped the vegetable soup from
the corner of his mouth.

Having been praised, Wenchi puffed out his cheeks and his big eyes curved
into an arc.
“You spoil him once, and he will need you to feed him everyday in the
future.” Shao Wenjing’s shadowy figure appeared leisurely from behind, his
hands propping up on the back of Wenchi’s chair. He lowered his head and
scolded, “Shao Wenchi, eat by yourself.”

“Hmph, stinky spidey.” Shao Wenchi picked up a shrimp and clumsily

peeled at it with his little fingers. Not a moment later, he got ketchup all
over the child’s sleeves as he ate with great relish.

Shao Wenjing leaned down and touched Yan Yi’s hair and ears. He sat
across the table, and using only the tips of his chopsticks in his right hand,
he skillfully peeled two shrimps, one for Wenchi and the other he placed in
Yan Yi’s bowl.

“I don’t know what kind of vegetable dishes you like, so I just let them
make a few, there’s also fish and shrimp, they can help replenish your
body.” Shao Wenjing peeled a few more shrimps and placed them on the
side of the plate. Surprisingly, his hands didn’t become dirty at all, like the
fine motor control of a spider. It was indeed amazing.

Yan Yi looked at Shao Wenjing’s slender right hand and fell in a daze.

At times, his memories were blurry yet sometimes clear. He remembered

being with his alpha out for dinner once. In his impression, his alpha’s hand
was not this smooth, the back of his hands were covered in scars from the
scraping of shrapnel shells.

His alpha also wasn’t as dexterous. When he peeled shrimp shells, he would
often make little cuts on his fingers before placing the finely peeled shrimp
into Yan Yi’s bowl.

But who was the alpha he had this impression of?

Was it Shao Wenjing?

It seemed like it wasn’t. Maybe it was a previous alpha whom he had

provided for, he couldn’t remember.
In an effortful moment of clarity, Yan Yi felt guilty that his mind should not
be thinking about another alpha when he had a family.

Shao Wenjing peeled the last shrimp and placed it in Yan Yi’s bowl.

Wenchi’s round eyes stared in amazement. His brother had clearly always
saved the last best bits for himself.

But when he gave it some thought, bunny should eat more because he
looked so sad.

Yan Yi only ate a little and was full. He washed his hands and went straight
back to the bedroom.

He laid curled up on his side with his eyes opened in a daze.

Then he suddenly touched his belly.

There should have been a little baby here.

Where did it go?

He closed his eyes in confusion. Muddled images stirred up in his mind into
a chaotic mess, multicoloured splashes slowly blending into black.

A comfortably warm meatball was placed into his arms. Yan Yi opened his
eyes sluggishly, finding Shao Wenjing was holding a sleeping Wenchi and
had stuffed him into his arms.

The little spider just finished taking a bath. His small hands and face were
hot, his eyelashes drooped down cutely. Smelling Yan Yi’s pheromones, he
smacked his mouth and squeezed over, curling up in a ball as he nestled into
Yan Yi’s arms.

Shao Wenjing sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking Wenchi’s soft fine
hair and said softly, “My parents were killed by gland hunters. Wenchi was
only one and a half years old at the time, and ever since he could talk, he
has always asked when my dads will come back.”
“I have no way of explaining it to him, I can only say that our dads became
stars and that they are watching him from the sky. Isn’t it so unoriginal?”
Shao Wenjing smiled, warm and gentle, he was calm like he was telling
someone else’s story.

“He is the most important relative to me.” Shao Wenjing curled his index
finger and brushed it against Wenchi’s little jelly-like face, “You saved him,
I’m sorry, I really didn’t know that before.”

Yan Yi shook his head, he actually didn’t remember anymore.

He took Wenchi in his arms, releasing a soft pheromone that let the soft and
fragile little omega feel safe and sound.

The little white face buried in his chest was beautiful, like a porcelain doll.
Omegas really did look very fragile.

Yan Yi timidly lifted his fingers and gently caressed his soft little back.

It was unbelievably beautiful.

If he had a child, it would definitely be the same kind of cute and beautiful
little bunny baby. So he must protect the fragile little o, he can’t let anyone
hurt him.

Feeling tired, Yan Yi fell asleep, still hugging Wenchi to his chest.

Shao Wenjing pulled a thin quilt over them. He leaned over to carefully
study the little white rabbit’s sleeping face, which was peaceful and
carefully curled up into a ball, the little spider protected in the embrace of
his arms around him.

The little rabbit looked calmly attractive. The age written on the document
was 27 years old, but he actually still looked like a teenager.

He placed his hand on Yan Yi’s forehead and kissed the back of his hand.

“…I’m sorry.”
He closed the bedroom door softly, then took a suit and tie of a dark purple
colour. There were a few close friends from out of the country who had just
come back from abroad, Shao Wenjing met with them at an independent
restaurant within the manor.

The drive over needed 20 minutes, so he gave Wenchi’s school principal a

call and asked about Wenchi’s near-miss car accident in an unpleasant tone.

One of his friends brought a pastry chef with him, who made 12 snacks for
afternoon tea. Shao Wenjing didn’t actually have a sweet tooth, but he
fancied a honey mango layered cake and went into the kitchen to humor the
chef for a while before ordering two freshly made ones to-go.

The pastry chef smiled while cutting the mango, “Sir, you must have
children at home, all children love eating this dessert.”

Shao Wenjing leaned against the door, hands tucked in his pant pockets as
his peach blossom eyes bent into a line:

“Yes. I have two.”

He got home and from afar, he saw Yan Yi holding Wenchi in his arms
while sitting under the maple tree in the courtyard. Wenchi’s school bag
hung upside down on the chair, and he was holding an English homework
booklet in distress as he listened to Yan Yi speak.

Yan Yi took an automatic pencil and wrote down a few lines of notes,
teaching Wenchi some grammar, line by line, well-organised and easy to
understand.

Wenchi listened for a moment, but then dozed off in Yan Yi’s arms.

A small head bumped against his forehead. Shao Wenjing sat next to him,
shaking Wenchi awake, “You little stinky, you weren’t paying attention at
all. Do you sleep all day in school?”

Wenchi covered his head and shot Shao Wenjing a hard glare before
sticking back to Yan Yi. He looked back at Shao Wenjing to show off,
“Bunny taught me how to say I love you in eight languages.”

Shao Wenjing listened and looked at Yan Yi who was holding Wenchi, a
subtle smile in his eyes.

Having not realized that the little rabbit was more than just a killing
machine, Shao Wenjing began to look at him from a fresh angle.

He brought out two thin, round kraft paper boxes. Wenchi’s eyes lit up and
he immediately carried away a box, sitting on the bench as he compliantly
untied the ribbon, “What’s the gift today.”

Yan Yi blankly received the dessert box. He untied the ribbon and the fresh
aroma of mango and honey entered his nose.

He got a gift, and he was now at a loss.

Shao Wenjing rested his hand on the back of the bench, the corners of his
eyes slightly raised, “Can I hear the I love you’s in the eight languages?”

Yan Yi opened his mouth, but hung his head again.

He wasn’t able to speak so openly to others.

“I love you”, “I like you”, he couldn’t say such deeply emotional words.

Wenchi held the small spoon in his mouth as his round eyes looked between
Yan Yi and his brother. He felt that it was awkward for his brother, so with a
big mouthful of honey mango in his mouth, he said loudly:

“ILOVEU!”

This made Shao Wenjing pick him up and kiss him on the cheek, “I love
you, honey.”

Yan Yi looked down as he ate the dessert in small bites.

This type of life was also very comfortable and safe, the peace that he
yearned for. However, he felt a sense of loss, like something had been
blown away by the wind, lost, not even leaving a memory behind.

——————————————————————

During the May Day holiday, the school was extra quiet. The wisteria under
the corridor seemed like a sea of upside down flowers, and a light fragrance
of grass was present in the warm air. Looking into the empty classroom
through the glass, chairs were placed properly upside-down on the desks.

Only a few were on duty in the offices, and the sound of stern scolding
echoed out from the principal’s office.

Shao Wenchi’s homeroom teacher, Ms. Jiang, was suspended because she
withheld information about Wenchi’s near-miss car accident.

Jiang Xiaohong was severely scolded by the principal, and even had to hold
a grade level meeting to rectify the teacher’s negligence problem
afterwards.

Shao Wenjing only requested the principal to take the matter seriously, but
in the principal’s eagerness to suck up to him, he misunderstood and
directly suspended Ms. Jiang.

She absent-mindedly walked out the school gates in her high-heeled shoes,
her mind still buzzing chaotically from the headmaster’s fierce scolding.

She was extremely regretful for not reporting this matter to Shao Wenjing,
which had caused him to be angry.

She had only been afraid of losing her job at the time.

Ever since she had been slapped by her unemployed and alcoholic husband
two years ago, she moved out with her children at once and demanded an
immediate divorce.

In the last two years, it was only her that had been taking care of her
children, not only did her salary alone have to pay for the mortgage, but it
also had to support her parents as well as her children.
Her husband died and never agreed to divorce her. Her parents also tried to
convince her to settle down. At her age, how can you live as a divorcee, and
endure a moment of peace and quiet.

And that’s how she had been spending her days. She’s highly-educated,
experienced, and served as a head teacher at the noble elementary school in
Nan Qi. It was tiring but she received a high salary, and it provided really
good treatment.

Because she had offended Shao Wenjing, she lost this job, and her future in
this industry was gone forever.

Her heel got stuck in the stone cracks. Jiang Xiaohong stumbled and twisted
her foot. It hurt so much she had to curl up and lay on the ground for a
while.

She managed to get up, limped to the curb and sat down. Setting her heels
aside, she clutched her arms and buried her head and cried.

At the end of the day, Shao Wenchi was completely unharmed. Why did
Shao Wenjing take out his anger on her? Can one who is high-ranking and
an immortal who doesn’t eat human food really understand how exhausting
her life is?

How could he, because of his little brother, cut off a normal family’s means
of survival?

On what basis?

Why were there so many happy couples in the world, and yet her own
marriage was such a crushing failure?

She sat on the curb and cried angrily, the grievances she had to endure
throughout the years suddenly spilled out of her. She didn’t notice the
Bentley parked 10 meters away.

Lu Shangjin leaned on his steering wheel and watched her quietly.

He had just come from the hospital where Yan Yi had his last physical
exam. Maybe it was because the hospital felt guilty, but the inspection
report was not signed off by the doctor.

But through the residual pheromones, he would be able to find the doctor
who wrote the test report.

He wanted to know exactly how much hatred this doctor had in him for him
to deceive a little rabbit who had only wanted a child.

Dr. Sun was blocked by Lu Shangjin in the bathroom, the door was locked.

Lu Shangjin had pressed his head fiercely into the sink filled with cold
water, and in a deep whisper, forced a confession out of him.

The cold, deep voice made it feel like an interrogation from the king of hell.

Dr. Sun was tossed around within an inch of his life before uttering the
name “President Shao”.

Lu Shangjin suddenly understood.

Shao Wenjing had been secretly sowing discord, his methods were so
cunning that he could unknowingly make the gap between them grow
bigger and bigger until they went their separate ways.

Shao Wenjing had his eye on Yan Yi’s A3 glands.

Yet, he himself failed to protect Yan Yi.

Lu Shangjin grasped the steering wheel, his eyes burned red almost like
they were about to drip blood. He couldn’t fall asleep for a minute. Every
time he closed his eyes, he would hear Yan Yi’s trembling plea for help and
see his helpless face. He remembered that day when he pressed the little
rabbit to the ground, making his pain worse than death.

Was his little bunny doing alright?

Lu Shangjin pressed his hand against his heart as it ached in threads one
after another.

He needed to save the little rabbit and bring him home, to love him well, to
take care of him seriously, no longer letting him do anything with fear and
trepidation, no longer letting him love himself with so much pain.

He wanted to say to the little rabbit “I’m sorry”, it was his fault, it was all
his fault. He will reflect on his rudeness and recklessness, he will reflect on
his own coldness and indifferences these past few years.

What kind of person would be hurt by him though?

His irritability and indifference didn’t matter to irrelevant people. Only

those close to him will worry about him, only they will be stung by the
vicious words he blurts out, only those who embrace him without
reservation will be pierced by the spikes on his skin, and only those who
love him to the bone will give up everything they once had for him.

He was a complete let down, he betrayed a heart that had once burned with
pure love.

The female teacher sitting on the curb had already been crying for 10
minutes. It was making Lu Shangjin even more distracted and restless.

After zoning out for a bit, if it wasn’t for his fear of it making it on the
news, he also wanted to just sit on a curb and cry for a while.

Lu Shangjin followed a trace of devil’s snare pheromones and found a

spider omega similar to Shao Wenjing, it was roughly ranged within the
elementary school, but as it was just on time for the holiday, none of the
students were in.

When the female teacher came out from the school, Lu Shangjin thought for
a moment; how would he ask her about it without startling her?

Before Lu Shangjin could make a move, a cab pulled up and stopped in

front of the female teacher.
Jiang Xiaohong waved her hand, covered her mouth and whimpered that
she did not need a lift.

The driver rolled down his window, stuck his head out and greeted Jiang
Xiaohong, “Ms. Jiang, why are you here?”

Once she heard the familiar voice, Jiang Xiaohong lifted her head, “Mr.
Chen? Why are you driving… a taxi…”

It had always been Mr. Chen who picked up Wenchi before. Jiang Xiaohong
would always see him and greet him often.

Mr. Chen gave a bitter smile, “I was fired by the boss. I’m guessing it’s the
same situation as yours. I see that it’s inconvenient for you to walk, come
get in the car. I was just switching shifts, let’s find a restaurant and think of
a way.”

“Thank you, thank you sir.” Jiang Xiaohong looked around before bringing
her high heels and got into Mr. Chen’s car.

Lu Shangjin had excellent eyesight and understood what they were saying
just by reading their lips.

After the cab pulled away, Lu Shangjin started his engine and followed.

Mr. Chen helped Ms. Jiang into a restaurant and Lu Shangjin followed them
in.

A wall of grease and smoke hit him as he walked in, his microscopic vision
allowing him to see almost all the hundreds of billions of bacteria through
the uncleansed grease on the table.

But he couldn’t care about all of that. He sat in a corner and randomly
ordered two dishes, mainly focused on the two people pouring out their
bitterness to each other.

“Boss Shao fired me. Before, it was always me who drove his little brother
to school. Then one day the boss promised he would send Wenchi to school,
and I don’t know why but that plan fell apart. The child is stubborn. I
persuaded him for so long but he didn’t get in my car and ran off by
himself.” Mr. Chen swallowed a mouthful of beer and hissed out a breath.

“I was thinking, the way over is so close, a day without sending him off
should be fine. Besides, other people’s children all go to school by
themselves. It just so happened that my mother fell in the bathroom that day
and I was in a hurry to go to the hospital, so I didn’t follow him.”

“Alas, who knew this would happen? Taking a step back to look at this, I
saw young master Wenchi come back from a good vacation, he didn’t get
hurt at all.”

Ms. Jiang could only manage to cry.

A mix of good and bad people were in the small restaurant. Occasionally,
there were flyer distributors sneaking in to hand out a card to each table.

Lu Shangjin was also given one. He picked it up and looked at it. It was a
recent report bounty sent by the gland hunters club.

The gland hunters were searching for high level glands to sell for a living
and they roamed throughout the city. High grade glands were scarce, and
with such few gland hunters, it was hard to keep track of their movements.

So they mobilized the masses, letting more people help them in their search
by offering rewards. Those that could provide reliable clues would be able
to get a substantial bounty. If they successfully captured one, those people
could get rewarded as well.

Jiang Xiaohong had a low alcohol tolerance, and after seeing this small
flyer, she subconsciously whispered to Mr. Chen, “Oh right, there’s a thing
you definitely don’t know. Before the children’s organized medical
examination, I peeked at Shao Wenchi’s file, guess what I saw…”

Mr. Chen chewed on a peanut while he drank, “What?”

“Shao Wenchi actually has the gland differentiation potential of M2.”

Mr. Chen violently choked on a mouthful of beer.

Lu Shangjin’s face changed slightly.

No wonder that little spider always had the scent of a high-grade alpha
around him. He’s probably closely protected by bodyguards arranged by
Shao Wenjing. That little spider’s glands had not yet been differentiated and
upgraded, he wasn’t yet capable of self-protection.

School medical reports were immediately sealed, and strict rules were
placed in that no institutions were allowed to privately test minors for
glandular grade and differentiation potential. Pheromone testing needles
were also prohibited.

The document was never marked with differentiation potential.

Lu Shangjin narrowed his eyes and stared at the female teacher whose
moral character was now questionable. Through his suspicious eyes, he
measured her up and down.

And then he saw her quietly fold the flyer before stuffing it into her
handbag.
 Chap 49

By: Fel, yukirayu

Lu Shangjin slept, lying on the steering wheel for a while. The back and
trouser legs of the suit he hadn’t had time to change out of were crinkled up.

He woke up in a haze and felt his face, the stubble on his chin unshaven for
several days. He leaned over to the passenger side to feel around for the
spare razor. The little rabbit’s skin was very soft and delicate, so he couldn’t
prick him with pain when he coaxed to console him.

Until he felt that his neck and chin was smooth and tidy, Lu Shangjin pulled
his necktie loose with one hand. He couldn’t even stand the necktie being
out of line before, but now the tie was casually hanging in a loose and
disorderly manner.

It was the end of holidays, and the kids were sent in by their parents, one
after another.

Outside the school gate, Lu Shangjin’s car was replaced by an ordinary

Toyota. Among the many luxury cars staying in front of the school, his was
like a small unobtrusive stone. Nobody noticed him.

Lu Shangjin focused on searching for that wisp of devil’s snare pheromones

near the school. He suspected that a driver would send that little spider here.

Ten minutes later, Lu Shangjin suddenly froze. He raised his head to

carefully feel the familiar scent in the air that was getting closer and closer.

He remembered the milk candy when he was younger. In a large box of

milk candy, a small rabbit suddenly jumped out, clinging to him and calling
him Jin-ge, and stuffing a piece of sweet milk candy into his mouth.
Lu Shangjin rushed to push the door open and almost missed the step when
he got out as his eyes anxiously searched in the dense crowd. A child
holding a milk sorbet ran past him, the scent of the milk candy hitting hard
on Lu Shangjin’s heart.

All of a sudden, Lu Shangjin’s vision became blurry as hope ignited and

extinguished over and over, like a piece of iron that had been repeatedly
bent before finally breaking in the middle.

He looked at himself in the rearview mirror, his eyes sorrowfully enveloped

in a layer of water.

He suddenly recalled; when he went home one early morning, Yan Yi was
wearing an apron as he was washing dishes in the kitchen.

The garbage cans were full of seemingly untouched meals.

Seeing that he came back, Yan Yi hurriedly wiped his hands and walked
out. He opened his mouth as if to ask something and hesitated for a long
time, but only asked him:

“Are you hungry?”

Thinking about it now, those dull eyes were actually filled with grievances.
Lu Shangjin never thought about whether he would be sad when he was
preparing a sumptuous dinner only to receive the text “not coming home
tonight”.

He couldn’t wait to go back.

To go and eat all the untouched food at the table without even leaving a
drop of vegetable soup. How he wished to rub the little rabbit into his arms
and love him dearly, making up for all the things he had owed him over the
years.

Lu Shangjin silently leaned against the car door, his fingers digging into the
sealant lining of the car window frame.

The moment he lifted his gaze, he thought he saw it wrong.

Across the crowded steam of people at the school gate, he saw the tall and
charming figure taking off his helmet on the opposite side of the road where
the traffic was surging. His grey hair was lifted up by the wind, his two
little rabbit ears raising up as he shook off a few creases pressed by the
helmet.

“Yan Yan!” Seized with a sudden impulse, Lu Shangjin chased after him.
As the flow of people blocked his line of sight one by one, he shouted
loudly, “Yan Yan!”

As far as he could see, the thin, warm and soft body was suddenly pulled
into a pair of arms.

Lu Shangjin didn’t even react and froze in place.

Wearing a tight leather jacket, Shao Wenjing was sitting on a motorcycle

and pulled Yan Yi’s waist from behind. He took off his helmet with one
hand and kissed Yan Yi’s little ear affectionately.

Yan Yi didn’t indulge him, but he didn’t refuse him either.

He leaned down to take out a bag of handmade milk-candy from his pocket,
carefully putting them into Wenchi’s school bag, instructing him in a soft
voice, “Eat them with other kids. You’ll have cavities if you eat all of them
yourself.”

The little spider nodded obediently and tenderly hugged Yan Yi’s neck,
pleading in a coquettish tone, “Bunny and gege have to pick me up on
Friday, okay?”

Yan Yi’s eyes curved as he stroked his finely soft hair. “Okay. Listen
carefully at school.”

Shao Wenjing raised a corner of his lips and exposed the tip of one of his
canine teeth. “If little alpha devils bully you at school, remember to hit
them back. Call other people to hit back if you can’t do it; it’s too
meaningless to tell the teacher or whatever.”
Yan Yi turned around and gave him a look that conveyed, “Shut up,” before
pushing Wenchi’s little school bag. “Go on then.”

The little spider happily sped away, running to wait for the red light with
some classmates on the sidewalk.

Yan Yi watched him with worry. ​How could he let such a small child cross
the road by himself?

Revealing one’s true concern could not deceive others, nor could it be
disguised. Shao Wenjing fixed his gaze onto the side of Yan Yi’s face as he
unconsciously embraced him, softly murmuring in his ear, “Let’s go back.
You can’t stay outside the manor for too long.”

“Yan Yan!”

The urgent shout startled both of them.

Lu Shangjin hurried over this way, bypassing the crowd of people and
traffic. His haggard face was as pale as paper, and his hoarse voice seemed
to carry extreme anguish.

Strangely yet surprisingly, Yan Yi looked at him. When he turned behind to

look, he revealed a confused expression.

“You’re calling me?”

Yan Yi looked sympathetically at Lu Shangjin. What a good-looking alpha,

and yet he didn’t seem to be in good spirits.

Shao Wenjing was stunned at first, then gave an odious grin.

In the past, when the name “young master Lu” was mentioned, the first
words that came to people’s minds were “strict and serious”, and they were
unable to find anything improper about him.

He wanted to take a picture of Lu Shangjin’s current discomfited

appearance and let their circle of friends open their eyes.
Soon after, Shao Wenjing kissed Yan Yi’s cheek in front of Lu Shangjin.

He originally wanted to kiss his lips, but Yan Yi avoided it in discomfort.

But it didn’t matter, he knew Lu Shangjin couldn’t handle this.

This scene was like a blow to the head, catching Lu Shangjin off guard and
having his head broken and bleeding.

Lu Shangjin panted violently, his chest heaving involuntarily. His fierce

glare almost tearing the corners of his eyes——

His precious Qing Hua porcelain had been dirtied all over with the touch of
someone’s fingerprints and handprints.

Back in the days, Lu Shangjin would rather break his precious porcelain.
He would rather destroy than allow others to touch his things.

But now, he was only worried about whether Yan Yi was forced, whether he
was threatened, or really hated him to the bone, and got back at him by
hurting himself in this way.

“Where are you going?” Lu Shangjin watched Yan Yi mounting onto the
back of the motorcycle and was driven mad as he watched Shao Wenjing
hold his hands, lifting them up to put them around his waist to make him
hug him. The motorcycle roared away with a forceful twist of the throttle.

“Yan Yan! Yan Yan! You don’t recognize me?!” Lu Shangjin chased after
the motorcycle riding away, blocked by the flow of traffic as the green light
came on.

His vision turned black and his feet turned weak, he staggered two steps
and slowly squatted down while holding onto the traffic light.

Yan Yi’s confused and sympathetic gaze lingered in his mind. That
expression was detached yet calm. He was like a stranger to him, like they
were people from two different worlds who have never crossed paths.

“Oh.”
A small hand stretched out in front of him, a milk candy held in his palm.

Shao Wenchi squatted in front of him, tilting his head as he studied him.
Stretching the hand holding the milk candy forward, he blinked a little
timidly, “For you.”

Lu Shangjin was taken aback, receiving the milk candy into the palm of his
hand as though he was holding a treasure.

He watched Wenchi skip across the road, with four alpha bodyguards
following at a distance.

Losing his wits, Lu Shangjin wanted to drive after them, but his trembling
hand forgot how to insert the key into the hole.

He found a clean piece of tissue and carefully wrapped the milk candy in
his palm one fold at a time, as focused as if he were delicately carving an
expensive gemstone.

The scent of milk candy came out through the tissue.

Lu Shangjin couldn’t help but peel open the tissue, swallow the small milk
candy into his mouth and chewed hard. He chewed very slowly, afraid he
would finish it if he were not careful, yet feeling as if he chewed hard. It
was like a wolf tearing at bones, with his cheeks aching.

What’s the matter with this?

His mind buzzed with a dull pain and went blank.

Why didn’t the little rabbit come running in grievance and hug him?

Why did he go with someone else?

Did he not want him anymore?

——

This matter must be made clear.

He would then no longer misunderstand Yan Yi.

But he still couldn’t find which way Shao Wenjing had gone.

Ever since Shao Wenjing left with Yan Yi on his motorcycle, their
pheromones had disappeared, like they vanished into thin air. Lu Shangjin
dug deep and searched every corner of Nan Qi, yet he couldn’t find even a
single trace left by Shao Wenjing.

He wanted to ask that little spider omega.

However, the school was fully closed down with military management, and
the little spider was also escorted by bodyguards. He didn’t have a chance
to get close.

So for three whole days, he had been keeping an eye on the female teacher
that got suspended.

His car didn’t need to be parked in the neighbourhood. The living room and
master bedroom where the female teacher lived was faced outside of the
neighbourhood and was located on the first floor. With Lu Shangjin’s
eyesight, he could easily see any subtle activities from her.

She had a young daughter who was also a beta. Suspended at home, besides
spending most of her time with her daughter, she spent the rest of her time
outside, and met with Mr Chen once again within those three days.

Lu Shangjin threw away his empty cigarette box. Holding the last cigarette
in his mouth, he drew a breath of the light blue flame gathered close to his
palm as his eyes followed her out for a few hundred meters.

Jiang Xiaohong deliberately took Mr Chen to the corner where there was no
one. She looked around, then stuffed a kraft paper archive file into Mr
Chen’s hand.

Mr Chen checked the file and smiled at Jiang Xiaohong, “The return bonus
is half for one person.” He turned to get back into his car, stepping on the
accelerator and sped away.
“Ai…” Jiang Xiaohong absent-mindedly chased forward for two steps, her
trembling fingers holding on to her heart. In the end, she still couldn’t go
back on her word.

She took a few deep breaths to calm her uneasy mood, and as soon as she
turned around, her view was blocked by a strip of black metal.

Jiang Xiaohong screamed and took two steps back in fear. Looking upwards
along the muzzle of the gun, Lu Shangjin was sitting on a low wall two
meters high, single-handedly carrying a Souct with the scope removed. The
muzzle of the gun held up her chin, the weapon icy-cold against the skin of
the neck.

Jiang Xiaohong froze and slowly raised her hands.

She had no conceptions of weapons. When pointed at her neck by the

muzzle of the gun, she seemed to be playing a VR version of “Jedi:
Survivor”, where the boss of the game was punishing her with the Souct
tilted at a 45 degree angle.

With the icy-cold muzzle against her skin, the strong smell of gunpowder
entered her nose, only then did she suddenly wake up to the fact that this
was not a dream.

Jiang Xiaohong was shoved into the passenger seat. Lu Shangjin put the
Souct in the backseat before starting the car. He steadily looked forward,
driving toward the direction driver Chen went in.

“Where are you taking me…? Let me off… Do you want money…?” The
female teacher cowered in a corner, keeping away from this man.

Under the fierce, knife-like eyelids, the grim and sorrowful eyes looked
straight ahead. The smell of tobacco and the aggressive pheromones of an
alpha told one how dangerous this man was.

For civilians, and especially for betas, this was a horrific experience that
one would never encounter in a lifetime.
Not beating around the bush, Lu Shangjin went directly to the point, “You
want that driver to report the clues of high-grade omega glands for you to
get back at Shao Wenjing?”

She didn’t dare to report herself, because she knew about the consequences.
If Shao Wenjing were to catch a hint, never mind her job, she wouldn’t be
able to save eve her life.

Jiang Xiaohong had already become a terribly frightened bird. Being

exposed to the face of what she was planning to do, she raised her voice and
looked at Lu Shangjin in horror. “No…I only let driver Chen give some
clues to them…Shao Wenjing’s background is so strong…those gland
hunters could never touch Shao Wenchi…I-I’m just short of money…”

Jiang Xiaohong covered her face as she wept, “You don’t see how scary
those debt collectors carrying knives to our door are… My daughter and I
can only hide in the toilet and dare not make a sound. I’ve suffered
enough…We have to pay the debt that useless man owes…I still have to
pay the mortgages, take care of my parents and child…”

At first, she was still able to support the family in the raging storm, but now
she felt that her days were too dark to see the end of the tunnel.

She cried until Lu Shangjin felt annoyed and perplexed, his manic episode
about to break out.

Lu Shangjin grabbed her by the jaw and covered her mouth. breathing hard.
His eyes were so wide that the whites were exposed, as he hysterically
whispered a warning through clenched teeth.

“Don’t irritate me, please- AH——!’

 Chap 50

By: Fel, Jie

Shao Wenchi’s primary school security was extremely strict. The school
was mostly made up of prominent aristocratic children, so they would not
be able to handle the responsibility should any danger come across them.

But nothing was 100% foolproof. If someone wanted to, they would be able
to find an opportunity.

During the second class every afternoon, the cleaning staff would take out
the whole day’s garbage from the back door of the school playground. And
every second class on Wednesday afternoons was when Shao Wenchi’s
class had P.E.

Children at this age were active and noisy. P.E. was usually only scheduled
to be 20 minutes of physical training, and the other 20 minutes was left for
the students to free play.

Lu Shangjin’s car was parked a few dozen meters away from the back door
of the school, his eyes falling on Jiang Xiaohong as she wobbled towards
the back door.

As the situation on Jiang Xiaohong’s suspension had yet to be announced to

the whole school, the cleaner still greeted Jiang Xiaohong with a smile,
“Miss Jiang, how come you’re coming from back here?”

Her shoulders shuddered hard, she tried hard to calm herself and let out a
dry laugh, “There’s a student’s home in this direction. Since I didn’t have
any class to teach, I paid them a visit.”
The cleaner pushed the garbage out the back door where there was a large
trash bin in front of the door. He lowered his head and propped up the lid,
putting bag after bag of daily garbage neatly in, half his body reaching into
the can.

Jiang Xiaohong took this time to call Shao Wenchi over.

Wenchi was completely unguarded towards his homeroom teacher, even

though his gege had told him never to leave the school grounds without his
bodyguard by his side.

Jiang Xiaohong took Wenchi’s small hands and led him to where Lu
Shangjin was parked.

Lu Shangjin gave her a sum of money to have her bring Wenchi out before
the glandular hunters pursued the lead.

She guessed that Lu Shangjin was a glandular hunter, having a gun held to
her throat and yet having to do as she was told.

Furthermore, the reward given by Lu Shangjin was a salary she couldn’t

earn from even ten years of teaching. She and her daughter need not worry
for their survival anymore.

Other people’s children were uncomparable to your own gold and

valuables. Just bite the bullet and forget about it; consciousness won’t feed
you.

In the short few dozen meters over, Jiang Xiaohong’s heart welled up with
anxiety.

Wenchi looked up. Blinking his eyes, he asked, “Teacher, why didn’t you
come teach us? Why haven’t you given out this time’s composition yet?”

Jiang Xiaohong often read well-written essays out to the class, commenting
carefully on how well it was written. Wenchi liked the composition class
the most.
This little spider’s talent for composition was higher than his peers, his
young and tender words always giving shine to things that others couldn’t
see. When other children wrote about helping grandmothers cross the road
and making up some trivia to make up the numbers, he wrote about ants on
a maple leaf.

Jiang Xiaohong asked him before, and Wenchi said, even if he suddenly
laid down on the road to stare at something, gege would never scold him.
Instead he would crouch next to him quietly waiting, and when he stood up,
he helped him pat the dust off his clothes.

He was also a treasured baby held in the palm of another family’s hand.

Jiang Xiaohong gritted her teeth, choked and pulled Wenchi back towards
where they came from, “Okay Wenchi, let’s go back, hurry back to
school……”

Lu Shangjin noticed that she was backtracking and immediately thought of

getting out of the car to do it himself.

But before he could push open the car door, the surrounding air suddenly
filled with a strong alpha scent that was quickly approaching. At least 30 J1
grade alphas charged in from all different directions, snatching Wenchi
from Jiang Xiaohong’s hand, and throwing him into a black cloth bag
before turning and fleeing.

The small child was terrified, kicking and screaming frantically in the sack
for his gege to save his life.

The janitor was just an ordinary omega and was crushed by the powerful
alpha scent, unable to breathe. Jiang Xiaohong screamed shrilly and ran into
the school to call security.

Wenchi’s bodyguards were not allowed to enter the playground inside, but
upon hearing Jiang Xiaohong’s scream, they broke in at once through the
gate to rush over, but the young master was gone.
Lu Shangjin’s face went cold. He closed his car door and floored the gas
pedal, speeding off in the direction where the several high-grade alphas had
left.

The 30 J1 alphas that had pounced out at once had probably spent up half of
their glandular hunter powers.

This little spider was the only bargaining chip that could get Yan Yan back,
and Lu Shangjin would not let go of this opportunity.

The maple leaves by the hot spring were getting more lush and prosperous,
and these days Yan Yi felt that his condition had gotten worse.

He often sat by the bench and zoned out. He sat for three or four hours,
holding a leaf in his hand until the stem of the leaf was bent and shrivelled.

Who was the alpha that had called him Yan Yan?

Yan Yi froze for a moment as something flashed through his mind. The
name Lu Shangjin appeared.

A reflexive pain in his stomach followed.

Was he one of the alphas he used to keep? He had the impression that he
was a well-behaved and obedient alpha, he liked him like crazy and had
even given him gifts.

An alpha whom he had abandoned, how pitiful.

At a loss, Yan Yi played with the ring he wore on his right hand.

Every meal he had in the manor was exquisite, but Yan Yi was getting
thinner. His ring finger was so thin that he needed his middle and pinky
fingers to squeeze the ring so that it wouldn’t be swung off.

He was surprised to find an extremely fine string of floral tattoo in English

on his ring finger, “everlasting love”.

Had he once also given some other alpha a never-ending love?

He sat curled up in a ball on the bench with his head in his arms. Shao
Wenjing had given him a new phone to make it easy for him to make
contact himself.

Yan Yi wanted his alpha to come back to be with him.

When he picked up his phone, he subconsciously dialed a sequence of

unfamiliar numbers. He probably did have Shao Wenjing’s number saved.
Who did this string of numbers belong to?

He dialed it out just to give it a try.

He was a ball of a rabbit nestled on the bench, flipping around his little ears.

It rang twelve times; the number you have dialed was not answered.

Yan Yi wondered as he set his phone down, still holding the maple leaf in
his hand. Soft music played from the hidden stereo by the hot spring, the
piano parts wafting through his ears.

He pulled himself up, asking the servant cleaning beside him, “What is this
tune?”

The servant stopped and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, her
Euroamerican face was simple and profound. She smiled politely, “Luv
Letter.”

A love letter.

Shocked, Yan Yi lifted his ears and listened to every detail.

He vividly recalled a pair of hands covered in scars from bullet shell

fragments, knuckles long and elegant as they played the keys with a bleak
sense of disconnection.

The music inside the manor could not be heard outside, even if Lu Shangjin
was nearby.
Lu Shangjin carried an ordinary Souct sniper rifle across his back with
another AK47 slung across his back the other way. Clutching a pile of
documents and bending his hand back to hold Shao Wenchi, his other hand
leaned against the wall as he flipped over it with ease.

Behind them, bullets fired and several vans chased them to the low wall.
Gland hunters all rushed out of the car and followed suit in flipping over the
wall.

Shao Wenchi cowered in Lu Shangjin’s arms. The ground suddenly rose

and fell, scaring him so much as he clung to Lu Shangjin’s neck,
whimpering into his ear, “I want to go home…… I want gege……”

He only whimpered softly, seeming to become really terrified.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shangjin was not annoyed and even released a bit of

soothing pheromones for him.

But he only let out a little. His glands had been overdrawn twice recently,
so it was hard to regain full strength in a short amount of time. No extra
pheromones could be further spared for other omegas.

After the little rabbit was picked up, he would give all the soothing
pheromones to the rabbit so that he felt safe. Lu Shangjin would never leave
him again, he would never let him stay alone at home waiting for him late
into the night.

He had always been a lone wolf that strayed from the pack, wandering at
the edge of darkness. Stepping into the abyss, he had become exactly what
he feared most.

In fact, the little rabbit had been pulling him into the light. His hands were
scratched and his heart was pierced, yet was still willing to pull him out,
dragging him back to his original world from the edge of incurable depths.

The phone suddenly vibrated. Lu Shangjin subconsciously freed his hand to

take a look. It was an unknown number.
The current situation was an unfit time to answer the call, but Lu Shangjin
was afraid of missing any news on Yan Yi.

He had even guessed it would be Shao Wenjing on the other end.

He picked up the call, and the opposing end was silent, as if surprised that
he had picked up.

The numerous gland hunters who were chasing him saw that the peregrine
falcon alpha was answering the phone. It immediately provoked their
dignity as chasers.

Lu Shangjin didn’t care, his heart thumping, as if he had already smelled

the faint and thin scent of milk candy through the phone.

“Yan Yan…… is that you?” Lu Shangjin didn’t have any free hands to grab
his gun, he kept propping his elbows on the edge of the low wall and could
not bear to hang up.

“I…… think I’ve got the wrong number, sorry.”

It really was Yan Yi’s voice.

Lu Shangjin begged him not to hang up, “No, it’s not the wrong number,
listen to my voice, it’s me, Lu Shangjin, why don’t you remember me? Cut
it out, I know I’ve wronged you, Ge has let you down……”

“Sorry……” There was a hint of surprise in Yan Yi’s voice, “I just wanted
to tell you that maybe I played with you a few times before and I went
overboard, but now I can only say that I’m sorry. How much do you want
for the breakup fee?”

“What?”

Lu Shangin only felt a bottle of liquor directly hit his head, every shard
stabbing him, it hurt so much that it was like being thrown into a pan and
fried.

Even his scalp was feeling numb.

Suddenly, the side of his rib hurt a little. Stunned, Lu Shangjin reached to
touch it, and his right hand still holding the phone was all covered in blood.

A bullet had grazed his ribs, it took Lu Shangjin ten seconds to feel the pain
that felt like his finger had been severed off.

He silently put down the phone, flipped over a scrap wall, took off the
AK47 hanging from his back and shot back. Pressing Shao Wenchi into his
arms, he rolled in a circle on the ground while dodging the bullets, and
when he got up, he vanished.

Perhaps because he had received a little bit of soothing pheromones, Shao

Wenchi quieted down and pressed his cheek against Lu Shangjin’s shoulder.
A wave of sadness flowed out Lu Shangjin’s chest and into the small child’s
mind.

This person was full of sorrow.

Shao Wenchi could feel it.

Lu Shangjin led him away to shake off the pursuing gland hunters. They
burrowed into a half-demolished building and climbed up the dusty stairs to
the top floor.

He slowed down then sat on the ground to catch his breath, letting the blood
of the gunshot wound in his ribs drip from his side as his spine hunched
over into a lonely arc.

When thinking of his teenage years during the most intense fight they had,
the little rabbit had also mentioned breaking up because he said hurtful
things, saying the dishes that the little rabbit cooked were awful. He had
said it tasted like he had cooked candles with green peppers.

Yan Yi was sad for so long, sitting on the balcony and ignoring him. That
was the first dish he had learned for Lu Shangjin. How could he say that?

No matter how fiercely he said to break up, the little rabbit would only find
somewhere at home to sulk alone.
But he did want Lu Shangjin to coax him softly.

Lu Shangjin took the clean plate to the balcony and put it in front of him,
“Hard to eat is hard to eat, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t eat it.”

Yan Yi pursed his lips.

Lu Shangjin took out another bowl of scorched black tomatoes and

scrambled eggs and proudly told Yan Yi that ge’s cooking was even worse
tasting.

The little rabbit awkwardly squirmed into his arms.

When he didn’t want to break up, he would leave the room no matter what,
instead of asking over the phone “how much do you want for the breakup
fee”.

Lu Shangjin was getting scared.

The little rabbit was following his example and insulting him.

Yet he had nothing to say, he had done similar things to Yan Yi, but worse.

“Are you…… okay?” Shao Wenchi stood unbalanced and dropped to the
ground onto his butt.

Lu Shangjin picked him up and brought him closer, “Tell me, what did Shao
Wenjing do to Yan Yi.”

He could guess that it had something to do with the spider’s paralyzing

powers. He wanted to know more but was also afraid of what he would
learn.

Wenchi twiddled his fingers and looked at him blankly.

What could a kid know? His brain really was broken.

Lu Shangjin put him back on the ground and pinched the bridge of his nose.
Taking out his phone, he took a picture of Wenchi. He sent the picture and
location to the number that had just called.

“Bring Yan Yi in exchange for your little brother.”

He then leaned against the wall and looked through the stack of papers he
had grabbed.

If they had just snatched one prey from the hands of the glandular hunters,
they would not have been chased down by so many people. This pile of
documents was the important thing that they could not lose.

Inside was a thick file with lists of names and corresponding photos.

Most were children around Wenchi’s age; some were even younger ones, all
omegas.Their differentiation potentials were mostly above J1, some had yet
to be tested.

Wenchi crawled over and looked at the papers with him. He pointed at one
of the photos and said in horror, “This is my deskmate, he hasn’t been in
class since two days ago. His father came to the school and was still crying
as he was packing up his things.”

Lu Shangjin’s full attention was caught as he took a closer look at the

picture of the small child.

It was a soft little grey rabbit, his soft little ears hanging adorably, just as
pleasing to look at as Yan Yi was when he was a child.

All were small children who were targets of glandular hunters.

Small children didn’t have the ability to defend themselves and were the
easiest targets to capture. But most of the children at this school had
backgrounds, glandular hunters who dared to target them also had strong
people backing them, providing them with weapons and resources which
emboldened them to run rampage.

Lu Shangjin tidied up the files, rolled them up and tucked them into his
tactical belt.
Right at this moment, nothing was more important than finding Yan Yi.

He wasn’t in the mood to think about anything else. From his pocket, he
fished out a laminated photo and gently stroked it.

Wenchi crawled over to look at it with him.

He also particularly liked the omega in the photo who was laughing while
pulling his little rabbit ears. Wenchi wanted him and gege to be together,
because then he could see him everyday.

He looked back at Lu Shangjin, the alpha’s face was moist with water.

The rusting iron doors of the balcony were violently kicked open. Lu
Shangjin was immediately on alert and grabbed Wenchi. Holding him, he
backed away towards the edge of the balcony.

Shao Wenjing walked in, his bloodshot eyes stared fiercely at Lu Shangjin,
as if he was staring at the natural enemy of poisonous insects. Evil hostility
rushed through and filled his body.

Wenchi yelled out clearly, “Gege!”

Shao Wenjin’s pupils quivered, his fists were clenched. His peach blossom
eyes that seemed to be carrying a frivolous smile had diminished into
nothing but viciousness.

“Lu Shangjin…… don’t stand there, come here.” It was too high over there,
Wenchi would get scared.

Lu Shangjin stood his ground, his face expressionless as he stood at the

edge of the balcony, “There are a lot of glandular hunters around here. Hand
Yan Yi over and I won’t make things difficult for the child.”

“So you’re aware that you’re making it difficult for a child?”

From the iron gate, Yan Yi stepped out, in his hand was a desert eagle
pistol, the muzzle pointed in between Lu Shangjin’s eyebrows. His gaze
was cold as it swept across Lu Shangjin’s body. Lu Shangjin knew this look
extremely well. He was estimating the distance and speed to determine if he
could kill the target without hurting the hostage.

After having been partners for so many years, they were familiar with each
other’s vigilant actions by heart.

Lu Shangjin’s heart cracked inch by inch.

But Yan Yi had not opened fire.

At first, the only worry was that blood may spill onto Wenchi, which would
cause childhood trauma for the little child.

Later, it was because he saw the sadness and loneliness on the alpha’s face.

Yan Yi covered his heart, where there grew a dull pain.

But it was just an unfamiliar alpha, maybe one of his one-night stands,
maybe a few too many nights.

He saw Lu Shangjin’s hand, chiseled and covered with old scars, and on the
ring finger on his left hand was a wedding ring.

Suddenly, the delicate silence was broken by a chain of machine-gun bullets

going off. Lu Shangjin saw the red dots appearing on his own chest. He
abruptly rolled over for cover while subconsciously pushing Wenchi out of
the sniper range.

Machine-gun bullets flew around haphazardly, then a shock bomb was

thrown onto the balcony and exploded violently. After the thundering bang,
the balcony that was already half in ruins suddenly collapsed.

Wenchi screamed and slid violently off the roof.

Shao Wenjing threw caution to the wind and lunged after him, “Wenchi!
Wenchi!”

Shao Wenjing dodged out of the way without warning. Where Yan Yi was
standing, he was exposed to all the heavy machine gun rounds going off
around them.

He froze for a moment and forgot to dodge.

After a while, he felt a familiar coldness.

He had been abandoned again.

He was always the one being abandoned.

Yan Yi froze for a long time, he reached for his own glands, wanting to ask
himself, aren’t A3 glands very valuable?

The more someone didn’t need to be protected, the more they were curious
and expected protection.

But why had no one been willing to treat him like the best?

His body jerked tightly and immediately hit the ground hard. However, he
didn’t hit his head, as there was a warm hand cushioning it.

Lu Shangjin wrapped his body around him and rolled into cover. He
switched to the sniper rifle on his back, narrowing his eyes, and located
their opponents on the other side. He took aim and pulled the trigger.

His gun had no magnification, so he could only rely on his peregrine falcon
eyes for his extreme vision.

A sniper fell from the high points of a building.

The balcony collapsed with a bang. Lu Shangjin jumped down with Yan Yi
in his arms, his hand hooked onto the lower protective window, while he
swung his body into the lower level. He held onto Yan Yi’s back as they
smashed through the glass which shattered all over the ground.

Yan Yi’s head was pressed tightly against his chest.

His body was wrapped in a rich wave of soothing pheromones, the smell of
Narcissus mixed with the smell of blood.
 Chap 51

Edited and Proofread by: Jie

Yan Yi was so shocked that his vision turned dark. With his cheek pressed
against Lu Shangjin’s chest, the narcissus pheromones infused into his nose
and glands.

“Lu Shangjin?” Yan Yi murmured this name.

“It’s me, I’m here.” Lu Shangjin gripped the Souct rifle and encircled Yan
Yi into his arms with his forearm, sitting up on the ground covered with
dust and broken glass.

“Are you okay?” Lu Shangjin put his hand on Yan Yi’s neck and touched
him from head to toe. Ensuring that there weren’t any wounds, he breathed
a sigh of relief.

With his cheek held by a dusty and bloodstained hand, Yan Yi froze.

This alpha also had old, raised scars on his palm. When it was placed on his
cheek, Yan Yi could hear his heart beating.

He saw this alpha’s ribs soaked and dripping with blood.

Inexplicably, an evil fire suddenly rose from deep in Yan Yi’s heart.

He grabbed the AK47 hanging from Lu Shangjin and skillfully hung it

around himself. Carrying it single-handedly, he climbed up from Lu
Shangjin and extended a fine white hand towards him.

Overwhelmed by the unexpected flattery, Lu Shangjin grasped his hand

gently and stood up.
He had thought that Yan Yi wouldn’t be willing to let him hold his hand
again.

Yan Yi looked down and checked the magazine, raising his long, curled
eyelashes to look at Lu Shangjin, “Bullets.”

“…” Lu Shangjin unfolded his suit jacket, and the inside lining hung two
fans of bullets for him to choose from. At the same time, he tried to ask,
“Do you remember me now…”

Yan Yi interrupted him, “Give me the empty bullets.”

Lu Shangjin choked for a moment, then gave him all the empty bullets.

The little rabbit ears keenly caught the sound of rustling approaching. Yan
Yi held up his right hand and lightly shot in the direction of one o’clock.

While pulling the trigger, a gland hunter was shot through the heart and
flew out as he descended down the climbing rope, blood bursting in a
splatter from his internal injuries.

One had to admit that he was a well-trained top fighting machine that would
select extremely lethal hollow-point bullets to approach his targets.

The figure of the little rabbit coincided with the lover buried by dust in his
heart. At the beginning, he was the one who had been obsessed and
infatuated with Lu Shangjin. One side of him was romantic, while the other
side was cruel, as he held a gun in his hand and a rose between his lips.

It was Lu Shangjin who told Yan Yi to put away his wings and become a
bird in a cage to satisfy his desire for control. When the little rabbit
obediently changed, Lu Shangjin was still not satisfied.

His unpredictability and capriciousness over the years must have confused
the little rabbit.

Following the climbing rope, Yan Yi jumped up and tipped his chin slightly
towards Lu Shangjin, “Keep up.”
Lu Shangjin leaped lightly before grabbing the climbing rope and climbed
up quickly. He grasped Yan Yi’s waist and pulled him into his arms,
wrapping his arms around him and flipping back to the collapsed roof of the
building.

The feeling of being held was quite good, although it was an inappropriate
situation.

Yan Yi simply carried the AK as his left hand held onto Lu Shangjin’s neck,
letting him climb up as he carried him.

He didn’t reject his touch and embrace. The corners of Lu Shangjin’s lips
pulled up as he relaxed a little.

There was still a chance to recover. As long as Yan Yi was willing to give
him a chance, he would make up for what he did wrong.

Yan Yi casted him a sidelong glance, putting the gunstock against Lu

Shangjin’s chin and asked, “Did I spoil you this much in the past? You’re
pretty good looking.”

“What?” Lu Shangjin reacted after a long time.

What the hell did that spider do to Yan Yi? How could his memory be this
distorted?

Artificially induced memory disorders could cause gradual erosion of

nerves within the brain, which was harmful to an omega’s health.

Lu Shangjin kissed his forehead and answered with difficulty, “…Yes, you
spoiled me very very much.”

I didn’t cherish it at that time, it was all as wasted as scrap paper.

The top floor was set ablaze with gunfire, heavy machine guns and bullets
were concentrated in one corner. With one arm, Shao Wenjing hugged
Wenchi who had cried until his eyes were red, and took off his bulletproof
vest to wrap him in his arms. He escaped from the chaos of gunshots and
entered the collapsed iron gate, meeting Lu Shangjin and Yan Yi who were
running up while holding onto the stairs.

Seeing that Wenchi was safe and sound, Yan Yi’s white-knuckled grip
around the AK loosened.

Shao Wenjing glanced at Yan Yi and released soothing pheromones. He

wasn’t in the mood to take care of others right now. Wenchi was scared to
death, shaking in his arms.

The smell of poppy surrounded Yan Yi. Yan Yi’s body vibrated as he
subconsciously followed him downstairs.

His steps were a bit hurried, seeming like Shao Wenjing didn’t mean to wait
for him. Yan Yi bit his lips and broke free from Lu Shangjin’s restraint to go
after him.

“Yan Yan!” Lu Shangjin immediately pulled Yan Yi into his arms, growling
out of exasperation at his failures, “You still want to go with him?!”

“He is my alpha, who else am I going with…” Yan Yi heard his own fear at
the end of his response, the panic of being left behind.

Shao Wenjing saw him locking the little rabbit tightly in his arms. Holding
Wenchi in his own arms, he had no time to care about others.

It seemed that he could not snatch back the A3 glands today.

“What’s the use of catching hold of him?” He held Wenchi and brushed past
Lu Shangjin, sneering in a low voice, “I’ve marked him. Right now, he is
my omega.”

A few words carrying a frivolous ending were spat out in a tone that wasn’t
light nor heavy, smashing holes in Lu Shangjin’s already cracking heart.

A strand of spider silk quietly connected to Yan Yi’s glands and pumped out
all the toxins that had been injected before to trigger memory disorientation.
“He will hate you to death, good luck.” Shao Wenjing snorted with a laugh
before climbing down the stairs with Wenchi in his arms and fled towards
the exit.

Lu Shangjin locked Yan Yi more tightly into his arms and parted the hair
that covered the nape of his neck. The marks left by his teeth were still
there, an eight-legged spider totem imprint appeared on Yan Yi’s gland.

Depression and resentment that he had suppressed for several days instantly
ignited. Narcissus pheromones soared up in the tight space, and in the next
moment, he activated his accompanying ability “seize”. He wanted to tear
that spider to pieces immediately.

Yan Yi stood there like his soul had freed itself from his body.

It was as if something had been stripped from his body as he stood lifelessly
in place for a long time, watching Shao Wenjing’s back leaving without
turning back at all.

He was under the impression that there had been an alpha who left in this
same way.

He had resolutely thrown him a backward glance, like driving out into the
countryside and ruthlessly throwing off a seriously ill dog, where it was free
to live or die from then on.

In the end, he was still his omega. Watching the trance-like lonely look in
his eyes which were still hopelessly soft, Lu Shangjin hastily put away his
pheromone and did not go after Shao Wenjing. Instead, he held Yan Yi
tightly and wrapped him in his clothes, his voice trembling and hoarse, “It’s
my fault, let’s go home, ge will think of a plan for you.”

He glanced at the direction where Shao Wenjing disappeared, narrowed his

eyes, and engraved the figure of his back ruthlessly in his mind.

He admitted that every little thing he had done to Yan Yi was all
excessively vile.
But he had not been willing to mark him and let him become a prey to be
hunted by Lu Lin’s line of sight. This was Lu Shangjin’s sincere and
genuine protection, even if it had deteriorated before.

Yan Yi never said anything again.

Lu Shangjin took advantage of his lack of resistance and took him away.

Chang Hui villa had been vacant for a long time without much popularity.

Through the French windows, the clouds coming down from the sky could
be seen, brewing a cloud of thunder.

Lu Shangjin had been waiting for a storm that would come sooner or later.

He even wanted the little rabbit to get ruthlessly mad at him. Even if the
little rabbit hit him, he would not even fight back in the slightest.

But Yan Yi had curled into himself, huddling in the corner of the sofa with
nothing in his eyes, empty and void.

The only movement he made was to hold his little belly while wearing a
confused expression.

Lu Shangjin held the report of the confirmed false pregnancy and slowly
approached him. Pointing to the text on the report, with his voice light and
low, he didn’t dare to over stimulate Yan Yi’s spirit.

“It’s a false pregnancy, ge didn’t kill our child.” Lu Shangjin held the report
and showed it to him, “You see, there was nothing. But if you want a child,
we will definitely have one in the future.”

Yan Yi stared straight at the report, his head hurting severely. Disoriented
memories barged around as they fought in his brain, the disordered
fragments were like a drawer that had been tossed through, unable to find
the things that he was looking for, and the things he wanted to throw were
piling up everywhere.
Lu Shangjin released sufficient soothing pheromones while getting a little
closer to Yan Yi, gathering the stiff body into his arms as he patted him and
coaxed in a low voice, “You shouldn’t believe a false report. It was Shao
Wenjing’s foment. The photo from before was all sowing discord from
him.”

The examination report in his hand was suddenly yanked out.

Yan Yi became absorbed in looking at the report.

Lu Shangjin slowed down the dose of soothing pheromones and gently

rubbed Yan Yi’s arm, “We will have children. I love you, and love the baby.
Forgive me and we can start over, okay?”

Yan Yi was completely indifferent.

He didn’t struggle strongly, sitting dully in Lu Shangjin’s arms. His body

felt like it had passed through an ice cellar, so cold that Lu Shangjin
shivered.

As the spider markings on his neck repelled Lu Shangjin’s soothing

pheromones, Lu Shangjin released more soothing pheromones, causing Yan
Yi to show an even more painful expression.

He suddenly remembered clearly the day when Shao Wenjing bit the back
of his neck to inject pheromones with both his hands parting his legs.

The terrible flashback sent chills throughout his body.

“I don’t want to.”

Yan Yi pushed Lu Shangjin away forcefully, so forcefully that he fell off the
sofa. He knelt on the floor to retch, wanting to throw up all the nauseating
feelings deep in his bones.

When Lu Shangjin approached, he turned over the glass coffee table and
smashed everything in the living room that he could see to pieces.

“Get out of here–get out!!!”

All of a sudden, Yan Yi went crazy, pushing Lu Shangjin out and destroying
things frantically. He hissed out loudly, “What sort of thing is an alpha!
What sort of thing! Don’t come close to me! You are all equally disgusting,
get out!!!”

The wound on Lu Shangjin’s ribs was hit by the flying ashtray, and a mass
of blood-red instantly passed through the snow-white gauze.

He didn’t care about the pain. Taking advantage of the moment when Yan
Yi lost his concentration, he went over to hold him tight and kissed his
forehead, not letting go as he let Yan Yi scold, hit and struggle in his arms.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Lu Shangjin’s trembling lips repeated the words over
and over again, “Ge will avenge you. As long as you get better, ge will
avenge you. Don’t be like this, don’t hurt yourself.”

Yan Yi gradually stopped struggling and hung his arms, standing

powerlessly, as if without Lu Shangjin’s support, a breeze could blow him
over.

“I don’t want to see any of you.” He said.

The smell belonging to Lu Shangjin on his glands had already disappeared.

Without the A3 higher-grade glandular instincts dependent on the person
who marked him, the dazzling colour of Lu Shangjin in his eyes gradually
became one with the surrounding grey world.

Lu Shangjin was not the most special alpha anymore.

Shao Wenjing even less so.

It was like being trapped and wandering among the vast river of stars, but
after asking every star, there was no place for him.

The fabric on his shoulder became warm. Lu Shangjin looked down and
realized that Yan Yi was weeping silently, not a single trace of light left in
his eyes.
 Chap 52

The room was lit with a lamp. Inside, there was an iron-railed bed. Xia
Jingtian was lying against the bed board with his right hand handcuffed to
the bed.

He idly thumbed through Yan Yi’s notebook.

Xia Jingtian had been confined for the past few days, so he was bored. The
palm-sized notebook was flipped through a dozen times. It had become a
little worn.

What Gu Wei said was still right; If you don’t fall in love, you won’t face
bullshit.

The little rabbit was really good, but in the end, it wasn’t him in his heart.

There was a page on the notebook that was covered with tears. “Jin ge was
hurt because of me,” was written, the plus sign was followed by a lot of
zeros, giving Lu Shangjin a thousand points as he wished.

He knew that the pursuit of his own sudden whim in any case could not
withstand the ten years of someone’s pure friendship.

There was rustling outside the square window opposite the bed, and the
window lock was pulled open by a force of gravity. Xia Pingtian quietly
came in, putting the insulated lunch box next to his pillow.

“Pork rib soup, quickly eat while it’s hot.” Xia Pingtian stood by the broken
bed and looked down at him. There were bruises all over his body from the
iron bars. He felt around for the box of bruising ointment from his pocket
and threw it at Xia Jingtian.
“Look, look, what did I say?’ Xia Pingtian wandered around the
confinement room in exasperation at his failures, “I asked you not to go out
and find trouble. You’ve pissed off our dad right?”

Xia Jingtian poked himself up to lean against the iron bars. With one leg up,
he pillowed his head with his hand and looked at his brother, “Because I
was busy sending Lu Shangjin locations at the time, so I didn’t have time to
hide from dad’s people, otherwise dad wouldn’t have been able to catch me
at all.”

Xia Pingtian closed his eyes and held his forehead.

“Ge, I want to go to the army.”

Xia Pingtian paused at the sudden sentence. He sat at the foot of the bed in
silence, then took a cigarette and lighted it.

“That is a tough place.” He took a breath, “Go to school. If you don’t want
to work with me after you graduate, or you want to continue studying
abroad or start your own business, anything is fine.”

“I want to go to PBB.” Xia Jingtian repeated, used to being willfully

stubborn with his brother.

While he searched overnight for Yan Yi’s whereabouts, he found a lot of

little things he hadn’t noticed.

In recent years, search notices had been flying everywhere. Many omegas
had gone missing, but such news were like stones sinking into the sea, as if
evaporating into thin air without a trace.

Most of the missing omegas had a differentiation grade of J1 or so, and

glandular hunters were inextricably linked to them.

It turned out that the dark corners of the world sheltered evil and concealed
corruption, invisible and untouchable to the young master in the ivory
tower.
“You should finish school first.” Xia Pingtian thought, “The publicity isn’t
good these two years, Lu Lin is afraid to seize Gu Yuanzhi’s power.
Recently, PBB…has been turbulent. We can’t even feel how deep the
waters are.”

“Then you ask dad for a favour for me. Ask him to get me out there.” Xia
Jingtian had to take the second best option, “I’ll go meet up with Lu
Shangjin for the last time. I won’t stir up trouble for you.”

Xia Pingtian frowned, “Dad is in a fit of anger right now. He said that you
made the Xia family lose face because of a little rabbit. If I go now to plead
with him, I’ll be handcuffed next to you later.”

“…” Xia Jingtian crossed his legs and lowered his head, “It’s so suffocating
here.”

“Hah, you now know it’s suffocating.” Xia Pingtian snickered.

This broken “tian” was also his own little brother. Watching his arrogance
ground away and his head lowered, it made him a little bit unbearable
instead.

“Eat up first, I’ll figure out the rest.”

His phone vibrated. Xia Pingtian glanced down at it: it was Lu Shangjin.

“Lu ge.”

Xia Jingtian immersed himself in eating. Hearing that it was Lu Shangjin,

he glanced up and mouthed to ask his brother, “Found him?”

Xia Pingtian mouthed back, “None of your business.”

The voice on the phone sounded helpless, almost pitiful:

“Pingtian, can a rabbit’s depression be treated?”

When Xia Pingtian rushed to An Fei Ya hospital, Lu Shangjin had already

been sitting on the bench in the corridor for a while, constantly pressing his
hands to his eyes that were sore and swollen because of excessive late
nights.

Several experienced veteran professors were gathered in the meeting room,

asking Lu Shangjin about the condition.

“He recognizes me sometimes, but sometimes he doesn’t.”

“I just went to peel an apple for him, but when I went back, I saw him
slitting his wrists back and forth with a razor blade. It didn’t look like he
was committing suicide. It’s self-harm.”

“He has frequent outbursts of anger and breaks everything in sight before
giving up.”

“He’s asleep in the closet now, I’ll have to rush back in a while.”

The old professors looked at each other and gave some advice to Lu
Shangjin, telling him to go back and use more soothing pheromones. As
long as he was always taken care of by the soothing pheromones of his
marker, the state of his condition could gradually be managed.

Lu Shangjin fell into a chair and clutched his head in pain.

The spider probably used all his soothing pheromones on his brother and he
looked at Yan Yan like he was admiring jewellery on the counter, or a new
outfit on the runway, only not seeing him as a person.

A young doctor suggested to cover up the mark, “If the fit between you and
the patient is higher than the fit of the marker, a coverage mark can be
achieved, but there is a risk of failure.”

With this statement made, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly
turned cold.

Xia Pingtian gave a wink to the doctor who made the suggestion and patted
Lu Shangjin’s shoulder.
It was as if there was a dull knife cutting back and forth in Lu Shangjin’s
heart.

It was the degree of fit yet again.

Dazedly, he held the corner of the table to support his body, “Our…degree
of fit is very low.”

The final result was to let Lu Shangjin go back to take care of the patient
first and observe for a period of time. A doctor would then be sent to check
it out.

The young doctor secretly grabbed Xia Pingtian when he left the conference
room and enquired in a whisper, his eyes shining, “Hey, hey, is this that-
that young master Lu who was in the arms business before and is now out
of the game? I have seen their helicopters abroad before. Shit, the flying
eagle badge is very impressive.”

Xia Pingtian put his arm around his shoulder, “Little thing, the coverage
mark you mentioned just now is enough for Lu Shangjin to chop you up a
hundred times. He’s in a bad mood now and doesn’t have time to
acknowledge you.”

The young doctor was still curious, “How low is it really?”

Xia Pingtian couldn’t hold back. He took a look behind him and said like it
was a joke, “75%. It amuses me. I have never heard that 75% of the fit can
be managed together, it’s a matter of life or death. Look at the way Lu
Shangjin looks, how he has become. The whole circle is worried about
him.”

The doctor was stunned, “So low? Then why do they want to get together…
I have never met a couple with such a low degree of fit before.”

“You talk too much. Go wait for me at the office.” Xia Pingtian pinched his
chin and wrapped a hand around the small waist under the white coat,
“Close your mouth tighter for things you shouldn’t talk about.”
It was said that the new goods was an expert in the field of glandular
research, and he was a highly qualified student who came back from
abroad, quite energetic. Fortunately, he hadn’t pissed off Lu Shangjin just
now. Otherwise, this little love would’ve died young.

Lu Shangjin didn’t dare to delay outside for too long. He didn’t find anyone
to take care of Yan Yi, as ordinary nannies simply could not handle the
tantrums when Yan Yi was ill. Senior-ranked bodyguards were only alphas,
which could stimulate Yan Yi’s destructive desire even more.

That said, how many bodyguards were capable of holding down a

rampaging little rabbit now?

The elevator went up from the garage to the first floor. Lu Shangjin pressed
the elevator door button anxiously and he squeezed out just as the doors
opened a crack, not bothering to change his shoes and take off his coat
before running to the storeroom and gently pulling open the closet door.

Yan Yi was nestled into a ball, still sleeping quietly.

Lu Shangjin sat on a small bench used to cushion his feet in the storage
room and gently touched the little rabbit’s tail.

On his way back, his right eye kept twitching, afraid that the little rabbit
had made some big move that would break the sky and earth again. He was
already mentally prepared to see the villa in ruins and had asked his
assistant to arrange for a new house.

He accompanied him quietly.

Now, as long as the little rabbit was well, he was willing to do anything.

Yan Yi twitched in his sleep, his calf suddenly tensing up. The little rabbit’s
face crumpled as he held his calf in a daze, “It hurts…”

Lu Shangjin hurriedly picked him up and held in his arms to support his
cramped calf, pressing and kneading with moderate pressure, while bowing
his head to comfort, “It won’t hurt, it’ll be okay soon, ge is here.”
Yan Yi broke out of his hazy sleep and opened his eyes dazedly, mumbling
repeatedly:

“Ge…”

“Good boy.” Lu Shangjin carried him, “Let’s go eat, let’s go eat

something.”

He hired a cook two days ago, but was kicked out by Yan Yi.

After ordering takeout, Yan Yi overturned everything again and asked for
Lu Shangjin’s phone.

Lu Shangjin handed it to him, and he called the police extremely slowly.

Saying that his alpha was going to poison him with takeout.

Lu Shangjin had no choice but to cook.

Yan Yi’s attitude towards Lu Shangjin was also suddenly even colder and
colder, but at least Lu Shangjin was the only alpha who could get close to
him, as if the emperor had appointed his favourite concubine to serve him.

Lu Shangjin locked all the sharp weapons in the entire villa into the
basement, so the tableware had been replaced with wooden ones.

Carrying Yan Yi, he slightly swayed his body and asked gently, “Yan Yan,
eat some shrimp for dinner to supplement calcium, okay?”

Hearing the word “shrimp”, Yan Yi froze, then he struggled frantically in

Lu Shangjin’s arms. Both his hands were about to lift the table again, but
Lu Shangjin grabbed them and pressed them onto his heart, “Good boy, we
won’t eat shrimp, we won’t eat this. What do you want to eat?”

Yan Yi fell into a daze for a long time, and said he wanted to have winter
melon soup.

“Alright, winter melon soup.” Lu Shangjin held him and lowered his head
to kiss his hair, “Be good and sit for a while, ge will make winter melon
soup for you.”

The good thing was that someone would deliver fresh ingredients every
day. Lu Shangjin rummaged through the refrigerator and actually found a
piece of winter melon wrapped in plastic wrap.

He went through the refrigerator for a while. When he went back to look for
Yan Yi, he was crouched in a ball sitting on a chair. He had broken the
wooden plate on the table and was trying to poke the tip of the wood
through his palm.

“Don’t move!” Lu Shangjin ran over and grabbed the wooden plate and
looked closely at his hands. There was only a red mark on the palm and no
blood.

He took a deep breath and picked up Yan Yi, patting his back, “Baby, don’t
be like this.”

Yan Yi was indifferent and said lightly, “Winter melon soup.”

Lu Shangjin could only carry him to the empty cupboard by the kitchen
counter and glanced at him every now and then, before searching on the
Internet for tutorials on how to make winter melon soup.

The hands that used to carry sniper rifles and tactical daggers looked a little
clumsy slicing up the winter melon.

Once he threw all the pieces of winter melon, which were cut into irregular
shapes, into the boiling water, Lu Shangjin averted his gaze to look after
Yan Yi. Yan Yi was sitting obediently in the cupboard, as if only the small
narrow space could make him feel safe.

After tossing about for over an hour, Lu Shangjin picked up Yan Yi with
one hand and let him sit on his forearm, while putting the winter melon
soup on the table with the other.

“Come Yan Yan, let’s eat.” Lu Shangjin held him to sit on his lap, scooping
up a spoonful and blowing on it to cool, before feeding Yan Yi.
Yan Yi tasted it.

“This is pumpkin soup.”

Lu Shangjin froze for a long time and tasted it himself. Except for putting a
little less salt, the taste was average, but it should be winter melon.

He coaxed softly, “Don’t fuss, baby, it’s winter melon soup.”

Yan Yi raised his round almond eyes, still expressionless in his gaze as he
said softly:

“Then I want to eat pumpkin soup.”

 Chap 53

Lu Shangjin silently put the spoon back into the soup bowl before holding
Yan Yi’s armpits and letting him sit astride his lap.

Yan Yi tilted his head to the side.

“Look at me.” Lu Shangjin held Yan Yi’s face and made him look into his
eyes, “Baby, do you recognize me?”

Yan Yi looked at him with his mouth slightly open, his gaze slack, not
knowing if he was even looking into Lu Shangjin’s eyes.

Feeling his heart ache from Yan Yi’s trance-like appearance, Lu Shangjin
held his back and pulled him forward, kissing the corner of his lips.

Yan Yi lowered his eyelids as his little rabbit ears idly flung towards Lu
Shangjin’s face.

He stared at the ring on Lu Shangjin’s left hand and froze for a moment,
whispering to himself, “Lu Shangjin…”

Lu Shangjin’s shoulders perked up. He caressed his back with some

excitement. “It’s me.”

“Lu Shangjin…” Yan Yi covered his little tummy as though he was fending
against sudden pain and hunched his body uncomfortably like a cooked
shrimp. It felt as if a hand was pressing desperately on his stomach.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry baby.” Lu Shangjin scooped up the half-cooled winter
melon soup and fed it to him, “We’ll go upstairs to rest after eating.”
Yan Yi suddenly lifted his eyelashes, revealing a deeply wounded look. He
suddenly raised his hand to knock the spoon out of Lu Shangjin’s hand and
lifted the bowl of soup.

The soup splattered onto the floor as the wooden bowl rolled a few meters
away in solitude.

“I don’t like Lu Shangjin.” Yan Yi got down from Lu Shangjin, who was
frozen in place, before heading back to the storage room to look for the
closet.

Lu Shangjin remained silent in the chair for a while. He then lit a cigarette,
finishing it in a few puffs, before squatting down to clean up the scattered
dishes and soup on the floor.

The closet in the storage room was closed tightly. Yan Yi nestled within and
felt around inside the pillow, pulling out a phone with a little bit of battery
life left.

He scrolled through Weibo in boredom.

Yuan Mi, who was the only celebrity he followed, recently posted an
announcement. It was a picture of a marriage certificate with an alpha, and
also another picture with two people in it.

Yan Yi recalled carefully for a long time and vaguely remembered that he
had once hated this person.

His fingertips touched the picture of the marriage certificate repeatedly

before saving it to his photo album.

A screenshot of a video call was saved in the photo album. It was of an

alpha wearing a cross-neck bathrobe, smiling gently at the camera.

“Lu Shangjin…” Yan Yi held his phone and looked at it for a very, very
long time. The alpha had profound eyebrows and eyes. He had touched it
countless times, but now he had forgotten the reason why.

His head hurt terribly.

After the paralyzing toxins wore off, all the memories, both disoriented and
vivid, flooded into his head. He once again remembered some of the
agonizing memories that would haunt him for the rest of his life.

The humble love of that omega in his mind.

Lu Shangjin pressed the omega underneath him from behind, forcibly

pinning him against the french window, guiding him with a deep, sexy
voice in his ear, “Bend your waist a little more, ass up, spread your legs.”

The omega put his hands on the glass and closed his eyes, trying to console
himself with deception. This place was so isolated, no one would see the
look of him being held down at the waist by the man in the suit behind him.

Lu Shangjin reached out and lifted his jaw, ordering in a low voice, “Open
your eyes.”

The omega shivered slightly. Lu Shangjin’s right hand reached in front of

him, fiercely clutching the white and slender neck until the omega couldn’t
help but clutch his neck with both hands, trying to break the iron clamps
that were making him suffer in suffocation, “…Xiansheng, I…can’t
breathe…”

The powerful alpha’s scent enveloped him. As an omega who had no fight
against such an oppressive scent, he shivered and supported himself against
the glass window, his trembling legs barely holding up the weight of his
body.

Lu Shangjin looked at him in a vile manner as he weakly begged for mercy,

looking at his tears and restlessness. Time and again, he crudely suppressed
him with the alpha’s innate domineering scent and gently kissed the soft
rabbit ears that couldn’t help but droop down, stroking the root of his fluffy
tail.

The submissive gene of the omega made him really like being obedient to
Lu Shangjin in his heart, but because Lu Shangjin didn’t love him anymore,
he suffered terribly every time he entered.
Even so, he still wanted to have Lu Shangjin as his alpha.

Yan Yi extended his hand towards him, trying to pull the omega who was
suffering to his side as he watched him sadly, “No—come here, stupid
rabbit.”

Lu Shangjin kissed the glands at the back of the omega’s neck, the sweet
scent of the milk-candy pheromones softly seducing him. He couldn’t resist
kissing the back of his neck.

Voice choking and trembling, the omega said absent-mindedly as another

thrust came, “Xiansheng, bite it, mark me, let me be your omega…”

Instead, Lu Shangjin kissed his lips and blocked all his words back into his
mouth, kissing him with his skillful tongue until the omega became hard
again, wearily kneeling by the french window and waiting for him to come
in again.

Lu Shangjin lit a cigarette and took a drag, slowly exhaling out a mouthful
of white mist. At the next moment, the cigarette butt, which was still
flicking with sparks, was pressed against the omega’s thigh.

Even when pierced by machine gun bullets, it was not as painful as being
burned by this little faint spark. Because it was Lu Shangjin, he didn’t dare
evade it.

“Stop it…” Yan Yi knelt down and blocked the skin of the omega’s legs
with his hands, desperately trying to protect him from being burned, “Don’t
endure it anymore…there’s no end to it.”

The omega’s tail trembled with pain, confined in Lu Shangjin’s arms and
prohibited from moving around. The red hot end of the cigarette on his pale
skin gave off a burning smell. The omega’s eyes filled with tears, twitching
as he apologized and begged for mercy, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Xiansheng, I
was wrong!”

Lu Shangjin threw the cigarette butt and kissed the soft rabbit ears,
instructing in a low voice, “My apologies for causing you pain, but now
you’re just a butler in my house. I hope you don’t forget again that I hate
questions about marking.”

“Yes…” The omega knelt on the cold hard floor. Hearing his phone ring, Lu
Shangjin took the call and threw the condom in front of the omega before
walking out of the office.

“It’s too tight, I can’t use it. Go and get a suitable one, then take some
medicine so you don’t give me any trouble.”

After the office door shut coldly, the omega curled up in exhaustion on his
side and laid on the floor. He struggled to pick up the torn yet unused
condom and put it away in the pocket of the suit thrown on the floor. He
then got up, put his clothes on and took the car keys home.

There were band-aids in the car, and he tore one off to put it on the burn
mark on his thigh.

Yan Yi knew that he had always put a box of band-aids in his car.

Because lop-eared rabbits were fragile and easily injured, and his alpha
would always hurt him carelessly.

He tried hard to pick out the meaning of the heartache in Lu Shangjin’s

eyes.

Yan Yi grabbed the omega’s collar and asked sadly, “What’s wrong with
you…don’t you know how to love yourself?”

The omega paused, knitted his brows and smiled. He gently interlocked his
fingers with Yan Yi’s right hand, their wedding rings colliding, “I love
him…I’m waiting for him to come back and love me.”

“Will I be able to wait? Actually I’m…a little tired.” That rabbit omega
smiled at him wearily.

Yan Yi forcefully pressed on the sharp pain in his temples, trying to prevent
the unbearable memories from awakening, “No…that’s not me, that’s not
me…”
The omega in his memory was so lowly and humble that it scared him. He
couldn’t wait to break into his memory and shoot himself in the head at that
time, when he had been accommodating for the sake of what was best.

Yan Yi buried his head under the pillow and shivered. It seemed like the
pair of forearms was entwining around his waist in a tightening hold again,
firmly pressing on his stomach as blood dripped from between his legs,
causing a terrifying pain in his heart and lower abdomen.

“…Don’t come near me…I’m not…” Yan Yi rolled in the closet with his
head in his arms, “Don’t remember it…”

When he opened his eyes, he was panicked to see Shao Wenjing’s hands
wrapped around his wrists, the pupils of his eyes shining with metallic
luster as he licked his lips and smiled, “The A3 gland really is strong.”

Lu Lin was also grabbing his ankles and smiled darkly at him, “It’s
inducing the differentiation of limb regeneration, you should succeed in it,
endure it a little…”

Yan Yi hit the closet wall with a thud and fell out with his head down first.

He suddenly fell into a warm embrace.

Lu Shangjin caught him from underneath and smoothly carried the little
rabbit up. He touched his arm comfortingly and whispered in his ear,
“Don’t be afraid, ge is here.”

Yan Yi looked at him absently, his cheeks stained with tears.

“Don’t cry anymore, don’t think about anything anymore, I’ve sent
someone to buy pumpkins, eat some later.” Lu Shangjin held him as he
wiped his tears.

Yan Yi curled up in Lu Shangjin’s arms and grasped his collar tightly, his
nose flared nervously and his dark pupils trembled.

“Why didn’t you mark me…I’m not afraid…not afraid of gland hunters, not
afraid of Lu Lin…I’m A3…PBB’s strongest lop-eared rabbit, I don’t need
your…hypocritical protection…”

“You…hit me…so hard…say that—you’re tired of me and you hate me…

say it, tell me quickly.”

He was afraid.

This look broke Lu Shangjin’s heart.

“I was blinded by the degree of fit, I was being vain, I was seeking
pleasure, I’m not sick of you…but I really can’t mark you right now.” Lu
Shangjin held him tightly, making a gesture of a gentle small bite on the
side of the little rabbit’s neck, leaving a faint imprint.

The little rabbit suddenly went quiet and looked down, trying hard to see
the mark as he touched it carefully.

The mark on Yan Yi’s glands had already been washed away once. Even if
there was an alpha with a high degree of compatibility fit, it might not cover
it successfully. His glands simply couldn’t bear to be tossed around with
tests that had unknown results.

The assistant had just brought in the pumpkin, when Lu Shangjin stroked
his hair, “Wait for me, I’ll be back soon.”

He then took advantage of the space of time while Yan Yi’s spirit was
temporarily stabilized to pick up the pumpkin delivered by the assistant.

Yan Yi sat quietly in the storage room.

After waiting for a while, he suddenly smiled faintly and lightly swayed his
legs, lowering his head and carefully touching the faint teeth marks on his
neck.

Just to comfort him temporarily, Lu Shangjin had gently bit him as a mark.

The closet was facing a mirror. Yan Yi stumbled and jumped out, trembling
as he walked over to it.
The faint teeth marks on his neck had disappeared.

The warmth on Yan Yi’s face had also slowly faded in temperature.

The cold and indifferent voice in his ear lingered, “Our compatibility fit is
so low, Yan Yan, so low…”

“Yan Yan…”

Lu Shangjin came back with a small pumpkin in his hand, intending to

carry Yan Yi to the kitchen. As he pushed open the door of the storage
room, his hands shook with surprise.

Yan Yi was sitting in the closet, holding a gun in his hand, which he had
hidden from who knew where, with the muzzle pointed to his glands.

The little pumpkin rolled away from his feet.

“Bang!”

Without a silencer, the gunshot was deafening.

“Yan Yan-!!!” His accompanying ability “seize” instantly consumed all of

Lu Shangjin’s glandular energy. He grabbed Yan Yi right out of the closet,
holding him tight and fell to the ground.

A bloody line streaked against the ground.

A stream of thick and sticky plasma flowed out all over along the glands
from the back of his neck, like a pool of blown up red wine.

The gun made a crisp rattling sound when it fell onto the ground. Yan Yi’s
fingers loosened as the corners of his lips lifted slightly in a relieved smile.

When Lu Shangjin regained consciousness, his chest was already soaked

through.

Thinking it was just tears, he reached out a shaking hand to wipe it from
Yan Yi, “Don’t cry… Yan Yan… from now on, ge will really give you
love.”

His hand was bright red when he lifted it.

It all dripped down to his heart, seeping into the cracks, splitting off and
growing like blades. It cut his flesh and blood into pieces.

Lu Shangjin scrambled to stand up while holding him sideways. The little

rabbit in his arms was becoming pale as the blood drained from him, his
weak arms hanging down limply.

It was the assistant that drove them to the hospital.

The whole car seat looked like a murder scene. There was blood
everywhere. Lu Shangjin had a towel pressed tightly on the back of Yan
Yi’s bleeding neck, his whole body covered in sticky blood.

At first, the sweetness of the milk-candy was still entwined with the blood,
but slowly, it grew more faint as the blood overpowered the smell.

“Yan Yan, wake up…” Lu Shangjin kissed Yan Yi’s forehead again and
again, his temperature gradually fading, “Everything’s going to be okay.
When you wake up, I’ll take you home. The house has already been chosen.
I know that you like a view with mountains and water. In the future it’ll just
be us two living together…”

In fact, come to think of it, he did know what the little rabbit liked.

It was only that he had never bothered to take his wishes to heart. There
were always things more important than the little rabbit that he had put first.
He had only ever given Yan Yi endless waiting and empty promises.

He had already improved himself. As long as Yan Yi got better—no, even if

his future was just like this trance-like state, Lu Shangjin would not give
him up again.

Unexpectedly, he couldn’t afford the responsibility he wanted to take on.

The people he wanted to protect had intently left. His beloved father and
partner had chosen to relieve themselves from their pain the same way.

The little rabbit’s ears that once bounced around were also blood-soaked,
his soft rabbit fur was stuck together with sticky plasma, hanging down
helplessly.

Lu Shangjin rubbed his little ears, lowered his head and gave them a kiss.

In the past, Yan Yi liked ear kisses the most.

When he was a teenager, he used to run over to his side cutely to get
pampered and asked him to touch his head, but also to get into his arms for
a kiss on the ear.

The little rabbit’s ears were sensitive and no one was allowed to touch
them. Only when Lu Shangjin kissed him was he willing to fling his little
ears into his palm.

When the stretcher was urgently pushed out towards the hospital door, Xia
Jingtian was in the hall listening to his brother’s lecture.

The oldest of the Xia family had sworn in front of his own father to strictly
watch over his younger brother after he was brought back, and would never
let Jing-zi do any more immoral things that would ruin the family again.
Xia Jingtian leaned against the wall, lazily listening to the lecture.

“That’s more like it.” Xia Pingtian stretched his legs. He leaned right onto
the bench, stopping a small nurse passing by and asked why his new love
interest was not in the office.

In the last three days, he looked for reasons to run to the hospital just to
meet the beauty. Where would you find such a rich master who was so
eager to fawn over someone?

Xia Jingtian snorted lightly, “The upper beam isn’t upright, so the lower
beam is crooked1. You still dare to lecture me.”

The little nurse replied anxiously, “Doctor Zhong came to the emergency
room, he was just sent here. The glands of the lop-eared rabbit omega have
been damaged!”

Startled, Xia Jingtian looked over, following the noise of people barging
into the hospital, and caught a glance of the stretcher where Yan Yi laid.

It was like a dream, he could barely react.

A group of nurses and doctors flocked to the stretcher and rushed into the
emergency room. Lu Shangjin ran after the stretcher with his head down,
grabbing Yan Yi’s hand and looking over at him sorrowfully.

The emergency room doors closed in sight, families were kept outside.

The assistant ran to help him, but was pushed away violently. There was
nothing he could do but stand aside and watch his boss kneel on the floor
tiles, motionless and lost in thought, staring at the lights that came on
during the resuscitation.

Xia Pingtian froze, “This… morning, everything was fine…”

Something nudged his shoulder. Xia Jingtian shoved past him and grabbed
Lu Shangjin’s collar in his grip, his hand winding up into a punch.
“You fucking brought him back just to kill him, why the fuck was I so blind
to send you the location—?!”

In order to stop Yan Yi from shooting the gun, Lu Shangjin had exhausted
the energy of his glands, and Xia Jingtian’s punch was filled with his J1
ability. With a muffled sound, Lu Shangjin’s back hit the wall, his left cheek
swelling up.

He raised his hand and touched the corner of his lips, his fingertips wet with
blood.

He grabbed Xia Jingtian’s wrist and said in a hoarse voice, “Get the hell out
of here, I don’t want to watch a child.” His eyes hadn’t left the emergency
room for a second.

“Calm down.” Xia Pingtian came over in a hurry to separate the two,
shooting Xiao Jing-zi a glance to ask him to stand aside.

Xia Jingtian straightened his neck, his face flushed bright red like a roaring
lion cub.

He could feel the attraction from Yan Yi’s body, it was so strong that his
struggle to break free of the attraction disappeared.

Like the sudden release of handcuffs and shackles, this feeling of

powerlessness and freedom was by no means what an inhibitor could
achieve. The only possibility was that the glands on the back of Yan Yi’s
neck, which he had a fit of over 90% with, were gone.

For a fragile omega, the damage to his glands was a serious injury he dared
not think about.

“Mr. Lu.” Dr. Zhong withdrew his usual cheerful face and handed him a
life-threatening notice. “The bullet cut across the gland and damaged the
nerve tissue at the root. Please mentally prepare yourself for this.”

“What is the meaning of this? Will he die? WILL HE DIE?!” Lu Shangjin

threw Xia Pingtian aside and grabbed Dr. Zhong’s collar, his bloodshot eyes
almost bursting at the corners, “Are you even a doctor? Can you not fix this
little wound? If he comes out covered, I will have you…”

Dr. Zhong was an omega. He was weaker in both size and strength, in the
end it was still Xia Pingtian who deescalated the tension.

Lu Shangjin grabbed onto Dr. Zhong’s sleeve, the ends of his words became
pleading, “Save him, no matter the cost, however many resources, I can
afford it all… save him…”

Dr. Zhong could only say that he would do his best and pushed Lu
Shangjin’s hand away as he hurried back to the emergency room.

The glandular department at An Fei Ya Hospital was arguably world-class.

If there was nothing they could do, Lu Shangjin had no glimmer of hope
trying his luck at a better hospital.

Xia Jingtian closed his eyes and sat down on the bench, rubbing his face to
keep himself awake.

“”To be honest, I’m really not surprised it ended up like this. I just couldn’t
imagine that you could be ruthless to this extent.” Xia Jingtian’s eyes
rippled with a layer of water.

“He shot himself right when I was away. If I hadn’t taken him out, he would
have shot through his own neck.” Lu Shangjin’s expression was numb,
there was no light in his eyes, “I really didn’t do anything, I want to take
care of him, I want him to get better.”

“Sure, you didn’t do anything, your prodigal son returns your deep
affections. Yan Yi’s diary is full of his paranoia.” How Lu Shangjin felt like
he had done nothing wrong left Xia Jingtian absolutely speechless.

From his pocket, he took out the old notebook and threw it in front of Lu
Shangjin.

As if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, Lu Shangjin
picked up the old notebook at his feet, holding it like an expensive silk gold
foil.

At some point, he loosened his hand and the notebook fell open by his feet
to a page on which was written::

“Take you home. +112 points”

On this day, the proud son of the peregrine falcon family, the young master
of the Lu family, knelt at the door of the resuscitation room and cried
especially hard.

Only after midnight did the noise gradually die down.

Lu Shangjin’s had an IV in his hand and an energizer stuck next to his

glands, the old notebook clutched in hand as he stayed up alone in the quiet,
empty corridor.

For them to have come to this point, it was all because of him.

He had broken his own rose with his own hands, and yet wondered why it
was withering.

Even if the consequences were unbearable, he had to bear it, even if Yan Yi
really decided to leave, leaving him to suffer alone in this world.

In just one year, his loved ones left him, one after another. His extreme
panic was followed by almost complete emptiness and confusion, and there
were always moments when he forgot where he was, whether the rabbit was
waiting for him to come home to take him out of the closet.

Xia Jingtian spent half the night on the rooftop in a daze.

Their family had opened the hospital for so many years, all the births and
deaths that happened here were only like passing clouds. They all passed
through in a day or two.

Life hung by a thread. Life and death were so uncertain. Their hearts longed
for the person in the resuscitation room, but they had no idea whether they
were waiting for a living person or a dead body. That was a taste more
potent than wine.

It was a pity he didn’t even have the right to wait outside the door. Other
people had families, even if they were a jerk. What was he, if not even
qualified to sign his name on the critical illness notice.

He tossed and turned into the middle of the night, his thoughts still a
jumble. His heart hurt vaguely as he silently hung on to the worrying
thought, not daring to say anything.

Dr. Zhong was an expert in glandular research and the awakening biology
of the plant “Qingfeng”, J1 and M2 differentiation were the emergence of
therapeutic abilities. The cure rate of his patients was far above average.

Xia Jingtian restrained himself from thinking about it for the moment.
There must be results tomorrow.

His fingers swiped back and forth between apps on his phone. At this time,
there weren’t many friends to chat with.

There was actually someone posting to their stories. After clicking it open,
it was a screenshot of a live performance of them holding a guitar and
singing, with the caption: “Boss Gu is still as handsome as fireworks
today.”

With a handsome face, he randomly picked up a tight vest with holes in it

and deliberately lifted it up to reveal the corner of his abs. A thin silver
chain hung around his neck, and on the chain was a ring.

Xia Jingtian zoomed in on the picture to look at the ring. At first he thought
that boss Gu had made omega friends, but after a careful look at the ring, he
noticed the engraved “GW” initials. It was his own name.

Xia Jingtian clicked on it with a smooth movement, and commented

casually, “That’s flashy.”

Boss Gu replied immediately, “Sell art, not your body.”

It seemed as though the bar had just closed. Gu Wei was free and asked,
“What’s up?”

Xia Jingtian’s heart was clogged even more.

“Your former employee is being resuscitated in my hospital.”

At 5 A.M., the doors of the emergency room were pushed open.

Hearing even just a bit of noise, Lu Shangjin immediately looked up and

saw Yan Yi being pushed out. He hastily stripped off the needles in his
hands and next to his glands before running over to follow the stretcher.

“Yan Yan…” Lu Shangjin’s weary face finally showed a hint of comfort.

Yan Yi was quiet and gentle while he slept, just that his face was white like
a piece of delicate porcelain eggshell.

Xia Jingtian stood in the distance and leaned on the window frame. He
gently let down his heart that was hanging in his throat.

Lu Shangjin followed them all the way to the intensive care unit, but was
stopped outside again. He gently grabbed Yan Yi’s hand, but it still slipped
off, and the ring that the little rabbit had worn for years without removing
fell into his hand.

At that moment, Lu Shangjin was surprised to see the tiny tattoo on his ring
finger.

“everlastinglove”.

“I’ll only look at him for a bit!” Lu Shangjin held open the door and refused
to leave, “He must be so scared, I won’t touch him, just let me see…”

He once got tired of playing with this omega whom he didn’t even bother to
look at, but he was actually the person he most wanted to spend his life with
and spoil. He had failed too much, so much that he couldn’t think of a
fitting punishment for his crimes.
The sound of rushed footsteps travelled through the corridor, and a set of
strong alpha hands pressed on Lu Shangjin’s shoulders. All ten fingers
extended and grew into pitch black vines, wrapping around Lu Shangjin’s
body like a dumpling and dragging him out of the ICU.

“Still clinging to the ICU, hurry out, save some face.”

The black wooden vines retracted back into their fingertips and went back
to the original color of skin. Bi Ruijing fixed his cufflinks,“Ping-zi told me
everything. You really gave us a long face. If it weren’t for An Fei Ya here,
you would be on the front page of the news this morning. What has the
doctor said?”

Dr. Zhong walked over. Lu Shangjin immediately looked up to meet him.

“The patient’s glandular roots are completely damaged. They are unable to
regenerate and heal themselves. If we rely on glandular energon life
support, this could drag on for up to a week.”

Lu Shangjin’s eyes went black as he staggered two steps and froze for a
moment. He then sat down on the bench, seemingly paralyzed as if out of
strength, “There’s no way at all?”

Dr. Zhong presented a scenario.

“With our current situation right now, there is only one method we can try
—glandular transplant. But considering the success rate, we need to use
homoglandular stem cells with our existing technology to clone and
regenerative transplant.”

“Homoglandular?”

Both Lu Shangjin and Bi Ruijing were silent.

Xia Jingtian looked at them oddly, “The lop-eared rabbit glandular type…is
very common right? They have them there in the donation library.”

Dr. Zhong frowned, “The transplanted stem cell gland type must be the
same A3 lop-eared rabbit as the patient, or lop-eared rabbit glandular stem
cells with A3 differentiation potential.”

“A…” Xia Jingtian choked for a moment, staring at his brother in surprise.

The A3 grade glands already had a very small chance of mutation. Most
likely the only A3 lop-eared rabbit in the world was lying in the ICU.

Lu Shangjin suddenly stood up.

“I’ll go find it.”

Bi Ruijing’s face darkened, “You get back here.”

Lu Shangjin turned a deaf ear to him.

Xia Jingtian shrugged off his brother and ran out the hospital following Lu
Shangjin, who was rummaging through the trunk.

He slowed his pace and asked in a low voice, “Where can we find it?”

Lu Shangjin assembled an AWM, hit the side of his car hard with the butt of
his rifle, and buttoned up tightly.

“PBB.”

The Pacific Biodifferentiation Base.

The muzzle of the gun was caught in a roll by three to five pitch black vines
and was yanked out of Lu Shangjin’s hand.

Bi Ruijing took the sniper rifle in his hand and pointed the muzzle at Lu
Shangjin’s collarbones, pushing him hard, “Shut up, shut your eyes, take
two breaths to catch your breath and then talk to me.”

Lu Shangjin didn’t do so. His hands hung helplessly by his sides; clenching
his teeth and loosening up a little, his gums hurt. His eyes were red and
swollen.

“He only has one week left.” A thin layer of sweat seeped from Lu
Shangjin’s forehead as he asked hoarsely, “Who would save him if I don’t?”

Xia Jingtian interjected at the right time, “What about his parents? They
might match his glandular type.”

At the mention of Yan Yi’s parents, Lu Shangjin’s clenched fists loosened

weakly.

“He doesn’t have parents. He is just an experimental subject produced by

cloning and differentiation of lop-eared rabbit cells.”

Under the command of Lu Lin, the PBB lab mass-produced living fighting
machines and screened out the strong from the batches of failed
experiments, abbreviated as a Pyramid Scheme.

When Lu Shangjin was ten years old, he mistakenly entered the

underground laboratory of the old Lu family residence.
At a glance, he recognized the little rabbit who was eavesdropping outside
the piano room.

The lab was filled with a pungent, fishy stench. The little rabbit trembled as
he climbed down from the mountain of cloned experimental corpses, his
body stained with blood. Eyes quivering in fear, he extended his hands
towards Lu Shangjin.

Lu Shangjin ran to pick him up and carried the young lop-eared rabbit out
of the bloody laboratory, not minding the dirty, smelly blood on his body as
he squeezed him under a blanket. He huddled together with the little rabbit,
their heads covered, only then did they remember that they were afraid.

The two children trembled in each other’s arms, not daring to make a sound
as they cried, tears running down their faces silently in the dark.

He was three years older than the little rabbit. Forcing himself to appear
like an older brother, he caressed Yan Yi’s shrinking body with his small
hands, “I got your back.”

Yan Yi squeezed desperately into Lu Shangjin’s arms, crying with hiccups

as he said thank you gege repeatedly. His thin, weak arms wrapped tightly
around him, as though grabbing onto him was like grabbing onto the sun.

“The underground freezer at PBB has a high-grade stem cell bank. All PBB
members above the M2 grade have been sampled.” Lu Shangjin clutched
the muzzle of the gun, his dry and cracked lips opened and closed, “Help
me take care of Yan Yi for a few days.”

Bi Ruijing and Xia Pingtian were both members of PBB and had serial
numbers on their bodies. Invading the base without permission would be
automatically stamped as a defection, and their serial numbers would enter
the assassination elimination blacklist.

Xia Jingtian raised his chin slightly, as if deep in thought.

Dr. Zhong came over to let Lu Shangjin leave his contact information so he
could contact him to visit when the patient’s condition was stable.
Lu Shangjin spent an hour outside the ICU and asked for a pen and paper to
write seven notes, dated for the next seven days. He folded them up and
gave them to his assistant. If Yan Yi didn’t wake up, then read one to him
every day.

He wanted to let the little rabbit know that he was not abandoned.

Lu Shangjin left his assistant to take care of him before driving back to the
villa. The streets were dimly lit along the way, the wind at dawn becoming
an ear-piercing noise.

Yan Yi’s notebook was inserted in his front chest pocket, pressed close to
his heart, so as to engrave the little rabbit’s complaints and emotions into
his heart.

After returning to the villa, Lu Shangjin walked into the deepest part of the
underground garage and opened the iris-access lock, then entered a row of
passwords.

Mechanical sounds came from inside the enclosed space as the ​automatic
weapon filling system activated.

Lu Shangjin took the elevator up to the workroom on the third floor where
sixteen computers were running in the computer room.

He typed out a line of passwords and knocked on the mic.

The sixteen computers projected 3D images one after another in the

workroom. Several company executives wearing the Flying Eagle group
logo on their chests were fully dressed to accept Lu Shangjin’s meeting
request from different locations.

“President Lu.”

“Good morning, president Lu.”

……
It took nearly an hour to check and delegate the authorization of all aspects
of the company’s matters. After the meeting ended, Lu Shangjin sent an
email to the board of directors and then destroyed the confidential
information in the computers. He then locked the copied version into an
underground safe and finally, cut off the power supply to the workroom.

After the weapons auto-fill was completed, the lifting platform

automatically sent the ammunition and firearms to the rooftop of the top
floor. Lu Shangjin changed into a camouflage armed suit and loaded the
guns and ammunition onto the helicopter.

It was better not to use these things. Once engaged in a fight with PBB, it
would not end well. If worst comes to worst, so what if he becomes
blacklisted from going to rob them.

If he could change the circumstances to Yan Yi waking up, it’d be better for
the little rabbit to forget him and not remember anything. He was willing to
lead a vagrant life for him as compensation for the years of wasted time.

A helicopter painted with the peregrine family emblem roared into the air,
the powerful air currents blowing the garden shrubs in all directions.

With the helicopter on autopilot, Lu Shangjin loosened the tense strings in

his head as he occasionally glanced at Yan Yi’s notebook.

He flipped through page by page. A point was reduced one at a time with
his broken heart, but several points were added back when he was happy
but trivial things of note.

A piece of printed paper was stuck inside; he was perhaps afraid of losing it
if it was stored in his phone. It was a densely compacted reprint of chat
records.

A whole page of trivial sweet talk.

Reading down the dates, the first one was sent when Yan Yi was lying on
the bed and trying to send a message to Lu Shangjin after he bought the first
cell phone in his life.
Yan Yi: I love Jin ge.

Darling: Silly, we’re now less than half a meter apart

Yan Yi: Can you send me more texts in the future.

Darling: I’ll send when I can’t see you, now come here and give me a kiss

Yan Yi: haha.

Later, Yan Yi learned to use emojis, which made him act cute even more.

The little rabbit was originally a cute little thing, and a little more cuteness
simply melted his heart.

Afterwards, his own notes changed from “darling” to “Jin ge”, and the chat
records were not followed up from 2016.

Perhaps the rabbit had also been looking forward to receiving a message
that would make his heart palpitate with excitement.

The score on the notebook was calculated to have nearly six hundred points.
The last time he had added points, he wrote “Jin ge is really good looking in
the video call. + 10 points.”

There was no content after, probably because he brought Yan Yi back home
and he didn’t have this notebook with him.

He suddenly grabbed his own collar and pulled hard, feeling a sense of
panic stuck in his heart that he couldn’t swallow or spit out.

In Yan Yi’s heart, how many points did he lose from personally forcing him
to deal with the fake pregnancy?

Reduced to zero?

Or a negative?

Or an unforgivable negative infinite number?

He held on to a glimmer of hope that when Yan Yi woke up, he would be
able to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes.

Lu Shangjin put the photos and chat records in the notebook before putting
it back in his inner pocket and zipping it up.

He suddenly caught a slight sound and snapped his head around.

He saw Xia Jingtian sitting on the folding board, putting on a bulletproof

vest as he said, “You look just as calm facing death as they do in the
movies.”

Lu Shangjin didn’t cover up the expression of seeing a fly in his eyes, his
eyebrows slightly raised, “How did you come up?”

“Gravity manipulation, my J1 ability is very practical.” Xia Jingtian crossed

his legs and loaded the camouflage M16 in his arms before putting on his
headset, “I guess you must have been concentrating on the notebook when I
was picking my way under the helicopter.”

Lu Shangjin turned his head, “Get lost at the next landing point.”

Xia Jingtian frowned, “If you die, I’ll get the sample back for you, I’ll take
care of Yan Yi for you and I’ll stop arguing with you if you come back
alive, you dare to bet?”

Lu Shangjin asked, “Does your brother know?”

“Hmm…” Xia Jingtian leaned his hands against the vertical wall, “He
knows.”

Bullshit.

Near the landing point, Lu Shangjin swung in another direction, trying to

get Xia Jingtian down.

Xia Jingtian snapped his fingers. His direction of his own force of gravity
had always been perpendicular to the helicopter, and with a centrifugal
force returning to zero, he sat firmly on the folding board.
Lu Shangjin already did not have enough heart to give to someone else’s
child anymore.

“What are you going to do? How will the two of us single out the PBB elite
armed force? If you run into an A3 alpha, it’s game over, is there any A3
alpha in PBB?” Xia Jingtian opened a PBB map that he got through his
brother’s authority, “I heard that Lu Lin is in the PBB lab. If you ask him
directly, will he give it? “

Lu Shangjin had also thought about it.

However, A3 glandular stem cell samples are precious. For Lu Lin, the
experiments with damaged glands have already completely lost their value.
The probability was that he would not waste samples to save a lop-eared
rabbit omega that may not be saved.

On the contrary, he would guard all the samples closely in order to guard
against Lu Shangjin.

The best way was to sneak in and steal the sample. Even if they exchanged
fire with a small number of people, as long as they evacuate in time before
being surrounded by security forces, it would be enough to get out.

It had been a day since the helicopter hovered over the vast ocean.

Lu Shangjin checked the equipment and took a look at the lion cub who
was itching to go. If this was not Xia Pingtian’s own little brother, who was
precious in his eyes, he wouldn’t say a single word more of nonsense.

Bulletproof and waterproof glass barriers raised around the helicopter as it

hollowed out, the propellers moved back along the track. The front end
elongated and thinned, and was inserted straight into the water.

The transformed submarine quickly approached the submarine base and

hovered behind the reef several meters away from the entrance of the
submarine channel.
Xia Jingtian picked up an oxygen mask and was suddenly strangled by Lu
Shangjin from behind, stabbing a tube of anesthetic into his neck.

Lu Shangjin loosened his grip and Xia Jingtian fell unconscious at his feet.

This kid must have run out without parental permission. If he brought him
back with one finger missing, his brother would tear down his house and
destroy his company, and would kill every one surnamed Lu that he meets
in the future.

It’s really worrying. It’d be better to have an omega for a son or daughter in
the future. If such a worrying little alpha is born, he would die from anger if
not from illness.

Besides, he didn’t need a young rival as a partner.

Lu Shangjin gently put his hand on his chest. The notebook in the inner
water barrier bag was pressed against his heart. His gaze was gentle and
longing, hiding the sorrowful grief deep in the pupils of his eyes.

Yan Yan.

Our future child will look a lot like you, right.

He collected his train of thoughts and squeezed out of the transformed

submarine.

Lu Shangjin had some external authority rights, so opening the entrance

was easily done and no alarms were triggered.

After he passed through the three water barriers, he followed the spiral
staircase to find a suitable commanding height.

Xia Jingtian suddenly laid beside him and carefully scouted all directions.

Lu Shangjin glanced at him sideways in bewilderment, his expression cold

and complicated.
“Gravity manipulation can control the blood pressure, the anesthetic can’t
enter.” Xia Jingtian asked in a low voice as he detected, “There’s a patrol
ahead, can you bird of prey alphas fly?”

“There’s a chance that this accompanying ability will appear when you
upgrade to A3 differentiation.” Meaning it can’t.

Lu Shangjin squinted his eyes, and the patrol team was evenly positioned in
his view. He quickly drew a three-dimensional map of the region in his
mind.

Xia Jingtian shook his wrist:

“I’ll take care of the left side.”

“Do not engage in cross fire with them until necessary.” Lu Shangjin
stuffed him with a tube of injection, rolled up his sleeve and gave him a
shot. “Hurry up.”

“What is this?”

“My dad’s blood serum.”

A chameleon omega gland serum. After injecting this, thermal sensation,

gait detection and monitors can be shielded, but not the human eye.

Xia Jingtian was stunned for a moment before sharply giving himself a
shot.

“The effect can only last for an hour, so you must pass through the three
probe doors leading to the underground freezer within half an hour.” Lu
Shangjin put on the finger-piercing gloves with the anaesthesia needles
attached and effortlessly flipped down the stairs, “Go and turn the patrol
away towards the left, I’ll open the door.”

“Copy that~” Xia Jingtian pursed his lips and tapped his headset before
flipping down the steps of the high platform from the other direction and
landed silently, like a big cat foraging for food.

Lu Shangjin pressed his temples and raced closer to the heat-sensitive

detection door.
To avoid the patrol attracted by Xia Jingtian’s movement, Lu Shangjin pried
the front cover of the access combination lock open and gently opened the
line of route. He enabled his J1 ability “extreme vision” so that the pupil of
his right eye will be concentrated, and then he used the precision
microneedle to remove several tiny contacts.

The detection door slowly rose to the top before closing immediately. Lu
Shangjin closed the cover of the access lock and walked in.

As the probe door became less than half a meter close to the ground, Xia
Jingtian rolled in. He got up and adjusted his body armor, “Hey, were you
gonna shut me out?”

“It’s really dangerous inside.” Lu Shangjin frowned, and continued to walk

on.

On the right was a whole row of sealed laboratories, and on the left was a
neatly organized line of open grids with about a dozen turns.

A foul smell permeated the corridor.

Xia Jingtian swept a glance behind them as Lu Shangjin crouched down to

solve the second combination lock.

A sound of metal scraping the ground was slowly approaching. Suddenly

alert, Xia Jingtian turned around immediately and picked up the loaded
M16 before squatting down, but there wasn’t a person to be seen in all four
directions.

“Hurry up, I think someone’s coming.” The tips of Xia Jingtian’s fingers
began to sweat.

Lu Shangjin’s right eye glowed with a translucent blue transient film from
frequent use, his fingertips delicately picked at the fine needle reaching
inside the line, whispering, “I’m already going really fast.”

The sound of scraping metal disappeared, but the sense of danger nearby
did not. Xia Jingtian relaxed his breath, put his finger on the trigger and
licked his lips, “If we have a crossfire with PBB, then what?”

“Your glandular pheromone DNA will be blacklisted and glandular hunters

around the world will be able to get your bounty notice, and until death is
confirmed you will have to run in every corner.”

Lu Shangjin was still focused on unlocking the combination, “Do you

regret this?”

“As my ge said, death under the peony.” Xia Jingtian let out a breath of air,
carefully listening for any noise around them.

Lu Shangjin didn’t reply.

But he felt that his brother didn’t mean it like that.

The slight metal dragging across the ground began to slowly approach
again.

Tap, tap.

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, like a dormant approaching beast,

wandering beyond the sight of its prey.

Lu Shangjin also picked up on the sound, a layer of sweat forming on the

tip of his fingers. He couldn’t go any faster with his unlocking actions as
the slightest carelessness will set off the alarm.

“He’s here.” Xia Jingtian clenched his jaw, his T-shirt that clung to the body
armor was soaked in cold sweat and stuck to his spine.

Something in the shadows at the end of the corridor approached the two,
and suddenly, a steel claw was exposed to the light.

Immediately afterwards, it stepped out and let out a low growl.

It was a semi-mechanical dog wearing a tempered glass sheath on the back

of its neck, half-German Shepherd, with specially made mechanical limbs
and jaws.
The tempered glass shield at the back of its neck was filled with culture
fluid in which an individually isolated human gland was slowly pulsating.

“Fuck me.” Xia Jingtian froze for a moment, “A dog, Lu Shangjin, a dog
Lu Shangjin.”

Opening its sharp steel teeth, the mechanical dog lunged over, right as the
detection door finally started to slowly rise. Lu Shangjin dragged Xia
Jingtian while opening a narrow crack and rolled in. Using ten times the
pull of gravity with his hands, Xia Jingtian pressed down hard on the
detection door and it made a muffled thud against the wall, followed by the
click of the dog’s paws scratching the door right as it clicked shut.

“…” Xia Jingtian’s heart was racing, he let out a breath of relief and turned
around.

Lu Shangjin pulled out silenced pistols from his tactical belt and tossed
them a few times in his palms. He held them against his shoulder straps and
pointed his hands straight ahead.

A dozen of the same mechanical dogs approached, drooling.

“????” Xia Jingtian’s back was pressed up hard against the wall.

“Have you ever fought in real life?” Lu Shangjin asked with a frown.

“Of course.” Xia Jingtian swallowed hard. He raised his M16 and leaned
against Lu Shangjin’s side. “The most recent was last month at an Internet
cafe double-booking with my roommate.”

Listening to that made Lu Shangjin have a headache..

The human gland mounted at the nape of each mechanical dog and
mechanical linkage served as the driving force, and their powerful hind legs
pounced with violent stomps. The meat grinder-like steel teeth lined up in
their mouths were capable of crushing a human thigh with a single bite.

Lu Shangjin raised his hand and shot point-blank, the vicious dog that
pounced on him was hit squarely in the forehead by a bullet and fell in the
opposite direction.

Xia Jingtian’s gun was equipped with a special gravity projectile which
fired at a low speed and was silent. The projectile was infused with the
mountain lion’s characteristic J1 energy. Upon entering his gun, it
immediately intensified the force of gravity by 100 times, leaving the
mechanical dog forcibly sucked down against the ground and unable to get
up.

The broken head of the mechanical dog slowly stood up.

Lu Shangjin took a step back, surprised to see the resurrection of a dozen

dogs on the ground.

“…”

The human glands in the bullet-proof culture shielded behind their necks
pulsated, and then one of the dogs suddenly pounced out violently. Lu
Shangjin turned to avoid it, his forearm catching and strangling its neck.

“Ugh.” Lu Shangjin let out a low painful growl.

A bloody thorn was stabbed out of his forearm. The mechanical dog was
covered in exploding sharp spines, and the mounted culture shield was
actually filled with J1 porcupine alpha glands, the biological characteristics
of which were grafted onto the experimental German Shepherd.

Lu Shangjin struggled to feel out for his pistol, aiming at the culture shield
and fired five times. The glands were broken into pieces and the dog fell off
of him.

Lu Shangjin bit down on the bandage and bound up the wound skillfully,
“The main driving force is the gland.”

At the same time, Xia Jingtian shook off the two semi-mechanical dogs
clinging onto his body, before rolling over and jumping on the experimental
cabinet. He turned back to let out a burst of bullets, aiming at the artificial
glands on the back of the neck.
Lu Shangjin threw away his handguns, stepped alongside on the wall,
climbed with one hand on the steel ceiling diffuser and removed the AWM
from his back. He carried the heavy gun and aimed narrowly at the artificial
glands on the back of the necks of several vicious mechanical dogs.

With each burst, one of the training enclosures broke, incapacitating the
mechanical dogs as the primary driving force was destroyed.

Lu Shangjin loosened his hand and landed on the ground, taking in a breath.

He then crouched down to examine the disjointed bodies.

“A new type of weapon…?” Xia Jingtian flipped over the carcass to

examine further. Broken human glands fell to the ground, both alpha and
omega, at the J1 grade.

“The missing higher-grade omega must have been brought here to be

tested.” Xia Jingtian pressed on his suffocating chest, nausea rushing up
from his feet to his throat.

Lu Shangjin used the muzzle of his gun to move the head of one of the
mechanical dogs’ closed cover and found that the eyes were replaced with
artificial eyes. The pupils were still flashing a monitor electronic shimmer.

“We’ve been found.” Lu Shangjin’s heart dropped.

They were already at the last door, how could they willingly give up now?
If they missed this opportunity, even if they wanted to get the stem cell
sample, it would be as hard as climbing to heaven.

Right now it was a bet between whether Lu Lin’s security forces would get
here first or if he would get in first.

At the same time, the whereabouts of the pair have been installed on the
mechanical dog’s monitor back to Lu Lin’s monitoring platform.

From a swivel chair in the master control room, Lu Lin watched the footage
from the monitors.
He mused a little and pushed a few buttons.

“You’re here. He’ll be very happy now that we’ve reunited as a family.”

Passing through the third detection door into the underground space of
PBB, the huge dome was full of tunnels. Lu Shangjin received the pointing
signal from Bi Ruijing and found a relatively safe path to the freezer.

Xia Jingtian followed behind with his hands in his pockets. Every so often,
he would glance at Lu Shangjin’s forearm pierced by the spikes, hastily
holding it with a hemostatic bandage to keep the dripping blood from
leaving traces on the ground.

Lu Shangjin was expressionless, occasionally reminding Xia Jingtian to

watch his step and not trigger any anti-intrusion lazers.

“It will sever your foot in 0.01 seconds.”

“I don’t have your eyes, how am I supposed to see.” With difficulty, Xia
Jingtian lifted his feet and followed Lu Shangjin wherever he placed his
feet.

Unexpectedly, and without triggering the security system, the door of the
freezer was opened easily.

Lu Shangjin did a quick scan of the interior of the room and the chilly air
hit them.

An endless array of tens of thousands of battery-shaped insulated tubes

were evenly distributed on the freezer table, densely but evenly spaced,
each tube of stem cells labeled with glandular type and rank.

As soon as the pair stepped into the freezer, the secret door behind them
automatically closed.

Xia Jingtian turned around and pulled at the handle, his heart went cold,
“It’s bolted shut.”
Lu Shangjin took a hold onto the control panel and searched for A3 lop-
eared rabbit stem cell samples.

The control panel continuously prompted him to insert a permission card.

“Fuck.” Lu Shangjin hissed through his teeth. He forcefully grabbed a

console and went to manually search through each of the insulated tubes.

“Yan Yan… hurry up and come out.” Lu Shangjin muttered. After searching
over a few thousand, his stressed out eyes burned and he rubbed them. The
tears in his eyes were mixed with streaks of blood.

Xia Jingtian was searching on the other side. Without the extreme vision
that Lu Shangjin had, he had to go through the names one by one.

The only misstep was that not only were there M2 and higher grade of stem
cells in there, but there were a lot of J1 mixed in there as well; there were a
hundred thousand tubes in total.

An A3 flashed in front of his eyes, and Xia Jingtian immediately looked

closer at the label, then the surprise in his eyes went cold again.

“Hamster A3…” Xia Jingtian’s mind flashed a few vague memory

fragments, whispering almost silently, “Name… Pale little ears…”

He suddenly whipped his head back and found Lu Shangjin standing in

front of a testing stand, speechless.

“Found him?” Xia Jingtian ran over. Lu Shangjin stooped down and lifted
out a child from under the test stand.

It was a grey omega bunny, very young, but was dying of hunger and
dehydration.

At the sight of Lu Shangjin, he shrank into a ball of fear, his little grey ears
quivering.

Lu Shangjin held him in his arms, quietly coaxing him while also releasing
soothing pheromones to help him calm down.
The file he had grabbed from the glandular hunter had a picture of this kid
on it.

“Where are the other people?” Lu Shangjin asked patiently, brushing the
little bunny’s hair.

The little grey bunny was comforted by the pets but still shrank into Lu
Shangjin’s arms in fear. In a small voice, he said, “They were killed.
Glands… taken out.”

The child wore a profile bracelet on his wrist with his name and gland type
written on it.

Lop-eared rabbit glandular type, differentiation awakened, differentiation

potential: A3.

Both men looked at each other in astonishment.

While A3 potential doesn’t mean you’ll ever get to A3, it’s definitely a god-
given opportunity.

But taking stem cells from glands was much more damaging than taking
from the bone marrow. Taking stem cells from glands at such a young age
was the equivalent of taking away half of a child’s life, which was now
destined to leave a residue after being offered as a sacrifice.

But this was the best option at the moment. It would take more time to find
Yan Yi from a sample of a hundred thousand than the time it would take to
preserve the troops to annihilate the invaders.

Apparently, Xia Jingtian had the same thought, or perhaps not even thinking
that much at all, but he took the loaded M16 and loaded it, “Take him
away.”

An unfamiliar child in Lu Shangjin’s heart did not excite any ripples of

good thoughts.

But the little grey bunny raised his frightened face and hugged Lu
Shangjin’s neck. He cried and hiccupped, whispering, “Thank you, gege.”
Lu Shangjin suddenly stopped in his steps, a tight and hard string on his
heart was plucked, and it hurt like hell.

“Keep looking.”
 Chap 57

Translated by: Fel

Edited and Proofread by: Jie

The cumbersome monitor equipment in the ICU hummed in the quiet room.

When it came to the permitted visiting time, Lu Shangjin’s assistant quietly

walked in, but there were already visitors inside.

A butterfly omega was sitting in a soft chair beside the bed, wiping Yan Yi’s
palm with a wet towel.

Tan Meng’s two slender antennas extended out from his hair, the tip of
which touched Yan Yi’s brows.

“Hm.” Tan Meng seemed to read something in Yan Yi’s mind. He had his
head down in his notebook to write down notes.

The assistant was stunned for a long time. He then immediately opened
Weibo, opened the photos from it and made a comparison.

“Are you… Mr. Tan Meng?” The assistant could not believe his eyes. His
bookcase at home was filled with several sets of novels by him, who was an
emerging writer of contemporary military novels. He had squatted in front
of a store in order to grab the first signed edition of his new book. A second
before he could make payment, Lu Shangjin called him and crushed his
dreams.

Tan Meng raised a finger and hushed him.

“I’m listening to him tell me a story.” Tan Meng lifted his antennae, hiding
them back in his hair. “I came here to listen to a sorrowful story, but there
are some lovely people who can only remember the good and beautiful
things of the past.”

He was very surprised.

Yan Yi’s memories in his sleep were not those that were bloody and full of
pain, but only consisted of a cycle of the memories he had from when he
was a teenager.

Through Yan Yi’s eyes, he saw the twenty-year old Lu Shangjin, who had
nothing in common with the cool-faced president in his impression, instead
he smiled gently more often.

“If you’re here in place of Lu Shangjin to visit him, then I won’t bother
you.”

Tan Meng tidied up his notebook, and under the assistant’s eager eyes, he
signed his name and tore off the page, handing it to him. His eyes
brightened, “Thanks for liking it.”

The material gathered today was somewhat unexpected. Perhaps a story

about a sweet pair of war lovers could be written out of it.

He heard the assistant whispering the first note left by Lu Shangjin, so he

slowly closed the door.

“Yan Yan, if you can see or hear this note, then I should have managed to
infiltrate inside. If you’ve woken up, you need to know that even if you
give up on yourself, I won’t. So wait for me to come back.”

The words were written frantically but not carelessly.

The assistant read the note word by word, neither quickly nor slowly. These
days his only job was to visit Yan Yi’s care unit, which was equivalent to a
rare vacation.

Ever since the boss had taken over the group, he gave everyone the
impression that he was vigorous, indifferent, and strict. He could not see the
boss being crazy to such an extent for an omega.
The boss knelt in the rescue room crying to the point where others would
have felt sad for him. He had witnessed the days where his boss’s past
indulgences had all converged into a pool of tenderness. His boss had no
childhood. His heart, which was once disguised as a calm and steady bad
boy’s, had now belatedly matured.

Some relationships were simply predestined, perfectly matched, or a

heartfelt love.

The last of which always had more twists and turns.

The assistant folded the note neatly and pressed it under Yan Yi’s hand.

“Fu-ren, I was actually the one who helped the boss to buy that carrot
brooch from before, but I saw him stare at that style for a long time, and
then he scolded me after he took the liberty of buying it.”

“The boss probably knows what you like. Hey, I’m going to put in a good
word for the boss, although it’s even a little against my will.” The assistant
rubbed his hands together and murmured humbly, “You must, must make it
through, otherwise those of us who follow president Lu will never have a
good day.”

The assistant tucked Yan Yi in and walked out softly.

Yan Yi’s breathing was weak but gentle. His fingertips moved slightly,
touching the piece of paper on the corner of his pillow.

The paper was covered with light narcissus pheromones, the subtle soothing
fragrance gathered in the palm of his hand. In his dream, he was seventeen
years old, and he was lifted by the waist to catch a firefly.

Thousands of miles away in the basement of the ocean, Lu Shangjin felt a

tug at his heart.

He held the little grey bunny in his left hand, all the while shuttling between
the endless test tubes, one by one.
Xia Jingtian went along the inner wall to find the exit. When the door had
locked from the outside, the inner wall and the wall became smooth as one,
and there was no assembled line for Lu Shangjin to unlock.

Such a large laboratory required pipes or refrigeration, fresh air, and return
air. Calm down and think carefully about where these systems would have
been arranged in the design of this laboratory.

The ceiling had evenly distributed diffusers to keep the air in the laboratory
clean. Xia Jingtian looked up for a while. From this place they should be
able to climb up to the control room.

When he turned back to look towards Lu Shangjin, he was gone.

“Hello?” Xia Jingtian’s body jolted. He picked up the M16 again and
retreated warily to the corner, moving silently against the wall.

He pressed his earpiece, “Where are you? We must get away now.”

Only a hissing noise came back from the earpiece; Lu Shangjin did not
reply.

“…”

Without a doubt, Xia Jingtian thought that the guy would throw himself out
here.

He felt his way against the wall into the depths of the laboratory, alert to all
the subtle sounds around him.

Hearing a noise up ahead, Xia Jingtian immediately squatted, raised his gun
slanted to the front.

A tube of samples on the test table suddenly toppled over and rolled across
the table.

Xia Jingtian’s chest was heaving. He tried his best to breathe lightly as cold
sweat soaked the palm of his glove.
To be fair, he couldn’t handle a dozen more mechanical dogs on his own.

At the thought of Lu Shangjin’s skilled fighting and observation ability

developed through years of sharing life and death together with Yan Yi, his
heart turned sour.

He only hated that he was born a few years late, missing his bright bloom.

Xia Jingtian held his breath, listening carefully to the change of movements
around him. He vaguely heard heavy breathing sounds coming in and out of
earshot. It seemed that there was another person in this room.

He flicked the recording from his watch and whispered a last message.

“I’m in the basement of PBB right now. Lu Shangjin isn’t here, maybe he’s
even dead. There’s something gasping in here, I can hear it but don’t know
where it’s coming from.”

There was no lighting in the deep part of the laboratory. Xia Jingtian laid
himself flat on the ground and flicked on the flashlight from his cuff. The
light went down the deep area and swept among several test stands.

Pop.

The crisp sound of exploding glass seemed extremely clear in the silent
laboratory. Xia Jingtian immediately turned back and pulled the trigger with
a backhanded shot toward the sound.

In exchange for the bullet came a roar of terror, which was definitely not the
bellowing of pain that a man or a dog could make.

Instantly drenched in cold sweat, Xia Jingtian stood up. His flashlight
flashed across to meet the roar. A huge lizard covered with scales raised its
head with Lu Shangjin stuck in its mouth, blood flowing to the ground like
water.

“What are you doing just standing there? Get out!” Lu Shangjin turned his
head and hollered, both his hands forcibly breaking the lizard’s mouth. Its
teeth had sunk deep into Lu Shangjin’s abdomen and back, and the area
near the wound began to appear faintly black.

As soon as he was done shouting, Xia Jingtian ran out. Right where he had
just been standing, a deep pit was hollowed out by the iron whip-like tail.

He took a few steps back, aimed for the lizard’s jaw, and fired two
consecutive gravity rounds.

The lizard bit Lu Shangjin in pain, flinging him into the air, and its jaw was
slammed to the ground hard by the gravity bullet.

The little grey bunny crawled under the table, not daring to make a sound
even as he cried. Xia Jingtian swiftly picked up the child into his arms and
brought up his hand to block his eyes.

Lu Shangjin took this opportunity to turn over and get away, immediately
launching the accompanying ability “seize”. Like a black shadow swooping
in the air, he grabbed Xia Jingtian, stepped on the testing table, and leaped
ten meters away.

Xia Jingtian fell onto the testing table and the test tubes came crashing all
over his body, but he subconsciously protected the little bunny’s head in his
arms.

Lu Shangjin used the support of the ground to get up. The bite from the
sharp teeth left him with dozens of wounds, and black blood trickled down,
forming a pool of red by his feet.

He caught his breath and staggered to the wall, flipping on the switch of the
big lights.

It was now that they saw the whole monster.

It was a six-meter-long komodo dragon with a tempered glass culture shield

mounted at the back of its neck, where a gland pulsated vigorously,
providing the giant lizard with endless energy.
Xia Jingtian brushed off the dozens of test tubes from his body, “And you
let him bite you, you should have hit the gland!”

Lu Shangjing supported himself with his AWM as he watched the pulsing

glands on the back of the giant lizard’s neck. His fingertips shook as he
clenched his knuckles until they turned white.

It was a combination of a komodo dragon and a chameleon A3 glands. It

could rely on these glands to trigger the chameleon M2 ability for its
stealth, and could disappear, taking Lu Shangjing with it.

Lu Shangjing held his breath and lifted up his AWM, his words coming out
very lightly. It was so hard to speak it almost tore his vocal cords:

“That’s my dad.”

As a long, scaly tail swept over, Xia Jingtian picked up the little bunny and
ran towards the back. Lu Shangjing stepped onto the testing table and
jumped back. His sniper rifle was aimed at the giant lizard’s nape, his index
finger laid on the trigger for a long, long time.

In the end, he still pulled it.

The high-speed impact of the magnum bullet combined with the precise
positioning of the peregrine M2 ability, only managed to cause a single
crack in the shield.

The gunshot enraged the lizard like an ancient dragon lunging out in a
frenzy. Its venomous mouth opened and broke half the testing table with
one bite.

“Hsss…” Xia Jingtian received a gash on his forearm, the wound stung as
the venom seeped through and it hurt like hell.

He continued his message in the recording:

“Ge, it wasn’t me that put that gecko in your first love’s dress… I only put
it in the bathroom. I found him annoying. At the time, I just didn’t want to
spoil it for you guys.”
Lu Shangjing retreated to observe, his eyes suddenly fixing on the giant
lizard’s feet.

The test tubes were scattered all over the ground and one of them was
labelled, “Lop-eared Rabbit A3, Name: Yan Yi.”

“Hold this,” Lu Shangjing took off the heavy sniper rifle and threw it to Xia
Jingtian. He pulled out two stainless steel tactical daggers from his
waistband. They scratched the thick scaled tail that swept over as they
rolled towards the giant lizard’s feet, and with a sharp and sudden stab, he
nailed one of its toes to the ground.

He collected Yan Yi’s stem cell sample into the insulated safe and held it
tightly in his arms.

The giant lizard also had the chameleon’s J1 ability for “360 degree
observation

“, its sharp claws swiping across Lu Shangjin’s shoulder and gripping the
ground.

A deep claw mark was cut out of Lu Shangjin’s shoulder, and the silver
incubator in his arm was smeared with blood and handprints, but he never
let go.

Like a miser who had diamond, he clenched his jaw and kept a death grip
on the treasure in his arm.

Xia Jingtian crawled on the floor and aimed right at the giant lizard’s eyes.
A sniper rifle without a scope was useless to any race other than the
peregrine falcon, but at such a distance, he was too far away for a gravity
shot to puncture.

The phone on his belt began to vibrate silently.

Xia Jingtian fired a few random rounds to get the giant lizard’s attention in
order to cover Lu Shangjing’s back for him to retreat. He picked up the little
grey bunny and ran towards the other side to escape.
The phone wouldn’t stop vibrating. Xia Jingtian took the chance while the
giant lizard was completely focused on Lu Shangjin to feel for his phone
and took a glance. A video call was displayed on the screen.

“Boss Gu?” Xia Jingtian was stunned for a moment. He occasionally

glanced back at the screen while dodging shrapnel and the lizard’s attacks,
“How is there signal at the bottom of the ocean?”

Gu Wei’s big nostril was stuck to the screen. After finally adjusting the
angle, he held up his chin on the table top, “I’m using PBB’s highest
clearance to contact you guys. The freezer vent access is now open. Leave
the freezer in three minutes and evacuate according to my instructions.”

“Where the fuck did you get the highest clearance?” Xia Jingtian picked up
his phone, putting the little grey bunny under the testing table and jumped
onto the vertical cabinet, both hands pressed onto the ceiling diffuser trying
hard to break it.

As soon as the diffuser broke open, Lu Shangjin flipped over to land and
pick up the little grey bunny, throwing him into Xia Jingtian’s arms along
with the incubator in his hand.

“Take them and go.” He was holding onto his bloody shoulder, his face a
sickly pale colour.

Xia Jingtian glanced back at him, bit his lip, and climbed up the vent.

As soon as his back feet rose up into the vent, the giant lizard’s teeth tore
through half the steel ceiling.

After ten seconds, a hand was extended out from the vent.

Lu Shangjing swiftly kicked off the cabinet to catch Xia Jingtian’s wrist and
rapidly went up the vent.

Xia Jingtian held onto the little grey bunny and kicked the incubator. He
looked regretfully at his right hand, which had just stretched out to pull him
up.
“I can’t believe I just did something that I’ll regret for the rest of my life.”

Lu Shangjing lifted the incubator and crawled away towards the outside.
Xia Jingtian hugged the child and followed suit.

Wherever Lu Shangjin went, a thick bloody trail followed. Xia Jingtian

visually estimated the amount of blood loss and frowned, his eyebrows
knitting closer and tighter together.

“Hey, are you okay?”

Lu Shangjing gave an indifferent sound but did not reply.

 Chap 58

Lu Shangjin couldn’t move after climbing into the transformed submarine.

He held the incubator stiffly while slowly touching the control panel with
his fingers. Mixed with seawater, the blood flowing out from his body
dripped down the panel into the cracks.

Xia Jingtian flipped inside from the water barrier door and buckled the
protective belt to tie the little bunny to the folding board. He then sat in the
driver’s seat and quickly operated the control panel.

“If you can’t operate it, I’ll take over.” Lu Shangjin stared at the entrance of
the base through the bulletproof water barrier glass, where a large number
of security forces soldiers followed their trail.

“Don’t worry. I even won the grand prize in the school UAV competition.”

As the transformed submarine started, it simultaneously received gravity

manipulation and rose extremely fast. The pressure balance speed in the
cabin was less than the ascent speed and the external pressure sharply
descended, making Lu Shangjin nearly suffocate with a mouthful of blood
in his throat.

Curled up on the folding board, the little grey bunny tightly grasped the
protective belt. Rabbits themselves were easily frightened. The tip of the
little grey bunny’s nose made little twitches, and his small ears that were
wet from the seawater plastered listlessly against his neck as water dripped.

Propped up on the ground, Lu Shangjin sat closer. He twisted the little grey
bunny’s ears and wiped the seawater inside dry.
Water can’t get into little rabbits’ ears.

The transformed submarine rushed out of the sea and immediately activated
the drain valve. The propeller moved up the track, and the helicopter
painted with the peregrine falcon family emblem swung the flowing water
to accelerate the ascent before it disappeared beyond the sea horizon.

At low altitude, there were a dozen or so lion-print fighter jets escorting the
aircraft, and at a glance, it was clear that Xia Pingtian brought them over.

Lu Shangjin ripped off his torn armed clothing on his upper body, leaving
only a tight wet black undershirt. It clung to each of the clearly delineated
muscle contours of his back and abdomen; three bloody claw marks were
left from his right shoulder to his back contour.

He bit open the seal of the injection gun and stuck a shot of epinephrine and
a shot of antidote into the varicose veins in his arm. The veins of his neck
were taut and red, and sweat mixed with seawater flowed down his Adam’s
apple into the deep hollows of his collarbones.

After waiting for a moment, Lu Shangjin threw Xia Jingtian an antidote.

Xia Jingtian was operating the helicopter breathlessly, “Don’t move. I’m
busy, fuck.”

Lu Shangjin took a deep breath, “…there’s auto-navigation.”

Xia Jingtian was stunned for a moment before pressing the button for auto-
navigation.

The helicopter flight gradually smoothed out.

Xia Jingtian finally slumped with relief in the driver’s seat. He flipped open
his sleeves, where his forearm scraped out by the scale armour dripped with
black blood, the edges soaked white by the seawater.

It was still okay not looking at the wound, but taking a glance at it made
him instantly feel the excruciating pain. He fumbled to pick up the antidote
needle gun on the ground, pointed the tip of the needle at the blood vessels
in his own forearm, trembled as he aligned it, before he gritted his teeth and
injected it in.

The quick-acting antidote worked within three seconds and quickly reacted
with the toxins that entered his body.

The saliva of the komodo dragon carried toxins which had been enhanced
correspondingly in combination with the A3 glands. The quick-acting
antidote could only temporarily inhibit the spread of the toxin, so he had to
go to the nearest hospital to clean the wound and inject the antidote serum.

Xia Jingtian clutched his injured forearm and felt that the pain was
unbearable even if he loosened his strength a little. The wound was painful
and itchy, like a few wriggling prickly caterpillars were scattered on the cut.

“Ow- I fucking…” Xia Jingtian tumbled down from the driver’s seat,
tightly clutched his forearm with swelling blood vessels and rolled on the
ground. He curled up and desperately endured it.

He looked up at Lu Shangjin. Lu Shangjin’s tight fitting black undershirt

had many tears. His abdomen and back were etched with fine teeth marks
that slowly oozed out poisoned blood.

The three claw marks alongside each other on his shoulder were the most
seriously wounded, with faintly visible white bones in the out-turned flesh
and blood.

He looked at the sea level, a layer of melancholy indifference floated over

his frosty gaze that Xia Jingtian couldn’t understand.

Like noticing a mouse, Lu Shangjin felt the gaze hit him and he silently
turned his eyes back and glanced at Xia Jingtian.

“What’re you looking at.” Xia Jingtian sat up and tried his best to pretend
that it didn’t hurt that much.

Lu Shangjin felt out a compressed cookie from under the folding board and
threw it into the space between Xia Jingtian’s legs, a ridiculing look in his
eyes, “Cat food.”

The expression on Xia Jingtian’s face looked even worse, “Lion.”

“It’s the same thing before you’re grown up,” Lu Shangjin tore open the
bag of compressed cookies, broke off a piece and stuffed it into the little
grey bunny’s mouth, “You’re still far from it.”

Slightly tired, Lu Shangjin sat on the side of the folding board and leaned
against the inner wall. The abnormal stiff whiteness on his face did not ease
much because of the injection of the antidote.

He closed his eyes to alleviate the side effects of overuse of his “extreme
vision”.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, the komodo dragon came back to his
mind as well as the glands pulsating on the back of its neck; it was Ye Wan.

He still remembered his father’s exhortation on his deathbed.

“Don’t let Yan Yan become like me and be sad until the end that he would
even forget where the heart is.”

Lu Shangjin opened his eyes, picked up the little grey bunny who was
eating the compressed cookies in small bites, and touched his cheek.

The little mouth of the little grey bunny that was seriously chewing on a
cookie paused, blinking his big eyes as he looked at Lu Shangjin.

Omegas were beautiful pure little things; they were either careful and
cautious, or gentle and powerful. Why were they preyed on as a natural
resource? As reproductive machines to become reproduction tools and
fighting machines for the superiors? Even for an A3 grade omega, it would
be difficult to compete against a large number of predators.

“There should be someone to protect you.” This thought swept through Lu

Shangjin’s mind.
“Hm? Then become enemies with the world’s biggest plutocrats?” Xia
Jingtian languidly pillowed the hand that was still intact, “It’s like my
dream in my second grade of middle school. I thought it was so cool at the
time that the lovely omegas were angels to all of mankind.”

“By the way, what on earth does your father really want?”

“Lu Lin is an arms lunatic. My father is Ye Wan.” Lu Shangjin hated the

fact that the blood in his body originated from someone as disgusting as Lu
Lin.

The Lu family made a fortune in the arms business. It was the family’s
tradition to make fortune from calamity and war up until Lu Shangjin’s
generation, when he abandoned that life and made only superficial changes.

It seemed that Lu Lin intended to return to his old business, this time
targeting biological weapons with a global reach.

The two men had different thoughts in their minds.

Xia Jingtian had leaned on the other side and fell in a daze, and was now
scrolling through his phone. Not even a trace of communication record was
left. The last piece of news with Gu Wei was the chat in the middle of the
night when he rescued Yan Yi.

“Gu Wei …… Gu.” Xia Jingtian scratched his hair, wanting to ask his
brother, but deleted it after typing a line in the message box.

He might as well go to the bar and ask himself.

The security forces of the submarine base pursued them to the edge of the
set range and were then given the order to disarm the alarm.

Lu Lin stared at the distant helicopter on the screen in the main control
room.

The results of this experiment were barely satisfactory. He thought that

using his son’s pheromone excitation could promote Ye Wan’s gland to
upgrade again, or fuse with the komodo dragon as one.
“Wan Wan…” Lu Lin stared at the komodo dragon that was brutally tearing
up the test bench on another monitor screen and said with disappointment,
“You’re getting weaker. You were invincible before.”

“You’re not beautiful anymore.” He regrettably recited again.

Deep in the main control room there was a prison cage with three electric
grids stacked on one side. Inside the prison cage held an alpha, hands
handcuffed. He was in a wretched situation, but still appeared
extraordinarily imposing.

The alpha in the cage folded his hands on the table top lowered by the
interrogation chair and snorted with a laugh, “When you once chased after
Ye Wan you were so romantic that it made people’s scalp numb. I thought
you wouldn’t do that to him, at least.”

Lu Lin turned his swivel chair and held the gold wired frame of his glasses
lightly, “Ye Wan is a charming omega, but it doesn’t stop me from doing
more important things.”

The alpha chuckled softly, “The most important thing you can do is to turn
an international peacekeeping organization into a private arsenal.”

When he smiled, his two canine teeth showed, and his eyes glowed with
light green luminescence. His glandular type was a Kenai Mountain Wolf.

“I found that the freezer’s security system and vent access had been opened
remotely.” Lu Lin leaned in the swivel chair leisurely with his long legs
folded and said with composure, “The highest authority had been utilized.”

“Apart from you… chief commander Gu, who, in the end, still has the
highest authority.” Lu Lin’s voice was soft and gentle, making one feel
absolutely creeped out, “Could it be that your two sons are not dead yet?”

Lu Lin raised his pistol, “If there are other people in this world who can use
the highest authority of PBB, I really don’t need to keep you for so long.”
“Gu Yuanzhi, this is the last time I will ask.” Lu Lin laughed softly, “I will
find him. A waste of awakening mutation, a disgrace to the Gu family. Is
that right.”

“He’s not a disgrace.” Gu Yuanzhi smiled, “He’s my pride.”

Lu Lin pulled the trigger until the bullet exploded through his skull, and Gu
Yuanzhi stayed still.

It was already May. The sun was burning on their skins and the Chinese
roses in the garden outside the villa were in full bloom.

Ambulance was parked around Lu Shangjin’s villa and two rescue

helicopters sent by An Fei Ya were waiting outside the courtyard.

Bi Ruijing was smoking against his Ferrari, while Xia Pingtian couldn’t
even bother to smoke. He kicked the chassis of the rescue helicopter and
hurled all kinds of curses, “That little brat, I’ll skin him alive when he
comes back! He’s become so fucking capable. All the hair hasn’t even
grown on his body and yet he still wants to be some bullshit hero saving the
beauty. I told him, don’t let me catch a hold of him, or I’ll squish him to
death, fuck!”

There was blue black under Xia Pingtian’s eyes. In the past, there were fine
lines at the corner of his flirtatious and amorous eyes, but he seems to have
become several years old in just a few days.

When he heard that Xia Jingtian didn’t go back to school and followed Lu
Shangjin to the Pacific Ocean, he almost fainted on the spot and sent
someone to chase him. However, he was late after all and watched the
helicopter with the printed peregrine falcon family emblem enter the sea.

Bi Ruijing gently spat out smoke, “Your Lu ge is here, though. He has a

sense of propriety, he’ll definitely bring the family’s favourite baby back as
he is.”

“That’s right! Someone saving his wife is perfectly justifiable, but this
ancestor of our family wants to join the damn excitement.’ Xia Pingtian
gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves, constantly looking down at his
watch, “Xia Jingtian deserves to be tied up at home, beaten every day, and
not allowed to eat. If I don’t break his leg today, I’ll take his fucking last
name.”

A distant buzzing sound approached and a helicopter slowly landed on the

helipad on top of the villa.

Ten minutes later, Xia Jingtian came out first. He wore a broken bulletproof
vest tactical belt, held a child in his left hand and the incubator in his right,
like a new recruit back home for the New Year.

Xia Pingtian’s eyes suddenly became hot. After Xia Jingtian handed over
the incubator and the little grey bunny to Dr. Zhong, he came over and
stood in front of him with a heartless and provocative smile, “Hey, ge, you
look like a real pussy with this look, like you want to cry but not crying
out.”

Xia Pingtian closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and got into the car
without saying a word.

When Lu Shangjin went downstairs, he grabbed a windbreaker jacket and

put it on to cover up his numerous wretched bruises.

He watched as Dr. Zhong led several nurses to urgently escort the stem cells
to the rescue helicopter and held Bi Ruijing’s shoulders to take a breather.

Bi Ruijing helped him walk towards the helicopter, “Awesome, you single-
handedly broke into PBB. You can boast about this for a lifetime.”

“Not really alone.” Lu Shangjin raised his hand and bumped his fist with Bi
Ruijing, “The little kitten also helped a little.”

Lu Shangjin had been holding on to stay awake and after arriving at An Fei
Ya, he didn’t let the emergency nurses come near him and stood alone in the
hall waiting.
When Yan Yi was pushed out, he followed him and repeatedly wiped his
palms clean on his clothes. He followed after him while gently grasping
Yan Yi’s hand.

“Ge will wait for you outside.” Lu Shangjin looked at him gently, his heart
so soft that he couldn’t wait for Yan Yi to wake up and knead it flat and
round any way he wished.

There was also a failure rate in glandular stem cell cloning and
transplantation. Stem cells couldn’t divide into glands independently, and
there must be a human with the corresponding genotype as the carrier to
complete the differentiation. If the carrier rejection reaction occurred, the
stem cells and the carrier human would die together.

It was only when the door of the operating room was closed that Lu
Shangjin loosened his bowstrings. Eyes blurry, he slowly slid to the ground
with his back against the wall. The bandage that he had just wrapped on the
rescue helicopter was soaked again by the blood oozing from the wound.
 Chap 59

Edited and Proofread by: acro

Yan Yi was conscious before he was pushed out of the ICU.

Pressed under his fingers were two neatly folded notes, each one containing
a concerned greeting and an imaginary farewell.

The nurse came to prepare the operation and gently plucked Yan Yi’s closed
fingers, taking the notes out and putting them aside.

On the way from the ICU to the operating room, someone was chasing after
him. This person was holding his hand, so hot to the touch that the panic
spread from this person into Yan Yi’s mind with just the touch of his
fingertips.

Yan Yi gently tightened his fingers, trying to give this person some comfort.

But all of a sudden, the alpha was pushed away and could only stare after
him from a distance.

An anaesthetic needle was inserted into his bones, and Yan Yi was once
again immersed into a dream as soon as a glimmer of his consciousness was
cleared. He could no longer feel it at all when the back of his neck was cut
open.

He saw that alpha again.

The alpha sat woefully in front of the steps, his body torn up with wounds
all over. His back was curved in a lonely arc as he sat in front of the door
looking into the distance and waiting.
Yan Yi walked over and stood in front of him.

The alpha raised his head and Yan Yi realised that he couldn’t see his face
clearly. He put his hand on the alpha’s cheek and wiped the tears and blood
from his face.

Yan Yi felt all the pain of every wound on his body clearly, but could not
hug him with compassion.

Suddenly, his waist was tightened. The alpha reached out to put his arms
around him and delicate kisses fell on his forehead and hair on his temples.

Yan Yi struggled to push him away, but the arm around his body grew
tighter and tighter as if the alpha was afraid that he would leave.

“Forgive me, don’t leave…” The alpha’s voice was low. It unexpectedly
sounded a little meek and humble, quite different from his original voice
which gave off the impression of arrogance.

Yan Yi couldn’t get a clear view of him, so he didn’t dare to agree to forgive
him that easily.

The alpha lowered his head and hugged him tightly around the waist, like a
child who couldn’t get the candy he wanted. He picked Yan Yi up carefully
and went into the house behind him.

The familiar sense of safety once again enveloped his whole body.

The surgery was a success. It had a higher rate of success as they used Yan
Yi’s own glandular stem cells; there had been no rejection so far.

After the examination, Lu Shangjin’s injury turned out to be very serious.

He had rib microfractures, shoulder bone fractures, excess blood loss, and
continuous glandular energy overdraft. His whole being was a wreck, even
going to the bathroom was difficult.

He didn’t let anyone take care of him, and didn’t want to see anyone either.
He instructed the nurse to come over and tell him when Yan Yi’s ward was
ready for visits.
He leaned against the head of the bed in silence, holding Yan Yi’s notebook
in his hand, turning the pages one by one, and gently turning the ring that
had fallen off Yan Yi’s left hand between his fingers.

“Jin ge took me to see a movie. It’s the first time I went to the theatre, the
screen was huge and the popcorn was so sweet. The movie was really good,
I specifically went and bought a CD to keep. +17 points.”

“Movie.” Lu Shangjin asked for a red pen and circled ‘movie’. It’s been a
while since he had paid any attention to what was new in theatres. After
Yan Yi gets better, he’ll take him to one.

Yan Yi likes everything that any ordinary little o likes. He doesn’t like guns.

He flipped a page. On it was a drawing of random stick figures with a

figure kissing a small rabbit’s ears.

The drawing was quite a mess. Since young, Yan Yi’s drawings were so
ugly that they were cute. His drawings would look like anything to others,
but Lu Shangjin could always understand what he meant.

Over a decade ago, they weren’t together yet. At the time, Yan Yi liked
Tuzki, a cartoon design with squirted eyes drawn by a few black lines. It
was extremely popular in the 2000s. Yan Yi liked to pinch his ears to make
them really small, and learned to imitate that little expression, cheaply
shaking his noodle arms.

So he didn’t wear any of the branded outfits that Lu Shangjin bought him,
he only wanted to wear Tuzki white t-shirts that cost just a few dozen yuan.

Lu Shangjin was disgusted and helpless.

After they got together, Yan Yi began to study luxury goods, suits, and red
wine. Lu Shangjin was also pleased that he finally had a little taste.
Thinking about it now, he did that probably in order to not lose his identity
as he stood beside him.
His dad had said about the omegas of his grade, that even if they don’t fall
in love with anyone, they will be fine for the rest of their life.

Yan Yi’s perception of luxury or cheap things was still very vague, the
brooch he had before was just made of plastic. Lu Shangjin was certain he
would like it, but he couldn’t bear to send something so cheap.

By reading between the lines, he could tell that Yan Yi liked the twenty year
old Lu Shangjin, not him.

He still had a chance to beat his twenty-year-old self, and the things he
didn’t accomplish at twenty, he could do them for Yan Yi.

There was a gentle knock on the ward door and a nurse came in to give Lu
Shangjin his new medicine, followed behind her was the little one.

Lu Shangjin bore half his arm and unwrapped his bandages to reveal three
slightly septic wounds. An injury this serious was rare to see, it made the
nurse a little worried so she deliberately made her actions gentler.

Lu Shangjin sat up lazily, as if not feeling any pain at all. He propped his
elbow on his crossed legs and rested his chin on his hand, looking at the
little grey rabbit who was lying quietly on the side of the bed.

“Have you contacted your family?”

“Mhm.” The little rabbit nodded obediently, “Dad is going to pick me up

soon, he wants to know your name, he said he wants to thank you.”

“We’ll get to know each other once he gets here.” Lu Shangjin took an
apple from the head of the bed and threw it to him. Maybe Lu Shangjin
didn’t care who his father was, but there were very few people who haven’t
heard of the name of the young master of the Lu family.

The little grey rabbit took the apple and nibbled at it obediently.

“What have you been up to these last two days?” Lu Shangjin asked, “Let
Xiao Ning take you out to play.”
Assistant Xiao Ning had been quite idle lately, his day was done after
buying fruit and sending meals to Lu Shangjin everyday.

The little grey rabbit said that he called his classmates and teachers to report
that he was safe. Shao Wenchi had helped remind him of his homework,
which had kept him busy for the last two days.

Lu Shangjin stroked his chin and raised his eyebrows, “You share a desk
with Shao Wenchi?” He vaguely remembered that little spider had also
mentioned him before.

The assistant came in with the information in the morning. This little
rabbit’s background was not simple. His alpha father had done a lot of
overseas business, and his omega father was a jewellery brand designer
who had heard of Lu Shangjin.

Brilliant.

Lu Shangjin had a favourable impression on the entire rabbit race right now.
His pity towards this little rabbit was just a form of comfort under his panic.

Once he returned back to his senses, Lu Shangjin habitually calculated his

gains and losses. He had saved him, so he must get benefits off of him,
because he wasn’t Yan Yi.

After all, his love for the house extended even to the crows perched on the
roof. He wanted to do better for Yan Yi.

As he spoke, the assistant knocked the door from outside, “Boss, they’re
here. Would you like to meet them?”

“No, you know what to say.” Lu Shangjin gave the little rabbit a little push,
“Your dad is here to pick you up, off you go.”

The little rabbit’s omega dad hugged his child, his eyes turned red. The
alpha on the side hugged his wife and the child, kissing him excitedly. He
came over and asked if it was convenient for him to meet young master Lu,
so that he could thank him face to face.
The assistant politely declined, “My boss really is injured badly, he is
mentally and physically exhausted so he currently can’t meet with people.”

The alpha had no other way. He was not one to owe favours, and he had no
business crossovers with Lu Shangjin. The gift he brought to thank him
seemed like not enough of a token of appreciation for Lu Shangjin. So he
swiftly asked Xiao Ning about what young master Lu likes. It would be
great to use this opportunity to become friends with Lu Shangjin on this
occasion.

The assistant said softly, “The only thing our boss likes is his wife who is
now in the ICU. I don’t know the details, just that the boss has a grudge
against young master Shao.”

The alpha was startled for a moment, gently touching his chin, “Which
Master Shao?”

“Which other Master Shao could annoy our boss?” The assistant thought he
had said too much so he brought up a jewellery exhibition that young
master Lu had recently planned.

The alpha could not pretend that he didn’t get the hint, he understood what
Lu Shangjin meant.

After sending off the little grey rabbit with the two gentlemen, the assistant
went to the ward to relay a message.

Lu Shangjin had his head down and was busy copying something from the
notebook. He looked at the top of the page, the first line was “raising and
nursing a lop-eared rabbit””.

As soon as the assistant came over, the tip of Lu Shangjin’s pen paused for
a moment and he immediately wanted to close the notebook. But on second
thought, he opened the book back up and continued his copying righteously.

The assistant had been beside Lu Shangjin for so many years and had long
honed the ability to read people’s minds. He just remembered that he had
spotted a library nearby when he had gone out to buy dinner, so he ran out
to pay a deposit for a card to borrow a stack of books on raising rabbits for
Lu Shangjin.

Xia Pingtian just happened to bump into him while he was on his way over
to change his brother’s dressing on his wound. He wondered if Lu
Shangjin’s business vision was ready to shift towards agriculture.

He quickly came back to his senses because of Xia Jingtian’s scream when
he was changing his dressing. He leaned against the wall and taunted,
“Serve you fucking right, little brat.”

Books were piled up at the head of the bed like a high school student’s
desk. Lu Shangjin leaned on this sea of knowledge to learn how to raise a
rabbit.

He was a quick reader, finishing one book in half an hour, he even had a
photographic memory for the main points.

“Timothy hay, clovers.” Lu Shangjin copied down names of several rabbit

foods, and then went to the pet rabbit forum to research on brands.

He had never known before that the lop-eared rabbit was such a delicate
kind of rabbit. They’re timid and easily frightened, very sensitive, afraid of
both the heat and cold, and they can’t eat anything too cold, and can’t eat
meat.

Before, he had brought him shrimp loin ravioli, even feeding him a lot of
frozen strawberries. Yan Yi must have been very uncomfortable, and he got
through it without saying anything.

Rabbits liked to be pet. If it sneaks up and puts its butt up in front of you,
it’s an invitation for you to pet them. If they don’t get pets, they will get sad
and become depressed over time.

In the three years after their breakup, he hadn’t given Yan Yi much care, let
alone touching. The little rabbit said that he had skin hunger and thirst,
probably hinting that he wanted to be petted.
Lu Shangjin took a glance at his watch, when can he visit him?

He hasn’t held the fragrant and soft little rabbit in his arms for so long. How
is he? Will he still be in pain once the anaesthesia wears off? Is he lonely
sleeping alone in the ICU?

Lu Shangjin thought for a long time. He got off the hospital bed and made
his way over to take the elevator to the door of the care unit to take a peek
at Yan Yi through the door.

Xia Jingtian was sitting next to the door, lazily propped up beside the wall.
He looked up and asked, “I just heard that we can visit, but we’re not
allowed to stay long. Will you go in and see him?”

Lu Shangjin was stunned for a moment before he placed his fingertips on

the door.

“I didn’t go in,” Xia Jingtian lifted his bandaged forearm, “I’m only here
for the dressing change.”

Lu Shangjin went to make sure that he could visit before walking in gently.
Yan Yi was still asleep on the hospital bed. There was gauze attached to the
glands on the back of his neck.

Lu Shangjin carefully restrained his pheromone scent in order to not to

irritate Yan Yi. As he sat on the side of the bed, he held Yan Yi’s thin left
hand in his palm.

The omega’s skeleton was small to begin with, but these days he could only
rely on nutrients and energy agents to support him. His arm was so thin it
was like it only had a thin layer of soft flesh left, it felt like nothing as it
was being held in his hand.

He wanted to hold him against his chest and coax him while he rested on
the hollow in his shoulder.

Based on the doctor’s advice, Lu Shangjin tentatively released a little

soothing pheromone to him, then observed whether his expression changed.
Dr. Zhong had said that the gland was completely damaged and replaced,
the marks from before had disappeared.

But Lu Shangjin still subtly controlled the soothing pheromones. The

pheromones had made Yan Yi feel pain and resistance before, so he didn’t
dare to do anything rash.

The weak hand resting in his palm moved gently, tightening slightly, and
grasped the tip of Lu Shangjin’s fingers.

His hand was cold, but Lu Shangjin could feel a warm comforting feeling
placed in his palm. A trickle of blood flowed towards the small wound he
had on his palm, and it healed him.

Lu Shangjin tried his best to restrain himself from leaning in closer. Yan
Yi’s faintly sleeping face reflected in his pupils, each brush and stroke of
which was traced and engraved on his heart, never to be forgotten again.

He wanted to make a grand promise to make it up to him, but his nose

suddenly ached, his throat got choked up and his voice became hoarse. So
he just lowered his head and kissed his forehead.

“Thank you, baobei.”

 Chap 60

Edited and Proofread by: jie

Shao Wenjing received overseas encrypted mail in his mailbox. A number

of precision medical equipment orders were temporarily cancelled. The
other end would rather pay liquidated damages terminating the cooperation.

“…What a profitable thing to be put aside.” Shao Wenjing leaned back in

his soft chair and propped his long legs up against his desktop, taking a
leisurely sip of his coffee.

He checked his watch. It was already 9PM.

He scratched his hair, found a rubber band, tied the ends of his mid-length
hair together, and headed downstairs.

Wenchi was playing with a two thousand piece puzzle bought last week. It
was put together in just a few days, and Shao Wenjing’s friends with the
same hobby brought a ten thousand piece 3D puzzle of a small castle for
Wenchi to play with.

When he stood by Wenchi’s door, the little guy was still concentrating on
the splinter in his hand.

“Sleep time little spidey.” Shao Wenjing gently knocked on the door.

Wenchi looked back for a second and carefully gathered the unfinished
pieces into the box. He walked barefoot on the carpet and gently held Shao
Wenjing’s hand.

Whenever Wenchi was sad, he would silently hold his hand.

He lifted the little one onto his forearm, turned off the lights, and slept with
him for a while.

Wenchi nestled in the thin quilt. Shao Wenjing laid down on the side of the
bed slowly patting him over the thin quilt and holding up his head to ask,
“Has someone bullied you at school?”

Wenchi shook his head.

Shao Wenjing waited patiently.

After a while, Wenchi asked carefully, “Is bunny never coming back?”

Shao Wenjing was stunned but smiled and patted him, “I’m here yet you’re
still worried about others.”

At the time under those circumstances, he had no choice but to save Wenchi
first, and he was unable to take Yan Yi back from the alpha, an M2
peregrine falcon, while bringing Wenchi with him.

Insects and spiders were no match for birds and beasts of prey.

Watching Lu Shangjin grab people when in the momentum of life and

death, thousands of calculations could not work out how to turn a prodigal
son back. If he appeared in front of Lu Shangjin again at this time, it would
be to hit him with the muzzle of the gun.

Wenchi shrank into the curve of Shao Wenjing’s arm, raising his large eyes
and said lightly, “Why are my parents the only ones who have become
stars?”

The words came out thin, piercing Shao Wenjing’s heart like tiny thorns.

He hugged him into his arms and leaned against the bed, asking in a low
voice, “I didn’t take enough care of you?”

“But you can’t make me milk candy or tell me nice stories.” Wenchi’s
small, soft hands looped around Shao Wenjing’s neck, “I’m not saying you
are not good. You are very good, but it’s different.”
“Oh baobei, you really hurt my heart.” Shao Wenjing gave a smile and
released soothing pheromones to lull him to sleep.

“Given the chance, I’ll bring the little rabbit back.” Shao Wenjing pondered
when to act as he patted him to sleep.

“He has my mark on him, he’ll come back sooner or later.”

“Do you like him?” Wenchi obediently sat on his lap and looked up at him,
“Do you?”

Shao Wenjing thought deeply.

He was amazed when the little white rabbit jumped down from the high
platform with his knife in both hands.

Right then, there was a small electric current crawling through his heart, not
only from the pheromone match, but also the yearning and appreciation of a
beautiful work of art.

He probably liked him.

Without waiting for him to say the answer he had been thinking about for a
long time, Wenchi asked again, “Do you like him more than Lu Shangjin
does?”

Shao Wenjing frowned slightly.

At least he won’t make himself look bad in order to try to get the omega
back.

“If there is an omega I like, you’ll be the first to know.” Shao Wenjing
kissed his forehead. “I’m going to go work, goodnight.”

Perhaps his feelings were too weak. Even though he had marked Yan Yi, he
still felt that kind of care and attachment growing more distant day by day.

As if the mark was gone.

Shao Wenjing didn’t think much of it.

In his opinion, love should be elegant and in moderation. Lu Shangjin’s

way was like a pursuit of heaven from earth; it wasn’t love, but bad spirit.

Lu Shangjin sat in the nursing chair beside the hospital bed to cut Yan Yi’s
nails.

The lop-eared rabbit needed to cut nails and foot fur regularly to keep clean
and healthy. Lu Shangjin cleaned up the nails and took a cotton ball to Yan
Yi to wipe the curves of his ears.

After grooming Yan Yan into a clean little white rabbit, Lu Shangjin rested
on the edge of the bed for a while, releasing the last of his soothing
pheromones for him.

His own recovery required energy from his glands, which were damaged by
a series of overruns. Only a tiny amount of energy could be recovered each
day, released as soothing pheromone.

These last few days, he didn’t dare to slacken even a bit.

Within a few days after the successful operation, there were continuous
suspected rejection reactions. The machine alarm sounded at two or three in
the morning, and Yan Yi was pushed into the operating room several times,
during which Lu Shangjin was asked to sign a critical illness notice again.

He didn’t dare to sleep anymore.

Lu Shangjin set up a chair at the door of the ICU and sat there at night
leaning against the wall, waiting for the most feared instrument alarm to
bring Yan Yan back from the brink of death.

Once Yan Yi’s situation stabilised and he was transported back into a
singular private room, Lu Shangjin could stay beside him at his bedside to
keep him company.

This morning, he gave his face a serious wash and looked at himself closely
in the mirror. He had forgotten to shave again. There were some white,
shiny strands in his hair.

Lu Shangjin gave himself some eye drops to relieve the discomfort of his
eyes. His hands trembled slightly and he accidentally squeezed too much of
the drops, which ran down his face when he closed his eyes.

Right after, his nose felt sour.

He fumbled and grabbed Yan Yi’s hand, put it to his lips and kissed it.

Yan Yi’s ring was still in his pocket. He wanted to wait for him to wake up
and until he was willing to put the ring on his hand once again.

This pair of wedding rings was too old and carried too many bad memories.
Lu Shangjin wanted them to change to a new pair, but then thought of how
Yan Yi loved this old pair. Maybe not changing them would be better.

“When its 520, wake up and look at me.” Lu Shangjin closed his eyes and
pressed his forehead against Yan Yi’s fingertips, “You’re always like this,
you sleep so endlessly. Look at you, you’re so thin that there is no meat on
you at all.”

“We’ll go home once you wake up.” Lu Shangjin mumbled, “You’ll be the
happiest little rabbit.”

Yan Yi suddenly curled up slightly, as if he was trying hard to roll over.

Lu Shangjin was shocked. He immediately took his other hand together,

making sure not to touch the needles and carefully helped him roll over
while supporting his back.

Right after flipping over, Yan Yi curled into a ball. His little rabbit ears
covered his face, and like a little child, he gave a light whine.

Lu Shangjin hurried around to the other side of the bed, brushed away his
little ear and looked at his slightly wrinkled face with relief.

The scent of the narcissus gently soothed the curled rabbit as he squeezed
out the bit of energy he had recovered from his glands.
“Good boy.” Lu Shangjin half knelt down to look at him and pinched his
thin soft face. He looked up to see the infusion bag deflated, and quietly left
the ward to call a nurse to come and change his medicine. He went to ask
about the examination results while he was there.

Dr. Zhong held up and pointed at the glandular CT scan for Lu Shangjin to
see, “Rest assured, the glands are developing well.”

The glands on the scan looked much smaller than normal adult glands.

“The new glands are not mature yet. They’re only the size of the glands of a
seven-year-old child right now. Additionally, the previous mental
stimulation was too intense. Many of the aftereffects need to slowly
recuperate to complete recovery.” Dr. Zhong explained.

Lu Shangjin continuously nodded. He almost put on his glasses and started

taking notes in his little notebook.

“So you should also pay attention to wound recovery. The alpha’s soothing
pheromones can help speed up healing.” Dr. Zhong instructed Lu Shangjin
on each of the precautions, “Try not to have intercourse until the glands
mature. The new glands are too fragile to withstand the tear marks and the
high concentration of heat pheromones.”

Having intercourse under this situation would be too beastly.

Lu Shangjin paused for a moment and said from the bottom of his heart,
“Thank you.”

Dr. Zhong was stunned, his eyes curved as he smiled, “You’re very
welcome, young master Lu.”

He knowingly left out how Lu Shangjin had lost control and held him
threateningly by the collar outside the ICU. He had seen his fair share of
these kinds of situations. It was hard for anyone not knowing the condition
of a family member in the emergency room to not go crazy.
In the days that Lu Shangjin spent with him at An Fei Ya, Dr. Zhong had
seen just how considerate a person could be.

Even more to his surprise, it was a lop-eared rabbit whose compatibility

with him was only 75% that made young master Lu crazy.

This, on the other hand, brought the preconceived image of the aloof young
master down from the altar.

Dr. Zhong was unexpectedly talkative, from the illness to the current
situation, and later to the business. It didn’t make Lu Shangjin feel
impatient or disgusted.

As he got to the point, Dr. Zhong asked about Xia Pingtian’s preferences in
passing.

Lu Shangjin gave a light smile, “He said earlier that his brother broke a
purple clay tea set he liked when they were having an argument.”

This little love wanted to please his benefactor, Lu Shangjin didn’t need to
guess on this thoughtfulness.

After leaving Dr. Zhong, Lu Shangjin went and washed his face. He pushed
open the door to the ward and his body suddenly jerked.

His hand on the doorknob quivered and he hurried over.

“You’re awake?”

Yan Yi was sitting on the corner of the bed hugging his legs. His little ears
pressed nervously to the side of his face as he held a thin quilt in his arms.

Lu Shangjin’s voice wasn’t loud, but in the silence of the hospital room, to
the lop-eared rabbit’s sensitive ears it was almost like a crash of thunder.
Yan Yi gave a sudden shudder, the little rabbit’s ears stiffened and then
hung down. He looked at him in horror while holding his beating heart, his
nose slightly quivering.
Lu Shangjin realised he scared him, so he slowed down his footsteps and
slowly moved towards the bed while trying to release soothing pheromones.

The smell of narcissus permeated his whole body. Yan Yi looked up and
sniffed the scent. There was no rejection, but he also did not seem
comforted, he actually became more afraid and shrank into the corner.

Lu Shangjin hugged him and rubbed his back, doing his best to squeeze out
soothing pheromones as he whispered, “Don’t be scared, it’s me, don’t be
afraid.”

Yan Yi curled up against the crook of Lu Shangjin’s neck, his eyes were
stiff and foreign. He slightly shrank his hands and feet, and nestled in Lu
Shangjin’s arms into a ball of rabbit.

After Lu Shangjin’s joy passed a bit, his boiling heart gradually cooled
down.

Trembling, he looked up and down at the soft ball in his arms. Unease
spread to every cell in his body and then burst into panic.

Why was he… like a child?

…a seven year old child.

 Chap 61

“Yan Yan…do you remember me?” Lu Shangjin gently rubbed his hair and
lifted his face to ask, “What’s my name?”

Yan Yi didn’t like having his face held up like this, so he shook his head to
avoid it and gently pushed him, “I’m hungry.”

“I’ve told Xiao Ning already. He’ll deliver food in a while, be good.” Lu
Shangjin rubbed the little rabbit ears that had regained their spirit, “Let’s
have the doctor take a look first.”

Yan Yi frowned, a layer of red emerging on his pale face. He gathered his
two small ears into his hands and grabbed them, murmuring, “Can’t touch
my ears. No one can touch them.”

Lu Shangjin opened his mouth and asked hesitantly, “Jin ge can’t touch
them either?”

The little rabbit froze and fell in a daze for a moment, then pulled his ears
and muttered, “Jin ge can touch, but you cannot. Little prince can touch, but
the old man cannot.”

Am I the old man? Lu Shangjin was punched in the heart.

After the call bell rang a few times, Dr. Zhong came over in person. Yan Yi
had woken up as he expected, so he came over to give the little rabbit a
brief physical check.

“Everything’s normal.” Dr. Zhong smiled with ease.

“This is normal?” Lu Shangjin picked up the little rabbit who was moving
around in his arms by holding his buttocks facing upwards and grabbed his
flailing feet, “He looks only seven years old.”

“Yes, because the newly transplanted glands are currently only growing to
the size of a seven-year-old child and will slowly grow to normal size over
time. During this period, supplemental growth medications and large
amounts of soothing pheromones are needed. Because the brain is not
damaged, memory can only be recovered slowly and this cannot be rushed.”

“It is conservatively estimated that it will take a year or two to fully return
to normal.”

“That long?” Lu Shangjin struggled to hold down the little rabbit bouncing
in his arms, and lowered his head to coax be good, baobei.

It’s good that he was still able to recover.

After hearing this, Yan Yi looked around and wondered who the ‘baobei’
was, and then made a fuss about being hungry.

“You are baobei.” Lu Shangjin changed his position to hug him, “We’ll eat
when the food comes in a while.”

Originally, Dr. Zhong was worried that Lu Shangjin would be impatient

with the omega. His eyebrows finally relaxed and he wrote a note to Lu
Shangjin, instructing, “His glands are in the awakening and undifferentiated
stage, and the differentiation potential is still A3. Whether he can
differentiate into A3 again depends on luck.”

“If you have an obsession with A3, try to reproduce the previous turning
point of his differentiation, the differentiation may be completed under the
same stimulation.”

Lu Shangjin’s face suddenly went cold. Reproduce the turning point to

differentiate? Stuff the little rabbit’s hand into the juicer again and twist it?
“No…let it be.” He took Yan Yi’s thin hand and silently rubbed the
knuckles of his left hand. His differentiation into A3 was too painful and
too difficult.

“Stay in the hospital for three more days for observation, and he can be
discharged if he has no other symptoms.” Dr. Zhong took a packet of candy
drops from his pocket and gave them to Yan Yi, leaning down and said, “Be
good and listen to Lu xiansheng.”

Yan Yi bit on the paper, blinking at him.

After Dr. Zhong left, Yan Yi sat obediently in Lu Shangjin’s arms and ate
the candy drop. He was quiet for a while, then he suddenly looked at Lu
Shangjin with his little nose twitching, “I wanna pee pee.”

Lu Shangjin pinched his cheeks and carried him to the bathroom in the
private ward.

Yan Yi didn’t stay still in his arms again, kicking around with his bare feet.

His little toe kicked against the doorframe, and he suddenly became quiet.

Ten seconds later, his mouth flattened as tears glistened in his eyes.

“Ah.” Lu Shangjin hurriedly squatted down to rub his little toe that hurt
from kicking, “It must hurt, don’t mess around.”

“Don’t wanna go to this toilet anymore.” Yan Yi choked with sobs and
wiped his eyes.

“Alright, let’s go to the one outside.” Lu Shangjin carried him out of the
ward.

When he pushed open the door, Xia Jingtian was crouched on the floor with
his back against the wall.

He just wanted to come to see if he was okay, but didn’t have a position to
visit.
He also had his own reasons for getting involved, for Yan Yi to become like
this. He wanted to redeem himself and would rather risk breaking into PBB
with Lu Shangjin.

He stayed outside for a while, just considering it as if he had been here to

visit.

Xia Jingtian didn’t expect them to come out suddenly. Stunned, he stood up
and fixed his hair in a short time.

Yan Yi’s eyes widened as he studied him, “Kitty.”

Xia Jingtian’s body perked up and leaned against the wall with his hands in
his pockets: “…… lion.”

The little rabbit ears that were raised hung down in fear. Feeling wronged,
Yan Yi sniffed and looked up at Lu Shangjin.

Lu Shangjin gave Xia Jingtian a sidelong glance.

Xia Jingtian scratched his head in confusion. After a long time, he squeezed
out, “Meow.”

When Lu Shangjin returned from taking Yan Yi to the bathroom, Yan Yi

was still looking all around for the kitty.

“He smells so good.” Yan Yi played with his fingers and opened his mouth
to eat the veggie porridge Lu Shangjin was feeding him, muttering to
himself, “Like green grass, like leaves blown by the wind.

Lu Shangjin’s eyes darkened. He held the bowl and remained silent for a
while, then scooped another spoonful, shovelling a piece of greens, and
blowing on it before feeding Yan Yi, “Eat more.”

Yan Yi felt that this alpha was a little upset. He broke away from his fingers
uneasily and comforted him, “You smell good too.”

“Alright, don’t say anymore.” Lu Shangjin clutched the paper tray padded
under the bowl and stirred the vegetable porridge, his voice slightly dull,
“Do you want to eat anything else?”

“I wanna eat carrots.” Yan Yi bit his lips, “Are you angry?”

“I’m not, come baobei.” Lu Shangjin picked him up with one hand and
helped him change into a dry hospital gown, “I’m going to buy you carrots.
Behave yourself and wait for me to come back.”

The whole way out of the ward, he looked like he was running away.

Children often spoke straightforwardly and innocently, in the most truthful

and most hurtful way.

He went to the outside bathroom and washed his face, shaving the stubble
off his chin to try to hide the haggardness.

He looked up and saw Xia Jingtian washing his hands beside him. Seeing
Lu Shangjin looking at him, he raised his eyebrows and said, “Don’t
misunderstand. My ge is talking to Zhong Xiaobing. I’m waiting for him to
go back together.”

The water was still dripping from Lu Shangjin’s chin and hair, droplets
trickling down his neck into the slightly open collar of his shirt.

The scent of oppressive narcissus pheromones spread out. Because of the

continuous overdraft of energy and constantly squeezing soothing
pheromones for Yan Yi the past few days, his glands have dried up, and the
oppressive pressure added to his pheromones wasn’t strong enough.

Like a cluster of wilted narcissus, the crinkled petals competed to be

fragrant with the hundreds of desirable and beautiful flowers all around.

Xia Jingtian was an M2 alpha. When similar oppressive pheromones were

released in front of him, it stimulated the nature of violence and
ruthlessness. At the same time, he released powerful oppression
pheromones, and the smell of baby’s breath flooded the room like lightning.

Lu Shangjin gasped wearily. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes,
pulling back from the strong oppressive force.
“What are you doing?” Xia Jingtian restrained the oppressive pheromone
and rolled up his cuffs. “You’re injured into such a manner, and still looking
for a fight. This is our family’s territory.”

Lu Shangjin wiped the water from his face that had yet to dry. Leaning his
back against the wall, he pressed the glands at the back of his neck. His
throat was raspy and he could only speak properly after coughing.

“How high is your compatibility fit with Yan Yi?”

“You definitely wouldn’t want to hear it.” Xia Jingtian laughed and spread
his hands, “96%”

Lu Shangjin quietly held the edge of the sink. His head buzzed, hurting as
several nerves were broken one after another.

Xia Jingtian stuck his hands in his pockets and raised his chin slightly, “You
should be glad we made a bet earlier that if you brought the stem cells back
alive, I’d quit. With our fit and him not remembering anything right now, he
would have said yes to me pursuing him.”

Would he? He wasn’t sure.

Lu Shangjin heaved the bathroom door shut when he left and drove to buy
carrots for Yan Yi.

It was very eye-catching to see the seemingly tall and imposing alpha
standing in the seasonal vegetables area carefully picking carrots. The shop
assistant didn’t dare to come up and talk, so they stood by the side and
waited for instructions.

Lu Shangjin asked first, “Which one tastes better?”

The shop assistant stared at the deep eye sockets of this alpha with trance,
and hurriedly came back to her senses after being called, “Do you want to
cook saute or stew and curry, sir?”

Lu Shangjin: “Eat raw, as a snack.”

“……Okay, fruit carrots still taste good.” The assistant gave him a
packaged one. Lu Shangjin looked at the fresh watery carrots the size of
small fingers, before taking ten boxes to put into the shopping cart and
pushing away.

He came to the mall a handful of times, the previous several times were
from being dragged by Yan Yi on a whim many years ago.

Yan Yi was a drama queen when he was seventeen, but he was also
extremely cute.

Pushing the shopping cart, he leaned back against Lu Shangjin’s chest and
acted coquettishly, wanting the highest box of cereal.

In fact, he could jump up two flights of stairs with a gentle jump, but he just
wanted to be coquettish and let his alpha indulge him.

Without the tacit understanding of life and death through years of fighting
side by side, with only 75% fit and little trifles of life, would he still fall in
love with me?

Lu Shangjin put the carrots in the shopping cart carefully and neatly, then
went to pick a small carton of yogurt and imported fine beef jerky.

After all, he still had a human body. If he no longer liked to eat meat, he
still had to eat a little. Think of it as grinding teeth. His body could recover
faster. He was too thin, like a palm resting on a snowflake that would
disappear at any time.

On the way back to the hospital, he passed a florist.

The roses placed outside the florist were delicate and Lu Shangjin pulled
over to ask the shopkeeper to wrap a bouquet.

The shopkeeper proudly introduced the flowers, “Drunken Person”, that he

took meticulous care of, to Lu Shangjin. The light to dark red petals nestled
against each other like a drunken beauty looking for someone to confide in,
with unique cuttings and colours.
He spent half a day explaining why this flower cost three hundred yuan a
stalk. It didn’t seem like this alpha was a fool with a lot of money.

Lu Shangjin brought a bouquet of roses back to the ward, and the cold
white ward suddenly had colour.

Yan Yi was lying on the bed obediently playing with Lu Shangjin’s phone.

“Mm, you’re back.” Yan Yi tossed away the phone. He raised his head to
look at Lu Shangjin and froze when he saw the rose in his hand.

He then drew one into his mouth, crunched it, and bit it off to chew.

“Ai,” Lu Shangjin sat next to him helplessly and stroked his head, holding
the flower-chewing rabbit to his lap, “Eat slowly.”

He picked up his phone to see what else Yan Yi had done. Suddenly, his
face crumpled.

Yan Yi had sent a message to Bi Ruijing: ‘I’m hungwyy’ and added a bunch
of random emoticons.

And sent Xia Pingtian a message: Crying.

Bi Ruijing didn’t reply, probably beaten by his wife.

Xia Pingtian replied:

“Jin ge, don’t be so sad.”

 Chap 62

After confirming that his health was stable, Yan Yi was taken home to
recuperate.

The new house wasn’t as spacious as the original villa, but it was very close
to Lu Shangjin’s company.

It was deliberately renovated in the Chinese style. Lu Shangjin had selected

a set of rosewood furniture to put in the new house to dry out the smell for
several days. Now, the baby bunny at home always walked around barefoot,
so the bedroom was covered with a soft wool carpet.

He hired a nanny to take care of Yan Yi as Lu Shangjin was inevitably not

at home sometimes. Leaving the child alone was too dangerous.

He went to An Fei Ya hospital and picked up two strong energy

supplements.

The pharmacist initially advised him to use ordinary energizers, and the
powerful agents were designed specifically to supply A3 grade glands. If
the grade wasn’t enough, forcibly using it would stimulate the body, but
would not cause too much damage.

Lu Shangjin took the medicine to the injection room, where two omega
nurses were dispensing medication to a patient. At the same time, they
noticed the alpha xiansheng who walked into the doorway and glanced at
each other with excitement.

People in the hospital from top to bottom had already noticed this alpha
way earlier as he had been in this hospital for some time. They heard that he
was a friend of their young master, and was just over thirty years old with a
successful career. He had money and visuals. If it weren’t for the fact that
Lu Shangjin was hung up on Yan Yi, he would have noticed the omegas’
hungry tiger’s gaze.

The omega nurse took the medicine and looked at it. She choked,
“Xiansheng, did you take the wrong medicine?”

“No.”

“The side effects will be great and unpleasant…” The omega explained
hesitantly. Generally, during the birth of an omega, some alpha gland
diseases become premature and difficult to use, so powerful energy agents
are used to soothe the pheromone to protect the omega from suffering
during birth.

Lu Shangjin slightly turned his sleeve and looked at his watch, “Get it done
in five minutes.”

Neither potent energizers nor inhibitors should be injected directly around

the gland, but could only be injected intravenously to prevent excessive
stimulation, which can cause periglandular lesions.

The reaction was not as drastic as expected. Lu Shangjin stayed in the

injection room for a while, and the nurse asked him to stay in the hospital
for an hour to observe whether there was any allergic reaction.

He just heard that Dr. Zhong had a lecture on glandular cells in the
screening room, and most of the doctors and nurses who had nothing to do
went there. The esteemed professors sat in the front row, occasionally
looking down to jot down some important points in their notebooks.

Lu Shangjin sat in the last row and listened for a while.

In the middle of the lecture, Dr. Zhong presented a theory that had been
popular for a long time: the theory of higher-grade reproductive instincts,
the pathological dependence of higher-grade omega on the alpha instincts
that mark them.
Lu Shangjin’s heart tightened. His eyebrows knitted together as he slightly
straightened up and focused on the image of the lectern.

Dr. Zhong said that through the research results obtained by leading teams
abroad over the years, it was once again confirmed that higher-grade
dependence is justified. This dependence cannot be removed through
ordinary marker cleansing procedures and will continue until the gland ages
or is damaged.

The direction of their future research was to exclude higher-grade

dependency while enhancing independence, so that a higher-grade omega
could avoid being reduced to an alpha’s accessory.

With each sentence, Lu Shangjin’s face turned whiter. When he came back
to his senses, his palm had been scratched with blood stains by his nails.
His chest felt severely tight, like something was stuck in it. He was so
agitated that his body ached all over and every blood vessel swelled
uncomfortably.

He had also been using this pathological instinct of an omega as a

bargaining chip for arrogance and conceit, determined that Yan Yi would
not leave him.

“Today, when the survival environment of high-grade omegas is

deteriorating year by year, our team is committed to figuring out a new path
to solve the dilemma and make efforts for the healthy continuation of
human genes.” Dr. Zhong took a bow on the stage.

On the guest table, Xia Jingtian was nestled in a chair playing with his cell
phone, and was dragged up forcibly by his brother to applaud.

Lu Shangjin stared at the words “high-grade dependence on instincts”

above the holographic projection and clenched his fist unconsciously, his
knuckles turning white.

His heart was beating extremely fast as he drove home, and there was a
sense of anxiety raging through his body.
When pushing the door in, Lu Shangjin was shaken by a fearful scream, his
head short-circuited as if it was empty for a moment.

He ran inside in a hurry. Yan Yi was shrinking in the corner in extreme fear,
hugging himself into a ball and shivering wildly. The newly hired nanny
was sweating from panic beside him, “What’s the matter!”

There was a juicer still running on the dining table, making a humming
noise.

Lu Shangjin hurriedly turned off the juicer, the buzzing sound stopped, and
only then did Yan Yi stop screaming in terror.

He quickly ran to Yan Yi and picked him up. The shivering rabbit sweated
like he was fished out of the water.

“Good boy, everything’s okay, there’s nothing there.” Lu Shangjin released

a large amount of soothing pheromones, gently rubbing Yan Yi’s hair and
glancing at the nanny, “Go and throw away the juicer.”

The nanny was scared out of her wits and rushed out to do as she was told.

Yan Yi struggled uncomfortably in Lu Shangjin’s arms, biting madly at his

neck.

“Get out- out!” Yan Yi pushed him hard and took the opportunity to kick Lu
Shangjin when he put him on the sofa. He kicked on the wound that had not
healed yet, and Lu Shangjin bit back a sound of pain, his clothes
immediately stained with blood. He grabbed his ankle and pressed it down,
before leaning over and pressing against him, gently kissing the corner of
his lips.

“I’m not leaving.” Lu Shangjin hugged him tightly, the whole living room
was filled with the narcissus scent of soothing pheromones. He cupped Yan
Yi’s face and touched his forehead, comforting him in a muted tone, “It’s
okay, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Dragging out his tearful voice, Yan Yi asked, “When is Jin ge coming to
pick me up?”

Lu Shangjin closed his eyes, “I’ve already picked you up and taken you
home.”

Yan Yi pushed him hard, “I want the little prince in the castle, you leave-
leave.”

He didn’t understand.

At the beginning, Yan Yi stood on his tiptoes to put on the crown embedded
with stars for him, but now he broke it with his own hands.

It turned out that the little prince glowing in Yan Yi’s heart was not him at
all.

Lu Shangjin released more soothing pheromones in a panic.

He took the little rabbit into his arms and kept petting him for fear of losing
him, “He’ll come, be good.”

Yan Yi quieted down, gently grabbed Lu Shangjin’s lapel and whispered

softly, “The little prince will come to take me home.”

Lu Shangjin took him in his arms and put him to sleep, leaning against the
wall with a splitting headache.

The arrogance and conceit of the second-grade differentiated alpha were

completely restrained. For Yan Yi now, whether he was the little prince in
his memory, or the high fit alpha, one might be more attractive to him.

Highly compatible alphas only needed to release a little soothing

pheromone to calm their omegas, while Lu Shangjin had to expend ten to
twenty times more energy to bridge the gap.

He was afraid that Yan Yi would ask him for the ten or twenty year old Lu
Shangjin, but also afraid that Yan Yi would ask him for baby’s breath
pheromones, afraid that Yan Yi missed Xia Jingtian who fits so well with
him.

The dried glands began to heat up and fill up under the effect of the
powerful energetic agents, but at the same time, the blood vessels and
muscles swelled painfully and a strong feeling of nausea churned in his
stomach.

Lu Shangjin shut himself in the bathroom and hugged the toilet bowl as he
vomited again and again. He held himself back from making sounds, so as
not to wake Yan Yi who had just become quiet.

His consciousness was always clear and there was an excessive amount of
drugs squeezing and advancing through his blood vessels, gradually rising
to the glandular area.

Half an hour passed, and Lu Shangjin had already finished vomiting bile.
He rinsed his mouth and washed his face, before sitting on the toilet lid with
his hands on his forehead and froze. He suddenly blocked his eyes, his
broad shoulders trembled slightly.

He conveniently grabbed a handful in the medical kit, fished out a tube of

suppressant needles, broke it off and haphazardly stabbed it into his arm,
letting the pain force himself to wake up a little.

Tiny drops of blood seeped outward along the hole of the needle. Lu
Shangjin leaned weakly against the wall, pressing his forehead against the
cold ceramic tiles.

In front of Yan Yi, he was like a ball of air, trying to squeeze out a little
oxygen to supply him, but he turned a blind eye to him.

Once there was no high-grade dependency anymore, his current self would
already be nothing to Yan Yi.

He regretted marking Yan Yi when he was seventeen.

Would Yan Yi not even like him at all to begin with, and was completely
driven by instinct to be so dependent on him, that he still refused to leave
even though his whole body and his heart hurt so badly?

Oh right. He wanted to follow the spider who marked him before.

Lu Shangjin’s eyes fell in disappointment.

He had been thinking he was favoured all along and still thought that the
omega was deeply infatuated with him.

The bathroom door was suddenly gently pushed open and Yan Yi stood by
the door rubbing his sleepy eyes. The warm light from the living room hit
behind him and shone on Lu Shangjin.

Lu Shangjin subconsciously gathered up his emotions while releasing

soothing pheromones, afraid that his current appearance would scare him.

The little rabbit came in with his lips pursed. He stood in front of him, bent
down and hugged him gently.

“Did my kick hurt you?”

Lu Shangjin’s gaze froze for a moment, then he wrapped his arms around
Yan Yi’s waist and buried his head in his arms.

“A little.”
 Chap 63

Edited and Proofread by: jie

Yan Yi felt sleepy after being held for a while. He laid softly on Lu
Shangjin’s shoulder, with his little rabbit ears lazily resting on his neck.

The wound split open by Yan Yi’s kick and the pain from the medicine
colliding in his blood vessel were cured in an instant.

Lu Shangjin held him up gently. Omegas had thin skeletons and petite
figures, and Yan Yi was even thinner, like a light and soft ball held in his
arms, emitting the faint sweet scent of milk candy.

He carried him back to the bedroom and changed his pyjamas with one arm,
putting him under the covers and tucking him in.

The little rabbit turned over and curled up into a ball on his side in an
insecure posture, with his ears covering his cheeks tightly.

The soothing pheromones that were gradually increasing wrapped around

Yan Yi’s entire body. He smacked his lips, stretched his body, and his
fingertips gently held the corner of Lu Shangjin’s coat.

Lu Shangjin didn’t want to wake him up, so he snuck into the quilt, holding
Yan Yi from behind, and gently pressed his lips against his tender glands.

He couldn’t help but tighten his arms and cling to the rabbit in his embrace.
The concentration of soothing pheromones around him was sufficient, but
Lu Shangjin continued to release more.

It was not only to make Yan Yi feel safe, but also to prove that he was able
to compete against everyone else when it came to the amount and
concentration of pheromones produced.

A wall lamp was lit in the silent bedroom, and the clock ticked gently and
comfortably.

Lu Shangjin encircled him in his arms and looked at him through the warm
yellow light. He thumbed away the little rabbit ears, stroking along the pale
eyebrows to the drooping eyelashes, and his heart felt a little more at ease.

These days, Lu Shangjin had been going back and forth between the
company and home. At most, he had to go home to see him three times a
day.

Recently, there had been some problems in the senior management of the
company. If only work wasn’t so much to make Lu Shangjin so
overstrained, but his heart was worried about the little baby at home, so he
was absent-minded in everything he did.

During the morning meeting, Lu Shangjin got angry because of the

differences in the management method update, and almost started a fight
with several shareholders, which ended badly.

His phone suddenly vibrated as the scene became chaotic. Lu Shangjin

immediately stopped to take a glance; it was really Yan Yi calling.

He parted from the ruckus and went to a corner to answer it. Yan Yi asked
in a whisper on the phone, “Will you be back at noon?”

He sounded in low spirits. He didn’t know why he was so down.

Vice President Zhao came up to him with a copy of the information: “Mr.
Lu, if you insist on changing the current audit mode ……”

Lu Shangjin lowered his head to the receiver and said apologetically, “I’ll
be back. I’m busy right now, baobei, I’ll call you in five minutes, be good.”

He put down his phone, grabbed the document and returned to the
conference table, propping his hands on the tabletop. His voice was low and
clear, “Hold on a moment, give me three minutes to elaborate my
reasoning.”

He temporarily placated the stubborn old fox. On the way back from the
conference hall, he returned several calls back to Yan Yi, but they had gone
unanswered.

When he arrived at the office, Lu Shangjin hurriedly finished the last puff
of his cigarette before putting it out in the ashtray. He wanted to give the
nanny at home a call and had just pressed on the screen, when the nanny
called.

She said Yan Yi had run out.

The nanny auntie cried in a panic. She was an ordinary beta, completely
unable to catch up to Yan Yi who disappeared right out the door.

Lu Shangjin felt his vision going dizzy. He sat on the leather chair to slow
down for a while, staring blankly at the ashtray on the table for a few
seconds.

The last time he lost Yan Yi, he was also in the office, in the same location,
the same desktop full of cigarette butts and ashes.

The same unreachable phone calls and panicked anxiety.

Lu Shangjin went downstairs without bothering to take his coat.

His glands had just been injected with a powerful energy agent, so at his
current level of recovery, it wasn’t enough to support his use of his M2
tracking ability.

When he returned home, Yan Yi wasn’t there. The surveillance system of

the estate was broken, so he could only drive around to find him.

Where could a small child run to? There was no trace of him after searching
through the housing estate. Lu Shangjin clenched the steering wheel
nervously, the leather sheath imprinted with sweat marks.
He was going crazy as he drove through every inch of land in Chang Hui
city.

Lu Shangjin leaned against the headrest, a dozen cigarette butts

accumulated in the ashtray. He exhausted the last cigarette in the wrinkled
cigarette box, numbly stubbing it out with his fingertips. Closing his eyes
tightly and burying his head in the crook of his arm, he laid motionless
against the steering wheel.

“Don’t go…”

He really had been doing his best to make up for it. Maybe it wasn’t perfect
now, but as long as he was given time, he would make up for all the things
he owed to Yan Yi little by little.

Please come back, you no longer have to forgive me.

Lu Shangjin no longer wanted to ask for forgiveness from Yan Yi. As long
as he came back, even if his mind was young for all his life, he didn’t have
to remember him or love him. As long as he was willing to come home, as
long as he could be carefree for the rest of his life.

How difficult is it to love someone who doesn’t love you in return? He just
wanted to touch his cheek after wading across mountains and sea of lava.

This was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, and the only hope for
Lu Shangjin to survive.

The water dripping from his chin blotted out two to three tear marks on his
trousers, his voice changing in tone as he broke down, “Yan Yi…Yan Yi…I
was wrong. Aren’t you A3? Wake me up from the beginning…”

When he looked up and blinked, the moment when the car that was
blocking his line of sight drove away, Lu Shangjin saw a person lying under
the rose vine window in the residential area across the street.

He couldn’t care less about parking his car. Pulling on the brakes, he ran
out, anxiously navigating through the turbulent traffic on the road and was
nearly hit several times. The frightened owner of the car after hitting the
emergency brakes poked his head out of the window and cursed him for
being a psycho.

Lu Shangjin stumbled over the fence of the green belt, staggering over the
iron fence and carefully picked up Yan Yi who was lying on the ground.

The little rabbit’s glands were still too weak to support consumption and
had probably fainted here after running out of energy.

“Baobei, don’t scare me.” Lu Shangjin gathered Yan Yi into his arms and
caressed him, releasing a large amount of soothing pheromones to replenish
and restore his energy-depleted glands.

In his hand, Yan Yi clutched a rose pulled off from the iron window. The
petals were a little loose from the fall.

Completely disregarding his image, Lu Shangjin sat on the ground, his

clean and neat trousers stained with dirt and grass as he let Yan Yi rest
against the crook of his shoulder.

“Hm.” Yan Yi half opened his eyes sleepily. Seeing Lu Shangjin’s face so
close, he froze for a few seconds.

Then he brought the rose to Lu Shangjin, squinting his eyes happily and
smiling sweetly.

“I kicked you yesterday. Can I give this to you as an apology?”

In a daze, Lu Shangjin took the rose that had lost a few petals. He opened
his mouth and said in a choked voice, “…thank you.”

Yan Yi didn’t know why he was attracted to this kind of flower. In his
impression, it was a meaningful flower.

He ate Lu Shangjin’s roses, so by all reason, he should return one to him.

“It’s not your fault.” Lu Shangjin clutched the rose tightly and sniffed it
deeply, before inserting it into his shirt pocket.
“Does it still hurt?” Yan Yi broke away his fingers and asked shyly. He put
his lips together and blew close to the wound on Lu Shangjin’s shoulder, his
little ears tilted up shyly, whispering in embarrassment, “I can touch your
ears for you, don’t be sad.”

A faint smile finally revealed on Lu Shangjin’s gloomy face as he gently

pinched the little rabbit’s ear.

Yan Yi lowered his head and his cheeks tinged red, his sensitive little rabbit
ears curled up, pulling away from Lu Shangjin’s hand shyly.

Lu Shangjin pressed close to his ear and asked, “Can I kiss your ear?”

“…” Yan Yi bit his lips in embarrassment, his blood-filled hot little rabbit
ears gently hit Lu Shangjin’s lips, then immediately rolled back as he
muttered, “You’ve kissed it.”

“Good boy, let’s go home.” Lu Shangjin exhaled deeply and carried Yan Yi
back to the car before fastening the seat belt.

Yan Yi hugged his legs as he sat in the passenger seat, gripping his little
ears in regret. How could he casually let an alpha kiss his ears?

Lu Shangjin occasionally inclined his head to look at him, reaching out and
touching his head, “What do you want to eat for dinner?”

“Make mixed chrysanthemum with sesame paste for me.”

“Is auntie’s cooking not good enough that you even need me to make such
dishes that don’t require technical skills?”

“The one you make…has the smell of narcissus in it.” Yan Yi blinked as he
carefully recollected the pleasant flavour.

Lu Shangjin’s eyes fell on the distant traffic lights, his nose turning sour.

The smell of narcissus. Did it really smell good?

After taking Yan Yi home and asking him carefully during dinner time, did
he only find out that Yan Yi had broken the ice-crystal-like jade flying eagle
ornament in the bedroom, and had called him to admit his mistake.

When Yan Yi finished his shower and returned to the bedroom smelling
good, he saw Lu Shangjin sitting under the lamp, holding the flying eagle
ornament with broken wings, and concentrating on applying non-marking
jade glue to the broken surface.

Yan Yi carefully walked over, climbed on the chair and sat down before
leaning over the edge of the table to look at Lu Shangjin.

“It must be expensive…can it still be fixed?”

“This isn’t expensive.” Lu Shangjin’s dexterous fingers filled the broken

part with pieces of fine jade bits one by one. He glanced at Yan Yi, his gaze
gentle, “Be careful next time, don’t cut your hand.”

The real expensive thing couldn’t be fixed after it was broken. It could only
be soothed year after year to make up for it, so that the sharp wounds
gradually smoothed out and left less pain.

Next to him, it became quiet for a moment. Lu Shangjin lifted his head. Yan
Yi was leaning on the table focusing all his attention on folding paper.

After a while, the little rabbit held up a paper crane to him and quietly
placed it in his pocket.

He then crawled onto the bed and laid down, obediently sticking up his
little tail.

There was a shock to Lu Shangjin’s heart.

He went over and sat on the edge of the bed, gently petting his head.

Yan Yi relaxed, putting his head on his lap, his soft cheek squeezed out of
shape.
It wasn’t until three months later when he took Yan Yi to An Fei Ya hospital
for a review. Dr. Zhong brought Lu Shangjin a copy of the examination
report and said with relief, “He has recovered beyond my expectations.”

“The glands are steadily maturing and are nearly the size of a sixteen-year-
old’s.”
 Chap 64

Edited and Proofread by: jie

“It’s an honour to work with President Lu this time.”

“You’re welcome.”

Lu Shangjin and a female omega customer came out of the company

building together. The omega’s hair was a dark brown wave draped over her
shoulder. She was dressed smartly and elegantly, holding a black folder in
her hand.

They talked for a while about things unrelated to work as they walked out
of the company. When the omega saw the wedding ring on the ring finger
of Lu Shangjin’s left hand, she asked with a light smile, “Is President Lu
married?”

“Over ten years.” Lu Shangjin’s fingers rubbed the ring surface, his eyes
suddenly changed from strict to gentle, soft as if warm water was flowing.

By Friday, Lu Shangjin cleaned up all the matters of the week in advance.

He left work early and planned to buy sea bass stew for Yan Yi to drink.

The omega covered her face as she smiled, “Your lover must also be a very
good person to have met an alpha like you.”

Without being modest, Lu Shangjin accepted with pleasure, thinking, he has

simply charmed me to death, while opening the door for the omega.

When the omega’s car drove out of sight, another car was revealed on the
opposite side of the road that was blocked. Lu Shangjin froze in place and
the corner of his eyebrows twitched hard– The door of the explosive bright
red ferrari slowly opened. An omega wearing mirrored sunglasses got out
of the driver’s seat and leaned against the car door.

Yan Yi leaned against the car door and looked at Lu Shangjin for a while.
He held his breath as he sat on the front hood of the car, crossing his legs
with a death stare in the direction of the car that had just driven away.

Lu Shangjin picked Yan Yi up from the front hood of the car, his right hand
cupping his jaw and tilting it up, “What are you driving it out for?”

Yan Yi frowned, “I picked a nice one out of your garage. You’re the one
who said, ‘what’s yours is mine.’”

Right. Lu Shangin forgot that Yan Yi’s fingerprint and iris had previously
been entered into the villa security system, so he could just open the garage
and key cabinet as he wanted.

“Come up,” Lu Shangjin got into the driver’s seat, “Children can’t be on the
road, it’s too dangerous.”

Yan Yi quickly wormed into the passenger seat, grabbed Lu Shangjin’s tie,
and pulled him towards himself, “What’s up with sending the omega off
just now?”

Lu Shangjin took the sunglasses off of him, tutting as he took measure of

him, “Why are you getting more and more complacent recently? I’ve
spoiled you, haven’t I?”

“I’m asking you.” Yan Yi tugged on Lu Shangjin’s tie, his rabbit ears
standing up in alert, eyes unhappy, “Who is she? I heard her voice when I
called you the other day. You didn’t even come home this afternoon, have
you been with her the whole time?”

“Yes.” Lu Shangjin propped his forearm against Yan Yi’s seat, letting him
tug on his tie, and lowered his head to whisper in his ear, “I’ve been with
her this week.”
As Yan Yi heard this, his pupils quivered and his hands loosened a little, the
wrinkled tie slipping out of his palm.

“Talking about business together, baobei.” Lu Shangjin hugged him before

picking up the lost hanging rabbit ears and kissed them, “I’m sorry, I was
just kidding.”

Yan Yi’s expression stiffened. He took his little ears and jerked them out of
Lu Shangjin’s hands. He then sat sideways on the passenger seat, hugging
his legs with his back to Lu Shangjin, feeling angry from embarrassment.

“I was wrong, I was joking,” Lu Shangjin put his hand on his shoulder, but
Yan Yi impatiently shook it off.

Lu Shangjin smiled helplessly and drove off.

“To make it up to you, I’ll take you to a fun place.” Lu Shangjin pulled his
tie loose with one hand and casually tossed it to the side before fishing out a
box of Timothy hay from his pocket, stuffing it under the little rabbit’s
snow-white tail ball.

The little tail shook impatiently.

Lu Shangjin pulled out two more fruit carrots from another pocket.

Yan Yi turned around, picked up the box of Timothy hay and took the
carrot, taking a bite:

“…What fun place?”

Lu Shangjin scratched his chin, “Are you going or not? If not, we’ll go
home to eat.”

“Go, go go go.” Yan Yi’s eyes brightened, pushing all the vinegar he had
just eaten to the back of his mind.

It was knowledge to make sixteen year old teenagers happy. Lu Shangjin’s

time and mind outside of his work had mostly been focused on this
knowledge. The raising manual of lop-eared rabbits was no longer
applicable.

His little rabbit had now grown into a cool teenager.

When the car drove into the suburban tracks of Chang Hui, Yan Yi plastered
against the glass, looking at the field full of sports cars and racing cars in
amazement, his eyes shining.

Lu Shangjin got out of the car and said hello to Bi Ruijing who was walking
this way.

Bi Ruijing walked over with a thin cigarette in his left hand. He finished the
front part of the cigar with a few puffs, and savored the powerful smoke of
the last part.

“Why did you think of coming here to play?”

Lu Shangjin’s gaze swept behind him. Yan Yi was chewing on carrots in the
passenger seat looking at him.

“Came to make a formal apology to our little friend.”

“How disgusting, so disgusting that I’m getting goosebumps all over.” Bi

Ruijing frowned and sneered, his gaze firmly drawn in by the beautiful and
eye-catching red Ferrari not too far away, “You drove this car to run from
me? This apology is sincere enough, come back and let me drive to satisfy
my craving.”

Bi Ruijing’s fascination with cars could be on par with how captivated he

was to his wife. He had built a track on the outskirts of Chang Hui himself
so it was convenient to play with those like-minded rich second generation
people.

“Recently, Ping-zi has started worrying about his little brother again. I
heard that Xiao Jing-zi skipped class and went to Nan Qi, leaving behind an
address to a bar.”
“What’s up, is Yan Yi’s body doing better?” Bi Ruijing leaned against the
wall, looking at Yan Yi up and down with a bit of pity, “He was such a good
A3.”

“Pretty good, and besides, I never looked at him at that grade.” Lu Shangjin
picked up a navigation map and looked at it.

“That’s right, there’s nothing good about being a high grade.” Bi Ruijing
laughed, “The one in my house tramples me all day long.”

“Hey, sister-in-law is coming.” Lu Shangjin put down the navigation map

as he looked through Bi Ruijing and behind him.

Bi Ruijing immediately snuffed out the cigarette and turned around. There
was nothing behind him. He froze for a moment before coming back to his
senses and cursed, “Bastard, I’ll double the gas price.”

The steep slopes and sharp turns of the suburban track were not much, but
the speed of the ferrari was enough to be stimulating. Yan Yi was so excited
that his face turned red as he grabbed Lu Shangjin’s arm, occasionally
screaming loudly when they turned a sharp corner and giggling afterwards.

The scenery outside the window quickly disintegrated into a billowing line.
Lu Shangjin averted his gaze to take a glance at the greatly delighted little
rabbit, the corner of his lips raising slightly.

Suddenly, Yan Yi casually asked him, “How come I can never catch up to
you? If you have any techniques, please teach me.”

Lu Shangjin’s expression suddenly froze.

In a trance, he was once again sitting on the edge of a cliff in Yungas road,
the look in Yan Yi’s eyes was gloomy and confused, “Jin ge, how come I
can never catch up to you?”

The car was parked at the lake. Lu Shangjin pushed Yan Yi to the side of
the rock, holding his shoulders with both hands and looking down at him
deeply.
There was no moon tonight. The starry sky shrouded above the track was as
bright and brilliant as Yongas road, the weak starlight spreading a faint
layer on Yan Yi’s cheeks.

Yan Yi tilted his head slightly, the vague impression of looking at each
other from afar surging in his mind. Inside his brain, it was like an exam
paper with the answers covered up by correction fluid. Every time he turned
the page, he felt uncertain and yet a sense of deja vu.

Only three months were flipped on the calendar. However, Yan Yi felt that
many years had passed. For those who hadn’t experienced it, this alpha was
trying to make him his own.

He had also played a song for himself at home last night, and Yan Yi still
clearly remembered the melody of “Utakata” and the mottled scars on this
alpha’s hands.

In this vague impression, there was a little prince playing the piano on the
stars, but the far distant music was not for him.

The eyes of the alpha in front of him were full of sentimental attachment
and doting. Every time he touched him, it was with patience and restraint,
and he would hold himself tightly when he couldn’t help it, saying sorry
again and again.

Just like now. His pupils were trembling, and he suddenly hugged him
tightly, the muscle-tight arms making it difficult for Yan Yi to breathe.

What a pitiful alpha. He must have lost something precious before that he
was trembling with fear, like a traveller cautiously walking on ice, afraid of
falling.

Yan Yi patted his waist lightly, “So tight…”

Lu Shangjin hurriedly loosened his grip. He lowered his head, his forehead
pressed against his, and said in a muffled voice, “I don’t need you to chase
after me anymore, not in the future.”
His heart was beating hard. In the silent night, the muffled thud could be
heard through his shirt. Yan Yi nervously raised his hand to touch it, and in
the left pocket of the shirt was the paper crane Yan Yi folded.

There was no wind at night. The Milky Way spilled onto the lake behind
them, falling into Yan Yi’s eyes, glistening brightly.

He grabbed Yan Yi’s hand, which was so young and inexperienced that he
hid it behind his back, and clasped it with his ten fingers. Lowering his
head, he gently kissed between his brows, then kissed along the bridge of
the nose to the tip of a small, upright nose, before kissing the corner of his
soft lips.

A low, slightly muffled voice pressed against Yan Yi’s ear for consent:

“Can I kiss?”

Yan Yi lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes trembling. His soft lips parted
slightly, and Lu Shangjin immediately took his upper lip in excitement, a
small ear was also held in the warm and wide palm.

The kiss from the little prince was sympathetic, a reward for looking down
from a commanding height which was unable to convey the enthusiastic
romantic feeling like now, unable to convey the pain and cherishment.

Lu Shangjin sucked slightly on his upper lip, then tenderly took his lower
lip. The tip of his tongue easily invaded the mouth, licking through his teeth
and intertwining their tongues together, as they exchanged a hot and
lingering wet kiss.

“Yan Yan, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you……”

The rose you sent me is still in bloom, can I be the one chasing the light?
 Chap 65

Edited and Proofread by: jie

In order to balance out the growth rate of the glands at a stable recovery
state, Dr. Zhong took Yan Yi off the growth medication for a month. During
this period, the only soothing pheromones he got were given by Lu
Shangjin which gave him the energy he needed for recovery.

One month later.

Lu Shangjin opened the closet in the bedroom. Yan Yi was curled up in a

ball hiding in the corner, using clothes to bury himself up as if nothing
happened.

“Yan Yan, we agreed on this last night, behave.” Lu Shangjin bent and
reached into the closet, felt Yan Yi’s raised tail and pulled gently, “Come
out.”

Yan Yi played dead.

Lu Shangjin picked away the tangled clothes and dug Yan Yi out, lifting
him out of the closet with his hands under his armpits, “It’ll all be fine in a
moment.”

Yan Yi couldn’t move as he was thrown over the shoulder, his hind legs
dangling, “I don’t want to go to the hospital.”

“We have to go even if you don’t want to.” Lu Shangjin gently patted his
butt, “I’m right here with you, what are you scared of.”

By the time the dawdling and coaxing was done, it was already two in the
afternoon when they arrived at An Fei Ya Hospital.
Yan Yi nervously laid in Lu Shangjin’s arms, clutching Lu Shangjin’s arm
hard, his ball of a tail shaking.

His pants had just been pulled down half an inch when Yan Yi got scared
and held down the waistband, leaning on Lu Shangjin’s neck, “Don’t, this
one really hurts, it really really hurts. I want to go home to eat. I’ll bake you
a cake tonight ok?”

A few days ago, Yan Yi learned to bake a cake on a whim. When he

brought a piece of strawberry cake to Lu Shangjin, who had just come back
from work, Lu Shangjin was moved to the core.

From then on, Yan Yi learned to use cake as a way to sweeten up Lu

Shangjin.

“You still have to get this injection.” Lu Shangjin gave him a hug and
released soothing pheromones for him.

Every time he had been taken to get growth hormone shots, he threw away
half his life. The usually naughty and jumpy rabbit wilted and became
heartbreaking to look at after getting the injection.

After getting his injection, the little rabbit would be red around his eye
sockets, and softly lay down in Lu Shangjin’s arms to sob.

“Why do I have to get injections every month?” Yan Yi wiped his eyes and
choked up while asking, “Have I got an illness?”

“No, don’t think carelessly.” Lu Shangjin held his head and kissed his brow.
“Can you walk? Let’s go home.”

The cool sixteen-year-old felt ashamed to cry in front of others and could
no longer let his alpha carry him away.

Outside the entrance of the hospital, he wiped his face and quietly slipped
his hand into Lu Shangjin’s palm, trying to hold his alpha, but his hand was
released.
Yan Yi froze, looking at the loosened hand in a daze. His heart suddenly
empty, unable to tell where this familiar sense of loss came from.

He came back to his senses and looked down at his feet. His loose shoelaces
had been tied.

Lu Shangjin got up, took Yan Yi’s hand naturally and headed towards his
car, “Why don’t you sit in the back, you can lie down for a while, or else
your butt will hurt.”

Humiliated, Yan Yi climbed in, “Stop mentioning it!”

“Sorry baobei.” Lu Shangjin smiled as he closed the door and returned to

the driver seat.

Yan Yi laid on his stomach in the back seat, and through the glass, he
watched a man coming out from behind an old ginkgo plant by the entrance
of An Fei Ya hospital.

He had a familiar face, but like other vague memories, he couldn’t find the
words to tell who it was. He could only remember the peach blossom eyes
that carried a hint of a smile.

Just looking at him sent an inexplicable chill down his spine. Yan Yi
recoiled back in the back seat, sneaking up behind Lu Shangjin, and
reached up from his seat to hug him.

Lu Shangjin reached up with one hand and touched his face. “It’s
dangerous, lay back down on your stomach.”

The alpha standing next to the ginkgo walked out, staring at Lu Shangjin’s
car as it left his sight from the hospital entrance.

Shao Wenjing had been standing there for a long time, but the wind was too
cold so he went to a nearby coffee shop to sit for a while.

When the coffee arrived, he was still staring at the street outside the glass.
A few days ago, he received news that someone had seen Lu Shangjin with
Yan Yi going in and out of An Fei Ya hospital and that their visits were
fixed at the beginning of each month. So he found a chance to come, if only
he could take Yan Yi away without bloodshed, that would be perfect.

He only found out after he arrived that the lop-eared rabbit omega’s glands
were damaged from a gunshot wound.

The coffee beans in the store didn’t taste good and were casually pushed to
the side by Shao Wenjing.

When the gland was damaged, the mark he left behind had disappeared, and
that odd attachment faded with it.

What surprised him more than the damage to Yan Yi’s glands was Lu
Shangjin’s willingness to go to PBB and grab stem cell samples for him.

He didn’t believe it at first, until he just saw Lu Shangjin squatting on the

ground to tie Yan Yi’s shoelaces.

It was such a ridiculous act, he would never do such a thing in his life.

He felt a layer of constraints wrapped around his body was pulled off, and
he felt relieved but also a sense of helpless guilt in his heart for no reason.

His phone vibrated, Wenchi had sent a text message, “The day after
tomorrow at nine o ‘clock in the morning is the parent-teacher meeting,
don’t forget.”

Shao Wenjing clicked his screen off, took the car keys and left.

At eight o ‘clock in the evening, Lu Shangjin had a situation at his company

so he left to attend to it but did not return even when the nanny clocked out.
Yan Yi let her go home as he laid on his stomach in front of the floor-to-
ceiling window while he read and watched the bright lights outside.

In a park near their new neighbourhood, the lights lit up in the evening and
children went to feed the pigeons in the square with corn and crushed up
nuts that they bought.
Yan Yi rested his chin on his hand, distracted, the tip of his pen
unconsciously scribbling three words “Lu Shangjin” in the margin of the
book.

He stared at the name he had written and felt a sudden pain in his stomach.

Yan Yi shivered, gathering his clothes with a bit of fear and hurriedly
scribbled over the name into a black spot.

Just the sight of this inexplicably familiar name made him feel depressed
inside.

At 8:15pm, Lu Shangjin still hadn’t returned home. The house was empty
and silent. Yan Yi rubbed the sweat off his palms and suddenly thought of
looking for a phone, wanting to call him.

Before he found a phone, the whole house suddenly went dark, so dark that
he couldn’t see his fingers if his arm was outstretched in front of him.

His eyes had not yet adjusted to the darkness of the blackout, he could not
see anything, and everything outside the floor-to-ceiling windows had
become a slab of black darkness as well.

Yan Yi froze and sat down on the ground, creeping gingerly backwards into
the corner until his back touched the wall. He made himself retract
carefully, stretching the hem of his nightgown to its longest length, and
hiding his curled toes inside the hem.

The electricity should be back on soon, right?

Yan Yi still wanted to find a phone to call his alpha, but he did not dare to
leave the corner, nor dared to close his eyes or keep them open. In front of
him was just a dark mass, like something was coming to suck him in.

When vision is obscured by darkness, the other senses become extremely

sensitive. Yan Yi could hear the noise of clocks, which gradually became
the chaos of gunfire in his mind.
He nervously pressed on the dull bullet scar on body which still gave off a
faint hint of pain.

“Don’t come here…” Yan Yi shut his eyes in horror, as something

approached him and grabbed onto his ankle.

Yan Yi was almost scared out of his mind when suddenly a pair of arms was
wrapped around him, and soothing pheromones cloaked his body.

Lu Shangjin picked him up, gently patting his back, “I’m here, it’s okay, it’s
just an electronic repair.”

He heard the little rabbit in his arms sniffle while clinging onto him like a
lifeline.

Yan Yi held him very very tightly. He did have an alpha. A warm,
dependable alpha, strong and gentle, who would protect him from harm.

Not getting hurt by “Lu Shangjin”.

Lu Shangjin didn’t know what he was thinking about, only thinking that he
was scared about the power cut. So he held him as he laid in bed, spooning
and petting him.

“I worked overtime today. I’ll review it.” Lu Shangjin, afraid the room was
too quiet, murmured to him, “Let’s go out to play this weekend. Write down
any place you want to go to. Leave it to me if you can’t think of anything.”

“Ge ge.” Yan Yi interrupted him lightly.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Shangjin petted him over and over.

“I’m scared.” Yan Yi buried his head into Lu Shangjin’s chest, holding his
hand tightly.

Lu Shangjin felt that something was up, “What are you scared about?”

Scared that you’re too similar to the person I hate.

Yan Yi didn’t say it out loud. He crawled onto Lu Shangjin and straddled
him, as if to make sure that the alpha in front of him was unconditionally
pampered, he held his cheek and kissed him.

He mustn’t become that person, Yan Yi pleaded from his heart.

The little rabbit was affectionate and proactive today. He was straddling Lu
Shangjin, grinding on him through the fabric of their clothes, his breathing
hot and fast when leaning in for a kiss.

Lu Shangjin stroked the base of his tail and in exchange, the omega’s body
responded with a small spasm.

“My tail is… very sensitive…” Yan Yi stuck to Lu Shangjin’s neck,

trembling and panting, “My ears also want…”

Lu Shangjin kissed the soft, quivering rabbit’s ear, only to realise as an

afterthought that his omega was in heat when the sweet, soft, creamy-
flavoured courtship pheromones wrapped around his glands.

He was 17 years old.

Lu Shangjin rolled over, pinning Yan Yi under his body, folding his legs up
to his chest.

The alpha’s breathing grew heavy as he became induced by the omega’s

courtship pheromones. The pheromones in the bedroom suddenly
thickened, filling the alpha up with an overwhelming feeling of love he
couldn’t control.

Yan Yi took Lu Shangjin’s hand and put it on his cock which was raised
between his legs, leading him to rub lightly while saying softly, “Touch
me.”

For exactly half a year, Lu Shangjin could only rely on inhibitors when he
was in a rut. He knew Yan Yi had gone through more time in heat alone
than he had, which was his own fault. But the alpha’s rut period made him
inherently more violent and unbearable than the omega’s heat period.
He couldn’t resist having his beloved omega under him.

So like a hawk swooping down with sharp claws clamping down on a weak
little rabbit, Lu Shangjin uncontrollably kissed his neck, trailing down and
kissing his whole body, and finally taking his cock into his mouth to suck.

When being sucked, Yan Yi was well behaved, because he hadn’t done it
for a long time, so it hurt like he was about to split open at the seams.

The little rabbit bit his lip, not daring to cry out. In his memory, this kind of
pain could only be suffered alone.

Lu Shangjin lowered his head to kiss his quivering eyelashes, “We won’t do
it if it hurts, I’ll help you come, I can also use fingers for behind as well. I’ll
use inhibitors.”

Yan Yi held him tightly by the neck, “Can you keep pampering me from
now on, don’t like other people. Don’t become… that person I hate the
most.”

“I’ll only love Yan Yan.” Lu Shangjin replied wholeheartedly, his actions
becoming more gentle to save him from some pain.

He formed a knot inside him, kissed the side of his neck, and gave the 17
year old the most tender, intoxicating sex.

Edited and Proofread by: fel, cream

Lu Shangjin came back from work, bringing a strawberry tiramisu for Yan
Yi.

When he left this morning, the little rabbit was still asleep. Lu Shangjin
didn’t want to wake him, so he just kissed his forehead and lips gently. He
poured a glass of water and placed it at the head of the bed as well, right
where he could reach out his hand and reach.

Upon hearing his footsteps, Yan Yi would run down to the porch and wait
for him, excitedly holding his waist and saying welcome back.

Lu Shangjin looked at the empty rooms. The nanny was busy in the kitchen,
she pulled open the door while wiping her hands and replying, “Yan Yan
has been in the bedroom, he hasn’t come out all day.”

The smile on Lu Shangjin’s face dropped a bit, paying no mind to change

clothes, he hurried upstairs and knocked on the closed bedroom door.

The sound of a chair moving came from the room, but no one answered.

Lu Shangjin knocked again, rolling up the cuffs of his shirt anxiously, “Yan
Yan, why is the door locked? Come out and eat.”

Through the bedroom door, Yan Yi’s voice replied speedily, “You go eat by
yourself, I’m not hungry.”

By the sound of it, he’s lost his temper again.

Lu Shangjin found a paperclip, stuck it in the lock, gave the door a gentle
push and walked in.

Yan Yi was sitting next to the wardrobe mirror with his head down. After
hearing the door open, he frowned and looked back at it, “I said I’m not
hungry, why did you just come into my room again.”

Lu Shangjin locked the door, placing the things in his hands on the
bookshelf. Without giving an explanation, he picked Yan Yi up from the
chair, sat on the side of the bed, and placed him so that he was sitting on his
lap.

“Throwing a tantrum again.” Lu Shangjin lowered his head and kissed his
ear, “Does looking into the mirror not make you feel any better? You’re
such a cute little o.”

Yan Yi leaned into his chest but didn’t reply. He impatiently swung away
his little rabbit ears, not allowing him to kiss them.

Lu Shangjin coaxed him warmly for a long time before Yan Yi asked
lightly, “What gives you the right to not mark me?”

If an alpha does not leave a mark after making love to an omega, it meant
that the alpha doesn’t want to be responsible for him, they don’t want to
give emotional care nor have a connection with the omega, they don’t want
to be marked because it would limit their freedom, and they don’t want to
start a family with the omega.

Lu Shangjin remembered a similar question, when Yan Yi was 24, he was

cleansed of a mark. From then on, he had only begged himself to mark him
again occasionally when he lost control of his emotions.

Lu Shangjin only just understood that this was what Yan Yi most looked
forward to.

If he had known earlier how important the mark was to Yan Yi, he would
have marked him, even if he had to spend more energy protecting him.
Now, Yan Yi has a chance to grow up again starting from childhood. He
should have the chance to make a choice from the heart.

Yan Yi should have the power to determine whether to love or leave, and
not be driven by a dependence to become an alpha’s property.

Yan Yi felt Lu Shangjin’s hesitation, thinking that he got used perfunctorily

and deceived by an alpha’s sexual desires.

He struggled out of Lu Shangjin’s arms, “Let go. Love mark or no love

mark, laozi doesn’t care.”

“Where’d you learn those bad words, who are you a laozi to?” Lu Shangjin
put his arms around him, forcefully turning the little rabbit so that he was
facing him.

Lu Shangjin placed the dessert box and a small bouquet of roses on the
bookshelf into his hands, cupped his cheeks, and rubbed his thumb across
the corners of his eyes.

“I don’t want it…” His rabbit ears drooped. He said no, yet he held the gift
tightly.

The tip of Lu Shangjin’s nose was placed gently against Yan Yi’s face, his
big strong palm clasped Yan Yi’s hand that held the dessert box in the palm
of his hand.

“I promise you, if by the time you’re 27 and you still want me to mark you,
I won’t hesitate.” Lu Shangjin’s arm tightened, letting the little rabbit in
close to his chest, “Before then, you can mark me.”

Lu Shangjin gave Yan Yi a hug, who had stopped struggling, “After you
bite, Ge will be yours forever.”

The alpha’s gland was not marked, meaning that the marking would be a
one-way action from the alpha to the omega. The alpha gland simply
doesn’t have the structure at all to receive a mark and form an emblem.

But what else could Lu Shangjin do to coax his baby rabbit?

He placed Yan Yi on the side of the bed, knelt on one knee and lowered his
head, exposing his alpha glands in front of Yan Yi.

This action was like a beast turning over onto its belly, exposing his throat
and offering up the most vulnerable part of itself with unconditional and
absolute confidence.

Yan Yi gently touched Lu Shangjin’s glands, a nice scent of narcissus

staining all over his fingertips.

He lowered his head and gave a kiss, like he was hesitating.

“It’s okay baobei, don’t worry and bite, just don’t break it. If it breaks, Ge
can’t take care of you.”

Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Yi bit him roughly on his glands,
even though the omega didn’t have sharp canine teeth, at this moment, Lu
Shangjin’s whole body went numb, like a beast who got a trap snapped onto
his neck.

Alpha glands are used for courtship and fighting; no sense of satisfaction or
comfort comes to it being bitten, only instinctive anger and resistance.

“…” Lu Shangjin forcefully tolerated the pain coming from his glands.
After Yan Yi’s mouth let go, he immediately knelt down to the floor. A
hand gripped the edge of the bed and the other was pressed against his
gland, the pain was blinding.

No mark was formed on the gland, just an upper and lower row of small
rabbit teeth marks were left behind. Fortunately, the bite force of rabbits
were weak, and Yan Yi’s bite wasn’t aimed at killing him, so no blood was
drawn.

This sharp pain was comparable to walking and suddenly kicking your little
toe against the foot of a sofa or like being kicked in the guts.

He looked back and glanced at the little rabbit who was sitting calmly at the
edge of the bed, watching him while he rubbed his fingertips together.
“Hiss…” Lu Shangjin took a break from covering his gland and simply sat
on the ground, reaching out to touch Yan Yi’s face, “Are you feeling better
now?”

Yan Yi looked at the teeth marks at the back of Lu Shangjin’s neck, nodding
his head a little.

Lu Shangjin looked up at him, pinched his face and gave a bitter smile,
“Let’s go- let’s go downstairs to eat.”

“Wait…” Yan Yi caught up to him and helped him take off his tie, hung it in
his closet and sheepishly took glances at Lu Shangjin’s glands.

Lu Shangjin thought he was feeling concerned for him, his heart secretly
felt happy for a bit, and he would be willing even if the little rabbit were to
bite him more.

Yan Yi unexpectedly got a pen and drew a small Tuzki on Lu Shangjin’s

glands, making it so that it was now an emblem that has left a mark.

He gave Lu Shangjin a pat on the shoulder, “Don’t erase it. I want everyone
to know that you’re my alpha.”

.Lu Shangjin gave a mischievous smile, pressed Yan Yi onto the bed and
smothered him in a hard kiss until the little rabbit gasped for help before
releasing the kiss.

“You clever little thing1.” Lu Shangjin clasped Yan Yi’s wrists backwards
like scissors, staring into the pale eyes of the man under him, “Next month,
there’s a jewellery show that I’m organising. Just stand by me, everyone
will know that I’m your alpha then.”

Yan Yi’s eyes glowed, “You’re going to let them see Tuzki?”

“…I can let people I’m close to see it…” Lu Shangjin seriously didn’t want
to see #Lu ShangjinTuzki trending.

“Oh, then I’ll set a reminder.” Yan Yi flipped out his phone, taking a selfie
with Lu Shangjin’s gland, the scissorhands playfully poked his cheeks.
Lu Shangjin turned over, hugging Yan Yi from behind, and smiled at the
front camera.

The self-admiring little rabbit even used some filters. Lu Shangjin went
through the pictures, so many were taken. There were intimate photos of
them holding hands and kissing cheeks.

“I like you.” Yan Yi said in his arms, looking up and kissing his chin, “My
beloved.”

“Beloved…” Lu Shangjin carefully felt out this form of address, his heart
softened to the point of being able to be shaped into anything.

Lu Shangjin rested his chin on his shoulder, asking with a hint of dismay,
“Will you still like me when you’re 27?”

“I will.” Yan Yi’s eyes curved.

Lu Shangjin gave a smile as if he had been given comfort and kissed him on
the ear, “Go wash your hands, dinner time.”

Yan Yi happily ran out to wash his hands, Lu Shangjin looked at the two
people in the picture on Yan Yi’s phone. He sat on the side of the bed and
zoned out for a bit.

He managed to force the same smile as the one in the photo. Uneasily
reaching into his pocket, he clutched the wedding ring inside that matched
the wedding ring on his ring finger. The sweat on his fingers made the ring
warm and slippery.

As Yan Yi’s glandular age grew up year by year, his fragmented memories
were repaired. The anxiety in Lu Shangjin’s heart also grew stronger and
stronger.

He was eager to mark Yan Yi, wanting to start a family with him, wanting
to love Yan Yi deeply after his memories were fully repaired.

But the former reckless and selfish cold teenager has grown up as well, and
finally understood that respect was deeper than love.
Was Yan Yi still willing to wear his ring?

On the day of the jewellery exhibition, celebrities from all walks of life
were invited to the show. More than a dozen black-suit bodyguards opened
the way. A mirage separated the stream of people, and for a moment, all the
cameras turned to the front of the exclusive customised flying eagle logo on
the front of a car.

Especially when Lu Shangjin appeared with Yan Yi, journalists were not the
only ones causing a stir at the venue.

Most people only knew that Lu Shangjin did have a lady of the palace
hidden in his golden house, but have never actually seen their face.

For a while now, the only person who had been by Lu Shangjin’s side was a
lop-eared rabbit bodyguard who could handle all kinds of scenes with ease.

At the side of a long table at the venue, Yuan Mi attended as a movie star.
While chatting with others about gossip, he took his glass of red wine with
him as he found a quieter corner to rest.

Through the glass curtain wall, he watched Lu Shangjin hold Yan Yi’s waist
as they walked into the venue.

His eyes were sharp and could tell that Yan Yi hadn’t been marked.

But this wasn’t like he was being kept around and not allowing himself to
be marked. To bring an omega by your side at such an event was already
such a tantamount situation, it was the same as admitting their partnership
to the world.

Without a mark on this omega at such an event, Yuan Mi could actually tell
that Lu Shangjin was madly pursuing him instead.

This didn’t match Lu Shangjin’s personality.

He gave Yan Yi the chance to leave.

 Chap 67

As though he naturally knew how to deal with grand or serious situations,

Yan Yi walked beside Lu Shangjin with a polite, light smile on his face.

Even he himself was surprised.

When he entered the venue, Yan Yi saw a familiar omega sitting on an

armchair by the glass curtain wall.

At the first glance at Yuan Mi, Yan Yi’s heart tightened slightly.

It was like seeing someone you didn’t like. After carefully thinking it over,
the sense of familiarity this face gave him probably stemmed from his
popularity.

It was because he followed him on Weibo and had scrolled to Yuan Mi’s
drama modelling photos a few days ago. It may be that the black fans’
remarks were so excessively aggressive that they had even given him a poor
impression of this actor.

Seeing Yan Yi looking at him from afar, Yuan Mi’s heart sank.

Was it possible that he had to stage an act as the original spouse to regain
favour and make a scene of tearing the mistress up in public?

So he pretended to cough, uncomfortably placed his glass on the table, and

took advantage of the interval in the opening of the show to go to the
bathroom.
He smoked a cigarette alone in the cubicle and counted the minutes. Yan Yi
should have gone to the booth with Lu Shangjin. With a sigh of relief, he
went to the sink and looked in the mirror.

His bleached eyelashes had returned to their normal black colour, and a
circle of the word “freedom” tattooed in flowery English letters on his neck
had also been washed. Dressed in a light grey suit, he appeared obedient
and restrained.

Some people in the circle knew their story, that he and Lu Shangjin had
gone through a career low after the end of their relationship, but soon, there
was a new alpha willing to flatter him.

In complete contrast to Lu Shangjin, this alpha liked those who were well-
behaved.

Yuan Mi washed his hands and when he looked up, he saw Yan Yi in the
mirror. Yan Yi didn’t notice he was here as he leaned against the sink and
focused on scrolling through Weibo.

From the mirror, he could see that he was scrolling through Yuan Mi’s
Weibo. Yuan Mi could even see his ID “How can you eat bunnies”.

The unlucky netizen, who had been scolded by his fans for being a sarcastic
black fan praising his good acting skills, was actually him.

Yuan Mi gently composed himself, and did not dare to act wildly in front of
the lady in the palace who was in the limelight, silently praying that Yan Yi
wouldn’t notice him.

The assistant, Xiao Ning, brought a brand new suit vest over for Yan Yi to
change into, and with an apologetic look, took away Yan Yi’s jacket that
was stained with liquor.

Yan Yi adjusted the position of his opal cufflinks in the mirror and suddenly
noticed Yuan Mi. He inclined his head to the side and smiled politely,
releasing friendly milk-candy scented pheromones.
Yuan Mi froze for a moment, before responding with a little faint scent of
iris. The concentration of the release was far lower than Yan Yi’s, in order
to show that the other party’s status was more dignified than his own.

“Did you change your glands?” Yuan Mi asked in surprise. Yan Yi’s
pheromones were much less oppressive than the last time he had seen him.
He heard from a friend that Lu Shangjin had previously taken a liking to a
hamster omega from the karaoke box who had a high compatibility fit with
him, and had his glands removed with a small disagreement.

Seeing the manner in which Lu Shangjin had Yan Yi in the palm of his hand
now, he had probably already replaced his glands with ones that had a high
compatibility fit.

“What?” Yan Yi was stunned, blinking at Yuan Mi in confusion.

“…Sorry.” Yuan Mi thought that he just didn’t want to talk to him and
smiled awkwardly, “I mistook the wrong person.’

After Yan Yi left, Yuan Mi leaned against the sink and fell into a daze for a
while. He took his phone and scrolled through it unconsciously, searching
for Yan Yi’s ID.

The latest post was sent a month ago, which had only two photos, one with
Lu Shangjin holding Yan Yi from behind, showing an incredibly gentle
smile to the camera. In another one, Lu Shangjin was kissing Yan Yi’s hair
from the side.

That simple-minded silly rabbit’s wish was fulfilled. The corners of Yuan
Mi’s lips tugged up reluctantly as he exited the page.

His phone was suddenly snatched away. Yuan Mi looked up and met the
fiery gaze of an alpha.

The beautiful alpha, who had previously played the lead role of the rival
king with him, was now his investor and husband.
“The exhbition started, come with me.” Not allowing him to refuse, the
alpha took Yuan Mi by the waist and led him away, his large hand clamping
tightly over his ribs. Despite the unbearable pain, Yuan Mi continued to
smile.

Yan Yi was right. When he wasn’t on the job, his acting skills were really
good.

The exhibition went smoothly, and a series of peacock-themed jewellery

brought by famous jewellery designers were invited to participate in the
charity auction.

The designer was in fact the omega father of the little grey rabbit they
rescued from PBB before. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Lu
Shangjin—words of gratitude—and clearly separated his relationship with
Shao Wenjing between words.

Sitting on the single-person sofa, Yan Yi looked at his own reflection on the
glass curtain wall and rubbed his temples.

He never thought that he would take the words “gland replacement” to

heart. The more he thought about it, the more it bothered him.

There was such a thing in his impression, but in retrospect, it didn’t seem to
have happened.

“What are you thinking about?” Lu Shangjin pressed on his head and
rubbed, sitting on the arm of the sofa, “You must be tired. Are you tired of
dealing with these kinds of occasions?”

While no one was around, Yan Yi pulled Lu Shangjin into the stairwell and
hid in the cracks behind the door.

“Ge…I don’t feel well.” Yan Yi said in a muffled voice.

The string in Lu Shangjin’s heart straightened tightly again as he touched

him from the glands at his nape to his body again, “Where do you feel
unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“No…” Yan Yi grabbed the cuff of his suit and pressed his hand to his left
chest, “It felt a little empty here, like receiving a text from you saying ‘not
coming home for dinner tonight.’ Have you ever sent such a text?”

“No.” Lu Shangjin’s adam’s apple bobbed as he held his shoulder to

comfort him, “I try to get home as early as possible every day and call you
when I really can’t get away, right?”

The look in Yan Yi’s eyes was still deeply lost. He mumbled, “Is our
compatibility fit really low?”

“No! It’s not!” Lu Shangjin held him tightly, fearfully cupping his cheek
and kissed him, “Don’t think like that……please don’t think like that……”

His glands have grown again, and he didn’t know how old they had grown
to.

The alpha’s nervous reaction exceeded what Yan Yi had imagined. He

released a bit of pheromones to calm his alpha, “I’m just asking, it’s okay, I
won’t leave you.”

His alpha was always insecure. Feeling heartache, Yan Yi held his hand,
“Sorry, I mentioned something that bothers you, didn’t I?”

He became a little distant. At a loss for words, Lu Shangjin could only hug
him tighter and change the subject slightly awkwardly, “Are you hungry?
The buffet on the second floor should suit your taste. I’ll accompany you.”

Yan Yi didn’t want to affect Lu Shangjin’s work, but felt that his alpha
needed a little company.

“Okay, I won’t take up too much of your time.” Yan Yi smiled.

Lu Shangjin stood helplessly in front of him and silently took his hand, “I
can give you all my time…this exhibition is also just to make you happy.”

He didn’t know if it had backfired; would they need to open a carrot

exhibition next time?
Lu Shangjin skillfully picked out a few of the vegetables, fruits and desserts
that Yan Yi liked to eat, and was concentrating on deciding which flavour of
pudding to take, when a pair of arms softly wrapped around the waist,
followed by omega’s warm body plastered against him.

“You remember what I like to eat.” Yan Yi picked up a plate of things he

chose himself, “I haven’t even learned what you like. Do you like these
ones I took?”

Lu Shangjin glanced at it and knew that it must be food he liked to eat. His
heart seized tighter as an idea quickly flashed through his mind; mark Yan
Yi now, so he couldn’t leave him when he woke up later.

They sat in the private lounge, eating and feeding each other. Afterwards,
they hugged and rolled over onto the sofa.

Lu Shangjin entered Yan Yi from behind, landing kiss after kiss onto the
glands of his nape. His sharp canine teeth trembled as they gently rubbed
the fragile, light red skin, hesitating for a while, before withdrawing back in
agony.

Thinking that he would be bitten through his glands, Yan Yi tightly closed
his eyes and waited for the sting of the mark. However, what came was the
soothing pheromone that wrapped around his body.

Lu Shangjin hugged him fearfully, pacifying Yan Yi with soothing

pheromones a hundred times stronger than usual, asking him like a young
teenager, “Yan Yan, is it more comfortable like this?”

Yan Yi was almost drowned by the extreme tenderness in Lu Shangjin’s

arms. With difficulty, he twisted around to caress Lu Shangjin’s cheek, “So
comfortable…what’s the matter with you? What are you afraid of…mm-
slow down…I’m all yours…”

Lu Shangjin kissed his lips, following along his ears to his glands,
reverently like kissing the toes of a god.
The excessive release of soothing pheromones caused Lu Shangjin to feel
pain. His glands were squeezed by an invisible hand, releasing all the
soothing he could give to Yan Yi to make up for the lack of compatibility.

“You’re not mine…” Lu Shangjin’s voice held back a choked sob.

You’re getting further and further away.

 Chap 68

Edited and Proofread by: cream

Yan Yi’s suit vest and polka dot tie were thrown aside, his French-style shirt
was half open, and the white skin under his collarbones was dotted with
light red love bites.

After the gentle caress, Yan Yi’s legs were still soft and his rabbit tail had
gotten wet. He leaned on the armrest of the sofa as the place between his
legs was wiped with a tissue.

From the start to the end, Lu Shangjin had only unzipped his pants and used
two tissues to help him wipe his dripping penis.

Yan Yi’s cheeks flushed red as he pushed Lu Shangjin’s shoulder

shamefully, “Go away…I’ll wipe it myself…”

Lu Shangjin paused at the right moment and stopped at the distance where
Yan Yi pushed him away. Holding the tissue in his hand, he looked at him, a
little lost.

Yan Yi didn’t notice the hurt in Lu Shangjin’s eyes and wiped the come that
flowed out, before reaching for his suit pants thrown on the back of the
sofa.

“You keep getting it inside…I-I’ll get pregnant.” Yan Yi bit his lips as he
put his clothes on neatly and went to the dressing mirror to tidy the pressed
and wrinkled shirt.

His body was suddenly embraced from behind.

The alpha was tall and handsome, a little taller than him. When his chin
rested on his shoulder, he was like a large, docile dog.

“Turns out you don’t want to give me a baby…” Lu Shangjin apologetically

pressed the tip of his nose behind his ear, “I’ll wear a condom next time
then.”

He had thought that Yan Yi cared so much about that child from the false
pregnancy that he must have wanted a child. He just didn’t dare to ask, as
long as Yan Yi didn’t actively refuse, Lu Shangjin could deceive himself
and let nature take its course.

Perhaps, he just doesn’t want to give me one…these words had always been
in his heart. He wanted to ask, but who would know the answer?

“What are you talking about?” Yan Yi froze for a moment, then smiled
brightly, “I just don’t want to have a child too early. We’re both still young,
and you have your career as well. When I don’t have to take nutrition shots
anymore, I’ll also go to find a job I like. I don’t want a child to take up too
much of our time together just yet. Mm, of course I would also be happy if
there was one.”

Lu Shangjin didn’t react for a long time, silently digesting Yan Yi’s words.

It turns out that in his twenties, Yan Yi was imagining their future alone.

Why would he later long for a child to that extent? Lu Shangjin pursed his
lips, closed his eyes and leaned slightly against Yan Yi’s head.

Perhaps just like he was now, when Lu Shangjin wanted to have a child, so
that when Yan Yi came to his senses and wanted to leave him, he would
have the ties for Yan Yi to be reluctant to leave.

“It’s scary to give birth to a child, isn’t it?” Yan Yi held the hand that was
wrapped around his waist and rubbed it, “I’m afraid of pain.”

“I’m here.” Lu Shangjin said in a muffled voice, “Your alpha won’t let you
get hurt.” When the time comes, he will inject two shots of powerful energy
agents in advance to ensure the supply of soothing pheromones.

“My alpha…” Yan Yi lowered his head, looking very happy. After thinking
for a long time, he finally decided to comfort his alpha, “Don’t be too sorry
about the compatibility fit, it’s okay. With you…I really feel very
comfortable, or you don’t have to be so gentle, I won’t feel very
uncomfortable if it hurts a little…”

This was what Yan Yi said at the age of 23. At that time, he had grown out
of his temper and always spoke with some caution.

“No!” Lu Shangjin suddenly shivered and refused sternly and loudly.

Yan Yi was startled, the fingers holding Lu Shangjin quivering as he

carefully moved away, but Lu Shangjin grabbed back and grasped him into
the palm of his hand.

“Yan Yan, I promise,” Lu Shangjin tightened his grip around his body as if
seeking comfort, “I will treat you well and won’t hurt you even a little…
you promise me that you won’t leave me when you’re 27 years old… “

“What are you talking about. Why can’t I understand?” Yan Yi’s expression
relaxed, “Why are you so afraid. Do I make you feel uneasy?”

Lu Shangjin nodded.

“”Be more coquettish to me.” Lu Shangjin gently held Yan Yi’s cheek and
bowed his head to kiss him, “You promise me… promise me.”

Yan Yi turned around and stood on tiptoe to respond to the kiss. It seemed
that he didn’t do so well that his alpha was always worried about his gains
and losses.

He found a pen and paper from the lounge’s liquor cabinet and leaned over
to write a paragraph with elegant and beautiful penmanship.

It wrote: “I will love you even at twenty-seven.”

He even signed his name at the lower right corner.

“I promise you.” Yan Yi shoved the note into Lu Shangjin’s hand, releasing
soothing pheromones to him, “In case I don’t do it, you can sue me.”

Lu Shangjin laughed, “Who would accept and hear the case of such a silly
appeal.”

Yan Yi watched him fold the note into a square and put it into his pocket,
feeling warm water flowing through his heart.

As the charity auction drew to a close, Lu Shangjin had to show up again.

Yan Yi stayed on the second floor, sitting in a place where he could see the
booth and drink orange juice.

It just so happened that Tan Meng was also on the second floor. He
sandwiched two pieces of chocolate almond cake over to chat with Yan Yi.

“I took two pieces, would you like to eat them?” Tan Meng sat on the high
stool. The butterfly omega was very petite. Sitting on the high stool, his two
slender legs swayed gently, “Lu…president has gone to the exhibition
stand, hasn’t he.”

Lu Shangjin had repeatedly instructed them not to mention the name “Lu
Shangjin” in front of Yan Yi to stimulate him. At home, the documents with
the name printed on them had been kept away by Lu Shangjin.

Yan Yi seemed to pause for a moment. Tan Meng immediately changed the
subject, taking out a hardcover book from his backpack and pushing it to
Yan Yi, “My new book came out with a commemorative edition, the last
one is for you.”

“My god, thank you.” Yan Yi touched the plastic packaging box
delightfully, “Extremely cool.”

“I actually have a club that only accepts omegas. The members are of
higher grade, come to my place if you’re interested?” Tan Meng stretched
his legs with his back against the long table, holding a large glass of orange
juice and sipping it.
The closing speech began at the exhibition stand on the first floor with a
sincere thank you to Mr. Lu Shangjin, the organizer of the exhibition.

Yan Yi stared blankly at the three words “Lu Shangjin” on the screen, and
his whole body froze.

Tan Meng immediately tried to pull Yan Yi away, but Yan Yi sat on the high
stool and stared at the three words.

He suddenly couldn’t remember what his alpha’s name was.

For months, he hadn’t bothered to think about what his alpha name was,
because he was sure he knew it.

What’s more, he was at home and had little contact with his alpha’s name.

“A-Yan…” Tan Meng didn’t stop him again. He was also a member of the
high grade omegas, so he could deeply empathize with some of the injuries
that Yan Yi has suffered.

It was a matter of time before his memories could be restored. No matter

how he avoided it, Lu Shangjin had to face it.

When Yan Yi returned from the shock, he stood up in a trance, walked to

the iron railing, and stared blankly at the alpha on the stand who was
addressing the audience with indifference.

His name was Lu Shangjin.

In his memory, the name that was hated and brought some fear belonged to
his alpha.

Yan Yi couldn’t say why he hated the name, he could only feel a little pain
in the stomach, a little nauseous.

His brain blanked out for a while until something was jerked out of his
mouth, and only then did Yan Yi look at the alpha standing and panting in
front of him.
Lu Shangjin took the cigarette butt he took from Yan Yi’s mouth and
brought it in front of Yan Yi to extinguish it with his thumb and forefinger,
asking extremely helplessly, “Why did you run to the rooftop to smoke?”

When Lu Shangjin heard his name being read out loud, he knew it was
over.

It was all over.

“I don’t know.” Yan Yi leaned gently against the rooftop fence, “I don’t
know how I could be so skilled at smoking for the first time either.”

“Are you hiding something from me?” Yan Yi slightly raised his face and
looked deeply at him, his fingers curled around Lu Shangjin’s tie, his eyes
probing.

Trembling, Lu Shangjin held him and dropped his head to Yan Yi’s
shoulders, not knowing how many times he could still hug him. It would be
good to give him a painful but quick death too.

On the contrary, Yan Yi’s heart softened as he patted Lu Shangjin’s back,

“You happen to have the same name as someone I don’t like, it’s not your
fault.”

“Do you hate him a lot?” Lu Shangjin felt his blood pressure increase.

“Very much.” Yan Yi answered perfunctorily, “Otherwise, how can I

remember it so well?”

Lu Shangjin had nothing to say. His heart was sliced horizontally by a small
blade, and then scraped vertically into pieces, leaving a fine, bloody puddle.

After the jewellery exhibition, the two people went home as usual. What
was different in peace was that Yan Yi was covered with a thin layer of ice,
alienated and indifferent.

It began to snow.
There was a ginkgo tree outside the window of Lu Shangjin’s office, which
had lost its leaves as early as autumn, leaving only one piece shaking
unsteadily on a branch covered with snow.

A cold wind came. Lu Shangjin shivered and looked out the window, the
last lingering leaf was spinning and floating down.

Full of tenderness and love, he waded through the swamp to chase after the
light, seemingly escaping but falling.

The moment the ginkgo leaf fell in the thin snow, Lu Shangjin got up and
left.

At twenty degrees below zero, Lu Shangjin was only wearing a suit shirt.
Sitting in a car that had not yet warmed up, his frozen-stiff hands turned up
the heat.

The snowy road was slippery and there was a little traffic jam in the middle.
The company wasn’t far from home. Lu Shangjin directly threw the car on
the side of the road, ripped off his tie and ran in the direction of their home
in the cold wind.

Standing in the empty living room, the tips of Lu Shangjin’s hair were still
dripping, and the edges of his leather shoes were stained with a ring of thin
mud, which made a trail of footprints on the polished floor.

The car keys slipped from his palm and fell to the ground with a loud rattle.

Lu Shangjin knelt on the floor, at a loss, listening to the slow ticking of the
clock in the silent home.

“You’re off work so early today.” There was a rustling movement of

changing shoes and hanging clothes from behind, “I came back from Tan
Meng’s and brought you some snacks.”

Yan Yi looked at the dirty mud-covered floor under Lu Shangjin’s feet in

surprise, “What are you going to do? Do you want to die?”
Lu Shangjin suddenly rushed over and swept Yan Yi into his arms, panting
sharply and instructing in a hoarse voice, “Please tell me when you leave
home, okay?”

“Okay…” Yan Yi wanted to go and get the mop, but Lu Shangjin picked
him up and stuffed him into the bathroom.

“I’ll mop it later.” Lu Shangjin refused to let go of him.

In bed, Lu Shangjin was still releasing soothing pheromones without

restraint. Today, he was really too tired and fell asleep faster than Yan Yi.

When sleeping, Lu Shangjin always hugged him tightly from behind, the tip
of his nose pressing against his neck as he breathed calmly at the back of
his neck. If he couldn’t smell Yan Yi to sleep, he wouldn’t be able to sleep.

Yan Yi closed his eyes for a moment, placing his hand on the one held
tightly over his waist, trying to separate Lu Shangjin’s hand to go to the
bathroom.

The arms around his waist tightened in panic. Lu Shangjin slurred hastily in
his sleep, “Don’t go …… I’ll change, I’ll change everything ……”

Recently, his alpha had always been restless and had nightmares every
night.

Yan Yi gently broke his hands away before turning around and stuffing the
quilt with his smell into Lu Shangjin’s arms for him to hold, then quietly
went to the bathroom.

When he came back from pouring a glass of water, the headlights in the
bedroom were blindingly bright.

Lu Shangjin sat on the bed holding his head in pain. When he raised his
head to look at Yan Yi, his eyes were blood-shot.

Yan Yi hurriedly walked to the bedside, releasing soothing pheromones to

his alpha, and passed the cup in his hand to his lips.
“Drink some water, did you not sleep well again?”

Lu Shangjin’s face was haggard as he looked at him helplessly and

mumbled with joy, “Ah, you’re still here.”

Yan Yi touched his forehead, it felt very hot.

Lu Shangjin’s bloodshot eyes were clouded with a layer of tears. With a

shaking hand, he grabbed Yan Yi’s wrist and placed it to his cracked and
burning hot lips, pressing close to the tattoo on the root of his ring finger.

This fever was due to the overuse of his glands and the mental stress and
exhaustion he usually had, causing disordered glandular secretion.

The family doctor came by in the morning and hooked Lu Shangjin up with
an IV bag and an energy shot.

When he woke up, Lu Shangjin habitually reached out to touch Yan Yi

sleeping beside him, but his fingers only felt the cold bed sheets. He
abruptly opened his eyes to find the back of his hand taped with medical
tape.

Ever since dismissing the nanny, Lu Shangjin would personally prepare

breakfast every day. He looked at the time; it was already nine o’clock.

“Yan Yan.” Lu Shangjin put on his slippers and hurried downstairs where
Yan Yi was frying eggs in the kitchen.

The eggs were skillfully fried until golden brown. Yan Yi concentrated on
putting the eggs on the bread slices, then evenly sliced up a piece of ham,
and tore a leaf of lettuce before shaking off the water droplets and piling it
on.

He rubbed his heels gently as he stepped on the soft suede slippers with his
bare feet.

Through the glass door of the kitchen, Lu Shangjin stared at him dazedly
with his hands hung by his sides. He unconsciously approached, touching
Yan Yi’s lowered eyelashes through the glass.
Could time stop at this moment and stay still? It was also good to watch the
moving gentleness through the glass.

When Yan Yi noticed him, he pulled open the door and walked out with two
breakfast plates. Lu Shangjin hurriedly received the plates and set them on
the table, blowing on his fingertips that had been scalded by the milk.

“Are you feeling better? You made a lot of noise in the middle of the night.”
Yan Yi came over and touched his forehead. Fortunately, his temperature
had gone down.

“It was already 9:30 AM and I wanted to wake you up, but you looked a
little unwell, so I took it upon myself to let you sleep. I don’t know if I had
delayed any meetings.”

“No, there’s nothing going on at the company today, so I’m not going.” Lu
Shangjin took the hand that was over his forehead and placed it on his
cheek, “I had someone drive the car back yesterday and bring some
vegetables along the way. I wanted to cook vegetable porridge for you this
morning.”

He ate his breakfast clean from his plate and didn’t leave a single drop of
milk left, just like a kid in kindergarten who wanted to please his teachers.

Yan Yi rested his cheek on his hand as he gazed at him.

“Is it good?”

Lu Shangjin nodded his head repeatedly. As long as it was made by Yan Yi,
even the most basic sandwich would be accompanied by a light sweet scent
of milk-candy when it entered his mouth.

“…Do you like me that much?” Yan Yi stepped on the beam under the
vintage chair, holding his elbows and asked with a smile, “What’s so special
about me?”

Lu Shangjin bluntly blurted out, forgetting all the flirtacious tactics he had
at his fingertips, “You’re very special. To me, you’re someone I can’t lose.”
It was the raindrops and rainbows that descended on their teenage years.

Yan Yi smiled and shook his little rabbit ears, perplexed. Being emotionally
pinned by high expectations made one feel more pressured.

Later, he didn’t have the heart to be troubled by these problems again. Lu

Shangjin took his annual leave and took Yan Yi all around Europe to play.

On the private plane on the return trip, Yan Yi looked intently at the travel
photos taken by the photographer.

Lu Shangjin took him by the shoulders and looked with him, “You pick the
one you like best, I’ll have it framed and hung in our bedroom. Then I’ll get
a wall made in my study to hang up the photos.”

“Would it disturb your work?” Yan Yi smiled as he leaned against the

hollow of Lu Shangjin’s shoulder. After flipping through the photos for a
while, he yawned slightly.

“How would it? I’m glowing with energy just looking at you.” Lu Shangjin
glanced down and kissed his hair, “Sleepy? Sleep then.”

Yan Yi was worried that he would make his alpha’s shoulder go numb from
pressing against it for too long, but Lu Shangjin refused to let go, so Yan Yi
had to lean on him and close his eyes.

His alpha was always releasing excessive amounts of soothing pheromones.

Being wrapped around in it was like lying down on an eiderdown duvet,
soft and warm.

Lu Shangjin looked down at Yan Yi who was sleeping against the hollow of
his shoulder. He gently pushed aside the little rabbit ears blocking his cheek
and gazed at his peaceful sleeping face.

If only he hadn’t ever done anything to make Yan Yi sad. Even if Yan Yi
were to be as estranged as this in the future, Lu Shangjin could pour the
amended ways of his love into his arms.
It was already nine o’clock in the evening when the plane approached
landing. Yan Yi, woken up by a kiss, was covered with a thin blanket. Lu
Shangjin didn’t want the bumpy landing to frighten the little rabbit.

Just after leaving the airport, Lu Shangjin frowned slightly and looked
around. There was a sense of restlessness permeating the air.

He couldn’t help but tighten his grip on Yan Yi’s hand and quicken his pace
towards the driver’s car.

“What’s wrong?” Yan Yi raised his little rabbit ears, carefully listening to
the movement around him.

“There’s a smell of bedbugs.” Lu Shangjin opened the car door for him
before going to the trunk himself to pull a silver suitcase out, then sat next
to Yan Yi and shut the door.

The driver originally wanted to take them back to their new home, but Lu
Shangjin glanced at his watch coldly and said to return to the villa first.

Feeling the subtle change of aura on his alpha, Yan Yi inched a little
nervously towards the other side of the car door.

“Don’t be afraid, baobei.” Lu Shangjin pulled him closer and kissed the
corner of his temple, “It’s okay.”

Yan Yi silently clutched Lu Shangjin’s lapel as a hint of oppressive

narcissus pheromones transmitted into his glands. His body writhed in pain
and he subconsciously wrapped his arms around his faintly aching stomach.

The all-black Bentley drove smoothly along the night highway. Lu

Shangjjin leaned back against the seat and fastened the seat belt for Yan Yi,
gently patting his shoulder to soothe him, as his left hand idly rapped
against the steel buckle of the silver suitcase.

Lu Shangjin’s low voice broke the silence in the car.

“On the count of three, take the direction to the left and kill.”
The driver froze for a moment, but being used to hearing President Lu’s
unquestionable demands, he subconsciously obeyed.

“One, two…”

The red target point had already shifted to the tire.

“Three.”

With an ear-piercing screech, the high-speed Bentley sharply turned

direction from the road and hurled out. A deep bullet hole was sniped out
from the flat ground.

“Baobei, wait for me in the car.” Lu Shangjin half-kneeled in the back seat
as he held Yan Yi’s frightened white cheeks and soothed, “The glass on the
car doors are all bulletproof, don’t come out.”

He then glanced at the driver, “Make an S turn and go forward, don’t stop
even if there’s a red light.”

The driver shivered and nodded.

Lu Shangjin jumped from the speeding Bentley, rolled twice on the

highway and tumbled into the green belt. A sniper bullet landed close to his
feet but only made a hole in the dirt of the green belt.

There was an office building a few hundred meters away. Lu Shangjin

looked up at the rooftop of the building where a dark figure was collecting a
gun, ready to flee.

Lu Shangjin pressed the buttons of all the elevators on the first floor and ran
up the stairs.

By the time he reached the third floor, he had already dropped his suitcase
and was carrying an assembled shotgun on his back and an MP433 in each
hand. He flipped over the handrail of the stairs and flew upstairs with a row
of Luger bullets in his hand.
When the sniper saw that all the elevators on the top floor had been called
down, he knew that Lu Shangjin would block him in the stairwell, so he
immediately dropped a steel cable outside the building and slid down
quietly with the sniper rifle on his back.

At the fifteenth floor, he slowed his sharp descent in preparation for

landing, but as he slid past a floor-to-ceiling window, the sniper locked eyes
with the cold, awaiting alpha through the glass window.

Bang!

The exploding glass refracted irregularly in the moonlight in a blinding

dazzle. Powerful arms crashed through the tempered glass and grabbed the
sniper by the neck, ruthlessly yanking the man in.

So far, no species had been able to surpass the speed of the peregrine
falcon’s accompanying ability “seize”, not even the M2 grade golden eagle
alpha.

The golden eagle alpha struggled desperately as his neck was gripped by
the iron pincer-like claws and pinned down onto a ground full of broken
glass. Without a single word of nonsense, Lu Shangjin expressionlessly
fired the gun against the serial number “PBB000099” on the golden eagle
alpha’s throat.

Anyone who lit up a red aiming point in front of Lu Shangjin should be

prepared to be pounced on and killed by the peregrine falcon at that very
moment.

The gunfire reverberated in the empty building. At the same time, the rising
elevator just happened to stop at the fifteenth floor with a ding.

The elevator doors slowly parted and a dense burst of bullets sprayed the
opposite floor-to-ceiling windows, shattering the glass in all directions.

But they were surprised to find that there was no one there.
Before the alphas who were ready to ambush him could get out, two smoke
bombs were thrown at their feet, hissing and bursting out pungent smoke,
and the visibility of the dark space was sharply reduced to zero.

Lu Shangjin pressed the “close” button for the alphas who had yet to come
out. The elevator door caught the muzzle of the shotgun in his hand, and the
trigger was pulled three times in succession. When there was no more
movement inside, he withdrew the muzzle and smashed the smoke alarm at
the same time.

The elevator door closed tightly, and the room turned dark, but the look in
Lu Shangjin’s eyes was distinctively clear.

He leaned over the elevator and whistled softly, summoning the alphas that
had wandered around looking for him.

Two MP433, with 18 bullets in his left hand and 17 bullets left in his right
hand, shot towards the pitch-dark chaotic shadows with one shot between
the brows.

Three minutes later, Lu Shangjin flew downstairs and conveniently

smashed the surveillance behind him.

The solid black Bentley was turning back from the intersection on the left.

“Why did you come back?! I told you to take him away!” Lu Shangjin
hurriedly pulled open the car door, anxiously releasing soothing
pheromones. The little rabbit must be scared, he had to coax him well.

“Yan Yan, don’t be scared.”

Before the words were out of his mouth, he suddenly froze, facing the black
muzzle of a gun right in front of him.

Yan Yi pointed his pistol at Lu Shangjin with a cold expression.

The eyes contained the melancholy of a twenty-seven-year-old widow.

“Yan Yan…it’s me…” Lu Shangjin stood outside the car in a daze.

Glaring sparks flashed past Lu Shangjin’s eyes. He even forgot to dodge,
dumbfounded, waiting for sharp pain and a bullet to fall on his body.

A scream came from behind. Lu Shangjin looked back and saw an alpha
chasing behind him shot between the eyebrows, falling softly a few meters
away.

The early spring night was still cold and biting. Lu Shangjin tightened his
coat and found that the frost in his heart could not be warmed by clothes.

He had built a snow rabbit in winter, and no matter how carefully he took
care of it, it melted away in the cold night of early spring.

Yan Yi blew on the muzzle, came out, and leaned against the car door. He
lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and took a light puff, the cool smoke
obscuring his eyes.

Yan Yi dusted off the ashes for a very long time.

“Jin ge, don’t you have anything to say.”

 Chap 70

To tell the truth, standing in front of him now, Yan Yi was roughly the same
as what Lu Shangjin had expected. Just calmer than he imagined.

He had been ready to be slapped in the face, yet all he got was a mild and
quiet question, and it produced a more desolate panic.

When he leaned against the car door to light his cigarette, the sparks
reflected in his downcast grey eyes, illuminating the loneliness in them
even more clearly.

Lu Shangjin wanted to raise his hand to touch him. His fingertips moved
slightly, restrained and clenched in his palm.

He deliberated over a dozen apologies and persuasions in his heart, but

what he said out loud was, “……Come home and I’ll make you a midnight
snack.”

The corners of Yan Yi’s lips pulled up as he looked down at the flashing
spark between his fingers, “Go home, go back to our home?”

“It’s our new home, don’t you remember? In a couple of days someone will
come to modify the standing wall in the study.” Lu Shangjin explained in a
low voice and knocked on the glass to ask the driver to go, lest he heard
more than he should.

Yan Yi’s eyes were clouded over with a layer of emotional struggle.

He did remember Lu Shangjin’s considerate care for the past year, the fond
love he pampered him with, as gentle as fine rain that fell on his cheeks in
early spring when he was seventeen.

He even vividly remembered him humbly begging Yan Yi not to leave him
in his sleep.

“I trusted you once before.” Yan Yi did his best to relax his tense shoulders.

Yan Yi’s coldness made Lu Shangjin’s hair stand on end, further confirming
his most feared suspicion—that Yan Yi liked him with all his heart, simply
because of Lu Shangjin’s mark on his body.

Lu Shangjin turned his head to look away, desperately trying to conceal his
pain.

An oppressive aura nearby was quietly closing in on them.

The two simultaneously sensed the approaching danger and subconsciously

turned their backs to each other, their muzzles pointing in different
directions.

“Don’t get so close.” Yan Yi frowned. The way he instinctually entrusted

his back to the other party like it was second nature hadn’t disappeared.

There was a subtle difference from his previous partner. Lu Shangjin’s

posture was more like protecting Yan Yi in the narrow space behind him.

“Get into the car first.” Lu Shangjin reached back from behind to gather
him. No one could hurt the little rabbit again, and neither could the little
rabbit afford to get hurt again.

Yan Yi pulled open the door of the driver’s seat and quickly sat in. Lu
Shangjin rolled over and landed on the other side, getting into the passenger
seat, before skillfully fastening the seat belt and pulling out an AK47 from
under the seat.

“Don’t be scared, you won’t get hurt when I’m next to you.” Lu Shangjin
looked down to check the magazine. His right hand that was loading it kept
trembling, scattering bullets to his feet. He hurriedly picked them up to
push into the magazine.
“Is there…something wrong with your hand?” Yan Yi averted his line of
sight to glance at him.

“Nothing wrong.” He hugged the AK and leaned back wearily in his chair,
barely pulling out an easy smile, “Are you concerned about me?”

Yan Yi bit the end of the cigarette butt that was almost finished and
reversed the direction, increasing the speed to 102, and dashed off like
lightning.

Smoke slowly trailed from his teeth. Yan Yi focused on racing, occasionally
dusting the ashes into the ashtray, “I’m now a weak omega, I can’t help.”

There was a deafening sound of impact on the rear windshield, and a bullet
mark was scratched into the bulletproof glass.

He wanted to say a few more words at first, but Lu Shangin squeezed out a
“fuck” between his teeth, pressing open the shooting sunroof of the
modified Bentley to poke out the upper half of his body and shoot at the van
that was in hot pursuit behind them.

On the other hand, Yan Yi skillfully controlled the direction, allowing Lu

Shangjin to find the opportunity to shoot steadily while he was driving at an
extreme speed.

Two drone bombs buzzed and circled after them, positioning themselves
before swooping down toward the speeding Bentley.

“Yan Yan! Get out!”

The terrifying roar sounded like thunder. Yan Yi was thrown out by force,
and at the moment he was in the air, the Bentley, still speeding forward,
exploded into a ball of fire in front of him.

Lu Shangjin wrapped him in his coat and rolled when he landed, his back
hitting the ground heavily.

Yan Yi laid on his body and stared dazedly at the eyes of the alpha beneath
him. Suddenly, the back of his head was pressed to his chest by the alpha’s
large hand, as the light scent of Narcissus plunged into his nose.

The severity and fickleness were reduced from the alpha’s slightly raised
eyebrows, and replaced by an unimaginable gentle steadiness.

Without time to linger, Lu Shangjin rolled over and picked Yan Yi up,
leading him through the narrow crack of the building.

Yan Yi wrapped his arms around Lu Shangjin’s neck, picked up Lu

Shangjin’s MP433 with both hands, and pointed it at the drone chasing
overhead behind them. The bullets fired in quick succession, hitting the
detonator accurately.

With two loud bangs, the drones exploded into two huge black clouds and
fell onto the road behind them, exploding with bursts of asphalt and gravel.

Lu Shangjin’s right hand was trembling as he changed direction while

holding Yan Yi. He muttered words of comfort, feeling for Yan Yi’s hand
and holding it in his palm, caressing the juncture between his thumb and
index finger that was hurt by the recoil force for his sake.

A tiny current rolled through his heart. Yan Yi bit hard on his lower lip.

After escaping back to the villa, Lu Shangjin immediately turned on the

highest protection level of the villa’s security system to attract attention,
then drove away quietly from the back passage of the underground garage
with a dusty old Volkswagen.

When he stumbled into and locked the door of their new home, Lu Shangjin
hugged Yan Yi and sat down on the sofa, panting violently.

Yan Yi swept away the hand resting on him and went to the kitchen to boil a
pot of hot water before pouring a cup and putting it in front of him. Without
saying a word, he stepped on the wooden stairs to the second floor, locked
himself in the bedroom, and never came out again.

Lu Shangjin turned over, gasping as he buried his face in the sofa cushions.
With difficulty, he used his left hand to feel for his phone to notify Bi
Ruijing and Xia Pingtian of the attack today.

Only after waiting for the trembling of his right fingers to lessen did he drag
his tired feet up to the second floor. He held his knuckles up to the closed
bedroom door and hung them there for a moment before he slowly lowered
them.

Pet dogs often looked forward to following their owners up to their

bedroom in order to feel safe in a private space and to confirm their
acceptance.

Lu Shangjin held his empty heart and silently endured the pain.

“I’ll go make something for you to eat. It’s uncomfortable to sleep on an

empty stomach.”

A bowl of pumpkin porridge and a plate of scrambled eggs with cucumber

was brought to the table. The young master, who used to keep his ten
fingers out of the water, was now moving skillfully and agilely in the
kitchen.

Lu Shangjin sat alone at the table and waited for a while. The porridge was
cooled just enough to taste before he sent a message to Yan Yi to come
down and eat.

After that, he didn’t know what else to do. He laid on the table quietly,
gently rubbing his right shoulder, then fished out a carry-on painkiller from
his pocket and poured it into his mouth.

The pill stuck to his dry throat and it took several gulps of water to swallow
it down. He didn’t bother pressing it down further even when his mouth was
full of the bitter taste.

In the bedroom lit only by a dim wall lamp, Yan Yi pillowed his hand as he
nestled sideways on the pillow, idly flipping through the phone album in his
phone.
Three or four hundred travel photos filled his screen and he flipped through
them one by one. Occasionally, his gaze would linger on a certain photo.
The alpha lying on the beach with him was holding his shoulder in a
somewhat childish manner, no different from a couple in love.

He originally thought he would be sleepy after flipping through for a while,

but after a whole hour or so later, Yan Yi was still awake.

After flipping through the travel photos, he saw a group photo taken at
home. In the background was the bed where he was now lying.

He zoomed in to look at the Tuzki drawn on the glands on Lu Shangjin’s

nape by a marker.

How could the alpha who was willing to let him run wild by himself be Lu
Shangjin?

Yan Yi got up to get the glass of water on the table. There was a somewhat
old paper crane hanging from the neck of the vintage desk lamp on the
table. Hanging from a thin line under the paper crane was a piece of paper
with familiar handwriting that read: The first gift I got from baby bunny.

A burst of unbearable agitation suddenly rose in his heart. Yan Yi gritted his
teeth and yanked off that paper crane, clutching it in his hand and throwing
it into the paper basket fiercely.

He utterly detested the fake deep affection that rendered him more than
willing to be cheated out of everything again and again.

Yan Yi pulled out the backpack from the closet, picked up a few changes of
clothes, and stuffed them into it. He suddenly remembered there were still
some of his things downstairs, so he took the backpack and pulled open the
bedroom door.

Lu Shangjin was startled, carrying a bowl of golden pumpkin porridge that

had been reheated for who knew how many times. Standing awkwardly
outside the bedroom door, he was nearly knocked over by Yan Yi.
Yan Yi looked at the bowl of porridge in his hand and froze for a moment,
before leaning to the side and walking out of the bedroom through the gap
next to him.

Lu Shangjin saw him carrying a bag, and from the open zipper, he could see
a change of clean underwear and shirt.

He didn’t stop Yan Yi, but slowly walked into the bedroom and put the
bowl of porridge on the table. Seeing the torn thread on the neck of the
table lamp, he fell into a daze for a while.

He then bent over and rummaged through the paper basket, picked out the
crumpled paper crane, and put it in the palm of his hand, flattening it. He
spread out the two wings that Yan Yi creased from clutching it and tied the
torn threads back together.

His right hand wasn’t very obedient. It took him five minutes of
concentration to tie the paper crane back in its original place.

Turning back, Yan Yi leaned against the door with his backpack hanging
over one shoulder, holding his arms and looking at him. His eyes lingered
for a moment on the paper crane that was tied back on then turned to the
side impatiently.

Lu Shangjin opened his mouth, but his throat was choked up and he
couldn’t say anything.

Yan Yi asked, “Where did you keep all my things?”

Before leaving the house, Lu Shangjin had hidden all of Yan Yi’s things.
Rather than being afraid that he would go, he was more afraid that Yan Yi
would go too quickly and decisively.

Lu Shangjin looked at him helplessly, rubbing the sweat on his palm, and
explained in a low voice, “I’m sorry…about that abortion, I was too
reckless and too paranoid ……”
Yan Yi pushed Lu Shangjin aside and searched in the drawer under the bed.
He found a bag of bits and pieces of little things, opening the seal to look,
then putting it all away in his backpack.

He turned to leave, but his arm was grabbed and the alpha came up from
behind him, his cold, sweaty hands helplessly wrapped around his waist.

“It’s dangerous outside. It’s too late- midnight…too cold…” Lu Shangjin

choked on a sob and kissed his hair, “You sleep here, I won’t come in.”

The look in Yan Yi’s eyes stagnated for a few seconds, determined to break
his fingers away. Lu Shangjin’s right hand seemed to exert little strength
and was easily forced open.

Lu Shangjin panicked and fished out a piece of paper folded into a square
from his pocket. He carefully flattened it and handed it to Yan Yi with his
trembling right hand.

“You said you’d still love me when you’re twenty-seven, you wrote it to
me.” Lu Shangjin looked at him desperately and longingly, as if looking at
the last match in his hand that was about to burn out.

Like being pricked by a needle, Yan Yi shivered. He grabbed the piece of

paper from his hand and tore it to pieces, then slapped it back into Lu
Shangjin’s hand, “I broke my promise, go sue me then!”

Lu Shangjin’s vision blurred for a moment, and when it became clear again,
he only saw the door of their home being slammed shut.

He stood alone in the sudden silence of his bedroom, like a family dog
abandoned in the countryside at night, waiting helplessly for the lights of a
car that wouldn’t turn back.

It was difficult to get a car in the middle of the night. Yan Yi walked along
the highway aimlessly, his heart tied with numerous chaotically tangled
woollen threads. He wanted to try hard to pull them apart, but the more they
tangled, the more they tightened, making his heart hurt.
Suddenly, his vision darkened. Yan Yi knelt down on a pile of stones by the
roadside, and laid down painfully on his side, covering the vague ache in
his abdomen. Cold sweat seeped from the corners of his forehead down his
cheeks.

The moment he was about to lose consciousness, his body was caught in a
warm embrace. Strong forearms wrapped around the bend of his knees and
lifted him up, his forehead pressed against an alpha’s broad chest.

Yan Yi preferred the light scent of narcissus flowing into his nose and
glands coming from the green belt on the roadside rather than this person
holding him.

He felt that this wave of narcissus pheromones was extremely unstable, but
was unable to open his eyes. He was dimly aware that he had been put in
the back seat of a car, and later lost even this bit of clear consciousness.

At 8 o’clock in the morning, Dr. Zhong clocked in.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Lu Shangjin sitting on the bench

waiting anxiously.

“Good morning xian-sheng, has something happened?” Dr. Zhong glanced

at his watch, “Last night’s emergency?”

Lu Shangjin nodded and said in a hoarse voice, “He completely recovered

last night, but his emotional state and mood are not considered stable.”

He hasn’t allowed me to go up to see him yet.

The elevator doors opened a crack.

Lu Shangjin stood up and quickly went over to help Yan Yi walk out.

Yan Yi’s face was pale, and his steps were more erratic than when he had
just been sent to the hospital. He held him in a trance like he had lost his
soul, and didn’t say a word.
“What’s wrong, what did the doctor say?” Lu Shangjin’s heart was twisting
tighter and tighter. Looking at Yan Yi’s appearance, he was afraid that he
had come down with a serious illness.

“Glandular disease? Leaving a lingering effect? Where do you feel

discomfort?” Lu Shangjin was so anxious that he circled around him, and
finally couldn’t help but block him. He held Yan Yi’s shoulders with both
hands and leaned down to stare at him, “Tell me!”

Yan Yi violently pushed him away with a slap to his face, loud enough that
it nearly echoed through the hall.

“You’re a beast.” He said.

Lu Shangjin stood in front of him, his face burning with pain, but at a loss
for what to do, he couldn’t be bothered to touch it. He picked up the
scattered examination report and glanced down at the ten lines. Pausing in
surprise, he then took a breath to read it carefully.

His eyes rested on the blurred image for a long time before slowly moving
to the list of data below.

The doctor said that the fetus was all right and was in its third trimester.

“…” Lu Shangjin’s lips trembled and his vision blurred.

He suddenly picked Yan Yi up and ran into the elevator, asking the doctor
and nurse all the way back in the consultation room.

The old doctor who just gave Yan Yi an ultrasound saw the alpha rushing
into the consultation room recklessly and frowned, “You still not taking him
home to take good care of him? What are you running for?”

Yan Yi pushed away the hand tightly wrapped around his waist and tilted
his line of sight to the window without speaking.

The old doctor lowered his glasses and looked up at the couple. He always
felt that the atmosphere between the two was odd. Thinking they were
another young couple who only knew how to seek pleasure without caring
for their bodies or taking precautions, he coughed with contempt: “Xian-
sheng, having an abortion now is very damaging to the body, and the
omega’s glands had been operated on before. One cannot guarantee the
supply of pheromones needed by the fetus. The alpha has to put all efforts
into taking care.”

Suddenly, under the astonished gaze of everyone in the consultation room,

Lu Shangjin pulled out a palm-sized brand-new notebook from his pocket
and concentrated on writing down the doctor’s instructions.

Sitting by the side, Yan Yi watched Lu Shangjin’s side profile looking down
to take notes from the reflection of the glass, looking like a teenager
preparing for the college entrance examination in a classroom.

Water flowed into his heart, gently caressing the wounds that had been
dried and cracked for a long time.

Warm yellow curtains were replaced in the bedroom.The tiny floral

embroidery was playful and warm, clustering around a fluffy white rabbit
with a small flower pinned to its ear.

Yan Yi sat against the head of the bed as he touched the soft and delicate
fabric.

He guessed it might be that Lu Shangjin’s assistant had changed and the

new one was more attentive, deliberately taking into account the omega’s
current physical condition when setting up the bedroom.

Hearing footsteps upstairs through the bedroom door, Yan Yi rolled over
and laid down with his back facing the door. He closed his eyes.

Lu Shangjin pushed open the bedroom door, when he saw Yan Yi sleeping,
he lightened his footsteps even more. Holding two pots of cactus in his
arms, he stood in the corner and measured the position before placing each
one pot on the windowsill and on the desk.

He also personally brought a bowl of sticky white fungus soup and put it on
the table. He then sat by the bed and looked at Yan Yi.

“Get up and drink some white fungus soup if you can’t sleep.” Lu Shangjin
gently touched him. “What do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll make it for
you.”

Yan Yi opened his eyes and said lightly, “I don’t want to eat anything.”
“Carrot pie. Okay.” Lu Shangjin propped one hand on the edge of the bed to
look at him. “What about the side dishes? Mixed chrysanthemum or
tomatoes?”

“I said I didn’t want to eat.”

“Ah, mixed chrysanthemum.” Lu Shangjin noted down.

Yan Yi rolled over and sat up, his light grey hair messily covering half of
his rabbit ears.

“Are you very happy?” Yan Yi asked with a cold smile. “Using a child to
kidnap me so I will be trapped by your side all the time. Really, your tactics
are so despicable. What do you take a small child for? A bargaining chip? Is
there anything more important than yourself in your eyes?”

Lu Shangjin patiently released soothing pheromones to calm Yan Yi’s

emotions. Pregnant omegas were sometimes especially irritable and
temperamental. Not to mention, the wound in his little rabbit’s heart had yet
to heal.

“Yes.” Lu Shangjin took the white fungus soup and stirred it before handing
it to him. “I cooked the white fungus for two hours but it didn’t become
sticky and thick. What’s going on?”

Yan Yi stirred it casually. “Isn’t this quite sticky.”

“It’s always not sticky, so I put some lotus root powder into it. The lotus
root powder is sticky.” Lu Shangjin touched his chin, a bit like a husky who
had come over to take the credit after trying to help his owner demolish his
house.

Yan Yi: “…Why aren’t you going to work?”

“Today is Saturday. Eat while it’s hot, baobei.” Lu Shangjin picked up Yan
Yi’s white tender feet curled up under the hem of his pyjamas and kissed
them. “There are two people more important than me: you and the baby.”
“Let go!” Yan Yi forcefully broke free from his ankle that was grabbed, but
Lu Shangjin had already gone downstairs to make noodles.

Yan Yi laid in the bedroom for a while. The more he thought about it, the
more he felt his heart was blocked. Suddenly, he went to the closet and
looked for a shirt. After changing clothes, he took his keys before going
downstairs.

Lu Shangjin stood in the dining room, kneading the noodle dough with his
left hand. His forearm and shirt were covered with flour. When he saw Yan
Yi dressed in a going-out outfit, his face stiffened for a moment.

Then he realized he had no luggage with him, so his tense nerves relaxed
only slightly. “Where are you going? I’ll drive you.”

Yan Yi looked down to pick up the car keys in the drawer.

“Coming back for lunch?” Lu Shangjin soaked the noodles with both hands
before walking to the foyer wearing a light blue apron. “I’ll hire a chef to
come over if you’re bringing a friend back.”

“You can eat by yourself.”

The door coldly flung shut, the cold air from the stairwell hitting Lu
Shangjin’s face. His cheeks, which had been previously slapped by Yan Yi
at the hospital, faintly burned hot.

He went to take a shower and left the dining room in disorder without a
care, then laid on the sofa and stared boredly at the clock on the wall. Every
tick of the minute hand was tormenting.

So he grabbed his work computer and worked on some documents to pass

the time.

There was an additional unsigned email in his mailbox.

Lu Shangjin narrowed his eyes and stared at the three words Shao Wenjing
before drying his dripping hair with a towel.
The interview was held at a restaurant. Shao Wenjing picked up a cup of tea
and took a sip, narrowing his peach blossom eyes slightly when he saw Lu
Shangjin.

There was a momentary exchange of pheromones when the two alpha met.
Shao Wenjing could see that the other’s glowing face was just masking
exhaustion;a stern dignity that would not allow anyone to belittle him.

Lu Shangjin could also feel that the pheromones communicating with him
carried an imperceptible air of illness. The cunning spider was injured.

“President Lu, what would you like to order? This restaurant has quite good
dishes.” Shao Wenjing pushed the menu to Lu Shangjin and smiled
cordially. “My treat.”

Lu Shangjin leaned back in his chair and met his eyes indifferently.
“Business outside the country isn’t good anymore?”

“Let’s not talk about work today and talk about something else?” Shao
Wenjing ordered a table of signature dishes. It was relatively easy to guess
the taste of birds and beasts of prey.

After three rounds of wine, Lu Shangjin pinched the bridge of his nose.

Shao Wenjing’s hand pouring the wine into the mouth of the glass was a
little inaccurate, but he was very polite. “We met once on your uncle’s
cruise ship before. I also understand the purpose of your last visit. I’ve
found the person you want. Send someone to pick them up at my place in
two days.”

Lu Lin’s confidant was one of the few insiders. Lu Shangjin had been
searching for him.

Shao Wenjing continued, “I injected poison into his brain and was able to
pry things out of his mouth without torture.”

“So you do have a heart.” Lu Shangjin slightly raised the corner of his lips.
“I could have let you go at first; a person with a child is always a bit
difficult. But you touched my person, this can’t be ignored.”

“This is a misunderstanding.” Shao Wenjing smiled apologetically. “I

admire Yan Yi, so I can’t help it. You have to admit, your omega is very
attractive.”

Lu Shangjin raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Today I am mainly here to explain something to you. Before, I would have

taken him away regardless of the consequences. I just couldn’t bear it this
time.

“At the time, his lower body was covered in blood and was hiding in the
closet in fear. You know, rabbits are too easily frightened.

“When I opened the wardrobe, he looked at me in fear and said…”

Lu Shangjin couldn’t maintain his mask of calm and indifference. He raised

his eyes and asked, “What did he say?”

“Uh, he said …… ‘Jin ge, someone is bullying me’.” Shao Wenjing

coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment. “I think he had mistaken me
for you.”

The pupils of Lu Shangjin’s eyes trembled slightly as his left hand under the
table clenched tightly into a fist, his white knuckles cracking. Yan Yi’s
fearful and weak expression lingered in front of his eyes. He felt his
fingertips rip through his palm with utter hatred, the pain of regret making
him gasp for breath.

When he got up to leave, Shao Wenjing stood up to see him out. “President
Lu, because I still have to raise a child, please have mercy.”

In the past few months, his company had been stirred up, losing orders to
customers. At the same time, the mafia had been eyeing him. He had to
return to headquarters to take care of business, but as soon as he left the
country, he would be intercepted and killed.
After a little investigation, he found out that Lu Shangjin had something to
do with it, and there were even people rushing to flatter him.

If that was all, Shao Wenjing could clean it up by himself, but he had Lu
Shangjin’s ruthless means to worry about, and whether he would make a
move on Wenchi if he was urgent.

Tired of talking, Lu Shangjin asked the driver to turn around.

The driver asked where to go. Lu Shangjin rubbed his dull aching temples
and hesitantly dialed Yan Yi’s number.

The phone near Yan Yi suddenly vibrated. Yan Yi felt it out and glanced at
it. Guessing that it would be a harassment call from Lu Shangjin, he pressed
the mute button and let it pass.

While driving, Tan Meng asked, “Why don’t you answer it?”

Yan Yi was sitting in the passenger seat, his elbow on the edge of the
window as he held a box of yogurt to eat:

“He doesn’t deserve it.”

Tan Meng slapped the steering wheel as he laughed gloatingly. “You’re

right, alphas can’t get used to it. Too easily flattered.”

The car slowly came to a stop outside the airport. Tan Meng put on his
sunglasses before getting out of the car and sending a voice message.
“Landed yet? The two most handsome omegas of Chang Hui Airport are
waiting for you.”

The warm air in the car was too strong, so Yan Yi took a breath and said,
“It’s not very cold today. Your friend is lucky, it was below zero yesterday.”

An omega came out of the airport exit, dressed in black leather and
wrapped in a tea-colored scarf. He hurriedly dragged a suitcase full of
check-in strips and ran over, hugging Tan Meng excitedly.
The omega took off his fleece cap and sunglasses, revealing a white and
innocent face with dark eyes. He shook hands with Yan Yi. “My name is
Cang Xiaoer, hamster omega, milk tea hamster.”

Yan Yi stiffened for a few seconds, and then replied, a little at a loss for
words. “Yan Yi, lop-eared rabbit omega, type is teacup rabbit.”

After reacting, he covered his eyes with embarrassment, why did he have to
introduce his breed?

Cang Xiaoer wrapped his arm around Tan Meng and laughed his head off.
“Going to play?”

The omegas hogged a pool table. Yan Yi leaned over and pressed the table
top, his index finger lightly resting on the club.

The ball went into the hole. Tan Meng sat sideways on the table and rubbed
the shell powder on the club head, “Master Meng will show you a dead
corner ball.”

Hamster.

Cang Xiaoer gently touched Yan Yi with his elbow. He didn’t know if it
was an illusion, but he kept having this feeling like he was hated.

After taking a bath in the hot spring of the club’s spa, the three of them
went to the bar.

Cang Xiaoer ordered an iced cocktail at the bar and asked Yan Yi what he
wanted to drink. Yan Yi looked at it and just ordered a glass of room
temperature juice.

Tan Meng sat on an armchair with a notebook and coded words, eating
snacks while catching up on tonight’s updates.

Only Yan Yi and Cang Xiaoer were left chatting on the high stools in front
of the bar. The two were not introverts and had already become familiar
with each other after playing for a day.
Their conversation quickly turned to mention the PBB serial number on
Cang Xiaoer’s body. In order to escape the surveillance of PBB, he had a
genius idea to find a matching low-grade gland replacement. But at the
exact moment, he was captured by an alpha to have a gland replacement for
his own lover. At that time, he was given a dormant needle, but his grade
hadn’t been seen.

“At first, it was almost done, but they suddenly refused to change. They
wanted to find a backer but couldn’t find one, so I had to flee abroad. It was
a pity to be dressed in white.”

Yan Yi’s fingers stiffened slightly. “…… For glands?”

“Mm, the alpha looking for me is the president of the Flying Eagle group.
Ai, have you heard of it?

“……” Yan Yi clenched the glass tightly. The clean glass reflected his
helpless wry smile. Suddenly, he felt relieved. He released the glass and
said with a snort: “He told me that the replacement was a gland donated by
someone else in the freezer, and said he had asked a friend to look for it for
a long time.”

Cang Xiaoer choked on his cocktail. Lying on the surface of the bar, he
coughed hard.

“Lu Shangjin is that kind of person.” Yan Yi scratched his hair, lazily lying
on the bar. “What he wants to do, he does it. He can do whatever he wants.
He should go and spend a few years in jail ……”

How did this alpha, whom he once liked so much he had gone crazy for
him, turn out this bad?

“Senior…” Cang Xiaoer came over to take his shivering shoulders. At a

loss for what to do, he soothed him with the scent of cream.

Suddenly, he shouted as if he was frightened. Cang Xiaoer turned around

with his little tail covered and stared at the two alphas standing behind
them.
One of the alphas was holding a handful of tea-colored hair pulled from his
little tail in his hand. He raised his chin playfully and frivolously. “Wanna
play with some of us gege?”

The other alpha went to hold Yan Yi’s shoulder. They had been observing
the two omegas for a long time, and immediately went into a rut when they
met the fragrant and soft omegas bodies.

“Please show some respect.” Yan Yi subconsciously protected his lower

abdomen and plucked away the hands on his body. Even without the A3
glands, the years of combat training would be enough to deal with a few
hooligans.

The strong pheromones of the alphas in rut made Yan Yi very

uncomfortable. Wanting to avoid it, he pulled Cang Xiaoer up and walked
away.

The glass door of the bar was suddenly pushed open, and the heavy
oppressive scent of an M2 alpha swept over with every step into the bar.

Lu Shangjin stepped in with the cold breeze outside the door and walked in
front of Yan Yi without looking elsewhere. As he approached, the
surrounding alphas backed up to make way.

He took the juice out of Yan Yi’s hand and pushed it to the side. Holding the
edge of the bar counter, he lowered his head close to Yan Yi.

Yan Yi was stunned. When he got closer, he could see that there was a layer
of pink over the alpha’s cheeks from drunkenness.

Lu Shangjin grabbed Yan Yi’s hand and pressed it to his heart. He seemed
awake, but his eyes were misty and cloudy.

“Wife, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

 Chap 72

“You go and sober up first.” Yan Yi pushed away his alcoholic smelling
body. Lu Shangjin wasn’t standing steadily and so he took half a step back.

Stunned, he stood blankly for a few seconds, then saw the hamster omega
standing beside Yan Yi and backed away quietly in embarrassment.

Yan Yi’s sickly weak voice on the phone echoed in his mind.

“Jin Ge, do you really like hamsters that much? If I pinch my ears, I can
look like a hamster too.”

Lu Shangjin hugged Yan Yi despite his pushes, murmuring, “You don’t look
like a hamster, you don’t look like a hamster, rabbits are cute.”

“We’ll talk about it when we get back.” Yan Yi sat on a stool and tore Lu
Shangjin off his body before waving to Tan Meng and Cang Xiaoer, then
dragged Lu Shangjin out of the clubhouse.

Maybe after drinking too much, he would develop the instinct to find a
toilet. Yan Yi went and brewed a cup of sobering tea, but couldn’t find him
once he returned. He found him lying on the edge of the toilet in the
bathroom.

“How much have you had to drink?” Yan Yi slipped the sobering tea into
his hand.

“Eight or nine taels.” Lu Shangjin sat on the ground and leaned against the
wall, staring up at the overhead light.
Yan Yi frowned, reaching out his hand to shield his eyes, “Don’t stare at the
lights.”

“I’m staring at Yan Yan.” Lu Shangjin removed his hand and stared at the
lights, lost in thought. His light was no longer willing to burn itself to
illuminate him; it had left decisively and he could not catch up to it.

Unspeakable sourness spread throughout his whole body. Yan Yi leaned

against the door, letting Lu Shangjin calm himself for a while before going
to clean up the dining room.

There was still a bowl of half-made noodles on the table, which were mixed
with each other for a long time. After a day of drying up, they became hard
lumps.

Chopped carrots and ground beef fillings were cut into irregular sizes and
arranged in the kitchen. In order to make Yan Yi willing to eat some meat,
Lu Shangjin went to great pains to do so.

Yan Yi was washing dishes when someone suddenly hugged him from
behind.

Seemingly sober and focused, Lu Shangjin dried Yan Yi’s hands for him.
Because of his drunkenness, his body wasn’t very obedient. After feeling
for the detergent several times, he finally took it in his hand and squeezed it
onto the dishcloth with a trembling motion, then bowed his head to scrub
the bowl.

“You must be very tired carrying the baby outside for the whole day. You
should go to bed, I’ll clean up here.” Lu Shangjin seemed a little tired, his
body slumped to the wall and leaned against it, scrubbing the chopsticks
and knives clean.

His right hand was trembling slightly again. When he was wiping the knife,
the part of his hand between the thumb and the index finger got cut.

“That’s enough, don’t make things worse.” Yan Yi turned on the faucet to
rinse the foam and blood from Lu Shangjin’s hand and drew a tissue for
him to stop the bleeding by himself, then turned around to find alcohol and
band-aids.

Like a child being criticised, he stood by the sink and pressed his wound.

“Yan Yan…did you hurt your hands when washing dishes before?”

Yan Yi paused slightly in his steps. He put the alcohol and band-aids on the
table and told him to clean up the dining room, kitchen and himself, and
then went upstairs.

Lu Shangjin inexplicably followed him to the bottom of the stairs. He tilted

his head slightly to look at him going up the stairs. It wasn’t until Yan Yi
entered the bedroom and closed the door that Lu Shangjin’s lonely gaze was
cut off.

He sat down at the table to disinfect the wound on his hand. The smell of
alcohol was so strong that it masked the sweet scent of milk-candy that had
touched the bottle.

Yan Yi buried his face into the pillow and irritably turned over and over in
bed, unable to sleep.

His WeChat alert sounded. Yan Yi picked up to see the message. Tan Meng
had sent a dozen of today’s group photos, and Cang Xiaoer sent a “humble
hamster” emoji.

I’m not I’m not a little hamster: Ah Yan, don’t misunderstand. Although I
have a high compatibility with your husband, he really doesn’t mean
anything to me. He wanted to replace my glands with you the first time he
saw me. I don’t know what happened between you two. In my opinion, Lu
xian-sheng may have used the wrong method, but it’s not as bad as you
think…

Yan Yi replied with a few words of comfort and said good night.

Others don’t understand Lu Shangjin, he does. With a typical alpha’s

character of irritability, conceitedness and possessiveness, Lu Shangjin
made so much commotion now wasn’t because he wanted a piece of candy,
but because Yan Yi wasn’t giving it to him as he wished.

Yan Yi often saw children who are several years old catch ants and throw
them into the water, watching them struggle and swim in the water, and
finally drown. They were childish yet cruel, but it was obvious they were
not malicious either.

He curled up on his side and gently stroked his small belly that had
developed a slight curve.

The little one in the belly was getting lively day by day, occasionally
moving around mischievously.

He was still a little uncomfortable by night time. Yan Yi hugged the

eiderdown quilt, not sleeping soundly.

Every night at twelve o’clock, Lu Shangjin would quietly walk in on time

and sit by the bed to release enough soothing pheromones for him.

Yan Yi didn’t fall asleep, but closed his eyes and refused to wake up. The
excessive amount of soothing pheromones wrapped around the body had
actually eased the difficulty of pregnancy to a great extent.

However, Yan Yi couldn’t convince himself to accept this disturbing open

offer.

Today’s soothing pheromones were not as strong as before, and the

concentration was unstable. It may be that some of it had been consumed
from him going out and fooling around in the past two days. Yan Yi didn’t
want to think too much.

Lu Shangjin sat by the bed and waited for a long time. When he felt that
Yan Yi had fallen asleep, he gently reached out to touch his back.

After making sure that Yan Yi had fallen asleep and wouldn’t drive him
away, he laid down on the edge of the bed. He didn’t dare to hold the omega
completely in his arms, and could only smell him from half a foot away.
During the two days of his business trip, Lu Shangjin had been anxiously
thinking about the omega at home. Not even staying for one more night, he
took the latest flight to come back and hadn’t had time to rest.

He was a little tired and was looking forward to the omega’s soothing
pheromones, just a little, enough to lift his spirits.

Yan Yi suddenly rolled over and looked at him lightly.

Lu Shangjin, who was about to fall asleep, opened his eyes drowsily and
subconsciously released soothing pheromones.

“Will it work, when our compatibility is so low?” Yan Yi asked.

There were no lights on in the bedroom. Through the darkness, Yan Yi

vaguely saw the hurt in Lu Shangjin’s eyes.

It turned out that saying thorny words would also cause himself pain, but
was not too much to say that it was revenge to taste the pain of stabbing the
other in the heart.

After a long time, Lu Shangjin asked hoarsely, “It wouldn’t work even a
little?”

Yan Yi gave a light hum and rolled over to hide under the covers.

Very quickly, the soothing pheromones around them doubled in intensity,

and Lu Shangjin reluctantly asked from behind him, “What about now.”

Yan Yi stopped answering.

After about ten minutes or so, the soothing pheromones gradually faded.
The alpha nearly tripped as he got out of bed, holding his shoulder as he
slowly walked out.

Yan Yi fished out his phone from under the pillow and flipped aimlessly
through his photo album. He stayed on each photo of two people embracing
each other sweetly. The screen was too bright, his eyes turned sore, and
there was wetness going down along the corner of his eyes.
In the morning, the sun was just right, shining through the warm yellow
bunny curtains into the bedroom.

Assistant Xiao Ning came over to deliver fresh vegetables and fruits,
cleaned up the refrigerator, and brought in two pots of flowers from outside
the door. Two heavy-petaled daffodils were in full bloom.

When Yan Yi saw that he was struggling, he came to help him carry them.

“Don’t, don’t, don’t, you leave it to me.” Xiao Ning didn’t dare to let the
boss’s wife work while he was carrying the dragon’s seed. He raised his
face and smiled with ease, before moving the flower pots to the balcony.

Yan Yi went to pour Xiao Ning a glass of water and leaned over the balcony
to chat with him, “The curtains in the bedroom are well chosen. It feels very
comfortable using them.”

Xiao Ning patted the dirt on his hands, straightened up and recalled
puzzledly, “Curtains? Oh, oh, boss picked them. I was afraid you wouldn’t
like it at the time, but boss said you’d like it. Boss still knows you well.”

Yan Yi’s smile was frozen on the corner of his lips. He stared blankly at the
two pots of daffodils brought by Xiao Ning for a while.

One moment assistant Xiao Ning left, the next moment Lu Shangjin came
back early from work, bringing a small slice of strawberry cake to Yan Yi.

Yan Yi walked through the foyer and looked at him.

Lu Shangjin handed him the cake box with a rose in its carrying handle.

He thought he would refuse as usual, but Yan Yi reached out and took it.

Lu Shangjin’s eyes became a little excited.

Yan Yi drew the roses out and threw them onto the table, taking the
strawberry cake upstairs, before turning back and said, “Put those two pots
of flowers in your room. It smells disgusting.”
Lu Shangjin’s shoulders shook. He gripped the staircase railing hard and
looked up at him, “Did I provoke you again today?”

Yan Yi turned back and leaned over the railing to look at him, “Is that
enough?”

Lu Shangjin sped up the stairs, grabbed Yan Yi’s hands and pressed him to
the wall. With his big hands cushioning the back of his head, he lowered his
head and dropped a sloppy kiss on the corner of his lips.

“Baobei, don’t say that.” Lu Shangjin put his head against the crook of Yan
Yi’s shoulder and said with a smile, “I’m very sad.”

Yan Yi lowered his eyelids, and his eyes fell on the alpha’s thin and capable
waist.

He had lost a little weight.

As this thought wormed into his mind, Yan Yi disorderly stopped himself
from thinking any further.

“Want to go see a movie tonight?” Lu Shangjin rubbed against his ear,

“There are three new movies on. Want to pick one?”

Yan Yi felt like he was going to spoil the fun again.

“I don’t like movies that much.”

The one who just liked to accompany him to watch movies in the beginning
had also, with extension of his love, left a CD as well. The sweetness that
he savoured when repeatedly replaying the movie was that two people
reached into the empty popcorn bucket at the same time; Yan Yi grabbed
the popcorn and Lu Shangjin grabbed his fingertips.

He went upstairs and went back to his bedroom, leaving Lu Shangjin sitting
alone on the stair steps, his back bowed in an arc with a sense of loss.

Yan Yi sat at his bedroom desk and unboxed the cake. He ate the creamy
strawberries spread all over the top layer and listened to the sound of Lu
Shangjin moving the flower pots outside the door.

That night, Yan Yi woke up in a daze. He glanced at the phone, it was

12:05.

Lu Shangjin usually came on time. He would come at twelve o’clock in the

middle of the night and stayed for half an hour to release soothing
pheromones for him.

Yan Yi got up to go to the bathroom and found that the door to the study
was half closed with the lamp still on. Lu Shangjin was asleep with his head
buried in front of the computer.

Before he knew it, he had walked to the door of the study. Yan Yi hesitated
for a moment and stepped in with soft suede slippers.

Walking to the desk, Yan Yi saw a pile of documents by Lu Shangjin’s

hand, all of which were private information about PBB.

Only the lamp was turned on in the study; the warm white beam spread
across the side of Lu Shangjin’s face, casting a deep shadow from the
bridge of his nose and eye sockets.

Yan Yi looked at it for a long time before he took his eyes off Lu Shangjin’s
face.

Only to find that the entire wall was covered with frames of varying sizes.

They were all selected from their travel photos. Yan Yi looked over one by
one, remembering that each one was what he had told he liked to Lu
Shangjin on the plane.

In addition to the travel photos, there were some sneaky shots taken in
awkward angles, all of Yan Yi. Some were of him nestled in the swing sofa
in the balcony, dozing off, while some were of his face staring out at the
balcony.

He saw an old group photo of a ten-year-old Lu Shangjin with a seven-year-

old bunny standing next to him. The photo was also sealed with plastic, but
he could tell from the marks that it was not in his collection.

Yan Yi walked past half of the wall, grasping his lapel and holding it tightly
in his palm, hesitating to stop walking.

He suddenly saw two pairs of small shoes placed on the bookshelf; a pair of
light blue, a pair of light yellow, both similarly delicate and lovely, and
there was also a pile of new and beautiful baby clothes pressed under the
shoes.
 Chap 73

Edited and Proofread by: cream

At four or five o’clock in the morning, Lu Shangjin got up and sobered up

for a while. He forgot the time while he was working last night. After
glancing at his watch hazily, he suddenly woke up.

The study was permeated with a faint sweet scent of milk-candy. Surprised,
Lu Shangjin settled his heart down to identify it, and the corners of his lips
bent in excitement. He stumbled onto the second floor, not bothering to care
about his slowly numbing legs from his sleep.

Yan Yi had fallen asleep, half lying down in the soft quilt and curled into a
ball.

Lu Shangjin sat by the bedside and looked at him through the twilight of the
curtains. He half knelt down on the bed, stealthily pulling away the
eiderdown quilt held tightly in Yan Yi’s hand bit by bit and covering him
back up. Holding the rabbit’s soft face, he let him lie on his side so as to not
press onto the baby.

The waist of his sleep-crumpled pyjama pants was tightened around half of
his rabbit tail, while half of his snow-white waist was exposed outside. Lu
Shangjin smiled silently and stuffed the small tail back into his pyjamas and
lifted it up.

Yan Yi moved slightly, his rabbit ears flung up and covered his face again.

Startled, Lu Shangjin, immediately held his breath and retreated quietly. He

only sat back down with ease when there was no movement on the bed for a
long time.
Leaning down, he lifted the small ears plastered on Yan Yi’s face and
tucked them back. He then gazed at his peaceful sleeping face, gently
touching the tip of his slightly twitching nose. His whole heart was filled to
the brim with a stream of water, incomparably soft and peaceful.

He must still have me in his heart.

Lu Shangjin was secretly happy for a while, but his brow wrinkled with
distress, gently touching his faintly rounded belly.

Would Yan Yan like this child who came regardless of his own will? Would
Yan Yi, because of his resentment towards Lu Shangjin, then resent this
child who made him tie himself to Lu Shangjin’s side?

He was pregnant with this nameless little guy every day. Was it very
laborious for Yan Yan, was he having a very hard time?

“I did something wrong again.” Lu Shangjin sat beside him, vexed.

Yan Yi kept moving around in his sleep, his right hand scratched the root of
his tail and he was reaching the edge of the bed.

His hand was held in Lu Shangjin’s palm, his rough fingertips rubbing the
tiny tattoo on his ring finger.

Lu Shangjin kissed the string of tiny flowery English words then secretly
took out the ring from his pocket. He carefully put it on Yan Yi’s ring finger
and held it in the palm of his hand to study it carefully.

Yan Yi had put on a little weight so his bony knuckles had rounded a little,
but still looked slightly slender even after wearing the ring.

Lu Shangjin fished out his phone, and with a beam of light through the
curtains, he spent five minutes finding an angle to take a picture of the two
people wearing rings with their fingers intertwined.

He looked at it in concentration for a while, then set the picture as his

screensaver before putting the phone in his pocket. He laid quietly behind
Yan Yi and held the rabbit in his arms from behind, his warm palms holding
Yan Yi’s hand with the ring on, protecting his slightly curved belly together.

The little rabbit was like milk jelly in his arms. Lu Shangjin wantonly stuck
to him a little closer, lightly rubbing his sweat gland with the tip of its nose.

“I want to mark you.”

Lu Shangjin puckered his lips and kissed his glands, releasing soothing
pheromones for him.

When tiredness struck him, half awake and half asleep, Lu Shangjin
dreamed of Yan Yi again, standing in a place he couldn’t touch and coldly
asking him “Will it work, when our compatibility is so low?”

Lu Shangjin woke up with a jolt. His own glands had been releasing too
much soothing pheromones in his sleep and had become dry and hot.

The little rabbit was still sleeping well in his arms.

Lu Shangjin breathed gently to ease his palpitating heartbeat and glanced at

the time. It was nearly six o’clock.

He put on his slippers and headed out, then scrambled back to quietly take
off the ring he put on for Yan Yi and put it back into his pocket in a
cherishing manner before exiting Yan Yi’s bedroom.

The little rabbit ears suddenly cocked up and listened to the surroundings.

Yan Yi heard the sound of water in the bathroom. Rubbing his eyes and
sitting up, he scratched the root of his tail through his pyjama pants.

The bedroom was filled with the mild smell of narcissus pheromones. Yan
Yi felt behind him; half of the bed behind him still had the residual
temperature of the alpha lying there.

He came today as well. Yan Yi frowned, lifted the thin quilt and got out of
bed.
On the stairs, he saw Lu Shangjin bustling about in the bathroom, holding a
syringe and injecting it into his forearm; it looked like he was injecting a rut
inhibitor.

After injecting, Lu Shangjin walked out holding the wall and went back to
his bedroom.

When Lu Shangjin’s bedroom was closed, Yan Yi went downstairs to look

around in the bathroom and picked up a syringe with its needle and package
removed from the garbage can.

He then rummaged through the medical kit again. There were only a few
inhibitors left inside.

Yan Yi rummaged halfway when he suddenly froze and slowly pushed the
medical kit back to its original position. He threw the syringe back into the
trash, before washing his hands while staring at himself in the mirror with
dissatisfaction at Lu Shangjin not living up to expectations and not making
progress.

He didn’t allow himself to think about anything else related to Lu Shangjin.

He went upstairs and locked himself in his bedroom, sending a message to
the group to all members in his circle.

Yan Yi: Wanna go out to play for a couple days?

Tan Meng: Yes.

Cang Xiaoer: Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes I wanna go to Yun Nan what

about you guys?

Bi Ruijing: ??? No.

Bi Ruijing was removed from the group chat.

The next afternoon, Lu Shangjin rushed to the airport after receiving a

message saying that Yan Yi and the rest were passing the security check.
He turned around and saw Lu Shangjin looking anxiously at his side, so he
pretended not to see him and went into the waiting hall holding his bag, an
arm around Cang Xiaoer’s neck.

In the waiting hall, Yan Yi stared at the countless messages flashing on his
phone and kept silent.

Later, Lu Shangjin sent him 300,000 yuan: Hope you have fun, baobei. I
miss you so much, hope you’ll send me some photos.

Cang Xiaoer came over and wagged his little tail as he squeezed next to
Yan Yi, “He’s so good to you, no one ever calls me baobei.”

Stunned, Yan Yi turned off the screen and raised his eyebrow with a smile,
“Baobei.”

The three stayed together for ten days in Yun Nan.

Lu Shangjin wanted to see the photos from Yan Yi, but Yan Yi didn’t send
him any.

Finally, he found a group photo of the three omegas from Bi Ruijing’s

wife’s travel photos.

Lu Shangjin zoomed in to look carefully at Yan Yi’s smiling face,

unconsciously smiling too. He then printed out the photos and hung them
on the photo wall in the study.

After taking a few more calls from doctors, he opened his computer and
started working.

The night of Yan Yi’s pickup, Lu Shangjin waited an hour in advance for
Yan Yi to land.

When Yan Yi saw Lu Shangjin, he froze for a moment and casually asked,
“How did you know I was coming back today?”

There was the smell of disinfectant on him. He probably just came out of
the hospital not long ago.
“How could I feel at ease when I don’t keep an eye on you, running around
with a little baby.” Lu Shangjin helped him put his suitcase into the car and
pretended to unintentionally stop in front of him, looking forward to
receiving a hug of reunion after being apart for a long time.

After standing awkwardly for a while, Yan Yi felt that Lu Shangjin was a
little disappointed, but habitually disguised it as a smile.

When Yan Yi put his hand on the door, Lu Shangjin felt that his brain was
buzzing all of a sudden, losing all his consciousness.

The tattoo on his right ring finger had been washed off.

Maybe this was like the feeling of being struck by lightning. There was a
light flashing in front of his eyes, and then it became dark.

On the way back, Lu Shangjin never spoke again.

After arriving home, he made a bowl of pumpkin porridge for Yan Yi as a

midnight snack and went back to his bedroom without a word.

Across the bedroom door, Yan Yi heard a flurry of noise smashing random
things from inside.

He sat at the table, stirring the soft, porridge rice in the bowl and examining
the scar on his ring finger where the tattoo had been removed.

It hurt so much when he washed away his love; even leaving a scar that
couldn’t be removed.

When removing the tattoo, Yan Yi thought about Lu Shangjin’s expression

after seeing it, guessing whether he would be furious or would have a big
fight with him; either way it would give him the satisfaction of revenge.

Looking at the hot porridge on the table, he felt less happy again. Stroking
the increasingly obvious belly under his shirt, he asked in a daze:

“Baby, are you happy like this?”

In order to welcome Yan Yi back, the house was specially cleaned. Yan Yi
cleaned up the dishes and went to turn off the lights in the study
conveniently.

But as soon as he walked into the study, Yan Yi’s steps were a little stuck.
His line of sight scanned over the photos on the wall again and again.

He found a new picture frame on the wall. It was the group photo from their
outing. Remembering that he didn’t send it, he wondered where Lu
Shangjin found it from.

His heart felt a little unpleasant.

There were also several sets of small clothes on the bookshelf, almost piled
up a layer. The folding method was too clumsy and ugly that Yan Yi
couldn’t look past it, so he took down the small clothes, shook them one by
one, and folded them neatly.

When he shook open one of the clothes, a hidden note fell out of it.

The paper was crumpled and covered with tapes, piecing the scattered
pieces of paper together into its original state.

“I will love you even at twenty-seven.” The bottom right corner was signed
with Yan Yi’s name.

Yan Yi bit his nails and tried to endure the spreading and tightening of the
roots and vines in his heart. He didn’t know which seed received a drop of
water but the tender bud was desperately pressing against the tape on his
heart that was used to patch up the hidden cracks.

The little one in his belly was woken up by his father’s violent mood
swings, angrily kicking around in Yan Yi’s body. Without the comfort from
his alpha father for ten days in a row, it was almost making a fuss.

Yan Yi was hurt by it. He covered his stomach and knelt down, stroking and
soothing the baby in his belly.
It was really hard for a pregnant omega to go through a long period of time
without getting alpha pheromones, but Yan Yi just stubbornly wanted to
stay away from him, desperately trying to prove to himself that he didn’t
need anyone.

Yan Yi laid on the floor weakly, curled up as he comforted, “Baby be good,

daddy hurts.”

“Good baby, daddy really hurts… don’t fuss, daddy will take you back to
bed…”

He braced himself on the edge of the table and stood up, but he missed and
broke the ashtray.

A minute later, the study door was hurriedly pushed open. Lu Shangjin’s
eyes were slightly red. When he found Yan Yi lying on the floor, his eyes
widened before rushing over to take him in his arms and carried him up to
the second floor.

He was releasing soothing pheromones the whole way, murmuring soothing

words that Yan Yi couldn’t hear clearly.

His stomach quieted down and Yan Yi relaxed a bit, leaning weakly into the
crook of the alpha’s shoulder.

Lu Shangjin didn’t let go of him, but held him tightly and sat on the bed,
kissing his forehead and slowly increasing the concentration of the soothing
pheromones.

The alpha’s warm large hands placed carefully on the omega’s small belly,
but Yan Yi impatiently pushed his hands away.

Lu Shangjin suddenly refused to comply with him, like a child feeling

aggrieved and stubbornly continued to put his hand back on his stomach.

“He’s also my child, I want to touch him.”

I want to touch…
 Chap 74

Yan Yi was unable to resist him, and didn’t have enough energy to argue
with an alpha.

Lu Shangjin’s palm plastered itself against the bulging belly, carefully

touching it centimeter by centimeter, afraid to hurt the omega and afraid to
wake the baby inside. Suddenly, he felt a gentle push against his palm.

Did the baby just kick him?

The alpha’s attention was instantly drawn to the bottom of his palm. He
lowered his head, concentrated on looking for it, wanting to see if the
naughty little guy would move again.

Yan Yi rarely saw Lu Shangjin’s focused expression. Being so close, he

could clearly see the little bit of tenderness in his reddening eyes.

He released soothing pheromones, and the little one in his belly, not
knowing whether it was soothed by the pheromones or frightened by his
dad, obediently stopped moving around.

“Lu Yan is so well behaved,” Lu Shangjin gently praised the baby.

Yan Yi recalled this name quietly. He had written it in his notebook and
remembered that he crossed out a name and changed it to Lu Yan at the
time.

Unfortunately, it was a false pregnancy and the baby he had been yearning
for came late.
He was lost in thought when he was suddenly picked up and put on the bed
with two soft pillows behind him.

Lu Shangjin sat on the edge of the bed, willingly bearing the responsibility
of rubbing his slightly swollen calves and feet.

“Baobei, when your pregnancy is further along, don’t keep running out
without saying a word. I’m worried about you two.” Lu Shangjin lowered
his eyes and held back from looking at Yan Yi’s ring finger to avoid
spreading a layer of salt on his newly injured wound.

Noticing Lu Shangjin’s evasive gaze, Yan Yi looked at his ring finger.

“Are you very sad?” Yan Yi actually didn’t want to stimulate him, but he
couldn’t help wanting to draw his attention by deliberately provoking him.

The hand rubbing his calf suddenly paused. Without looking up, Lu
Shangjin continued to rub Yan Yi’s ankle.

He reluctantly pulled out an ugly smile. “Very sad. I heard removing a

tattoo is very painful. Did you cry?”

Yan Yi was silent and tilted his head to the side, but he didn’t kick him
away nor struggle to resist again.

“It’s time for your checkup tomorrow. Sleep early.” Lu Shangjin kissed him
on the forehead and whispered good night.

He went downstairs and stood in a daze in the empty living room.

Looking at the marriage certificate printed by Bi Ruijing on his phone, his

fingers gently caressed the red cover on the screen. He fantasised about
coming home from work: Yan Yi would come to receive the roses and gifts
he would bring back; would take a bite or two after he finished a table full
of dishes, and then give him a smile and affirmation.

He had never been so envious of having a family as he did today. Sitting on

the sofa all night, cigarette butts accumulated in the ashtray.
When the little one in Yan Yi’s belly grew to four months old, they went to
An Fei Ya Hospital for a checkup.

Looking at the image of the cute little one taking shape, Lu Shangjin
pushed a card to the doctor, vaguely excited as he held the edge of the table
and leaned over to ask about the baby’s sex.

The old doctor pushed down his glasses and looked at him before pushing
the card back. “Just go back and take good care of your wife. Use snacks
and keep up with his nutrition.”

Yan Yi sat on the side, looking at him. When he had just seen the baby, the
light and stability in his eyes immediately cooled down. He asked with
suspicion and vigilance, “Are you saying you don’t want it if it’s not an
alpha?”

Lu Shangjin simply felt so wronged. He held Yan Yi’s shoulder and coaxed
him for a long time, “Wife, do I dare to? An alpha’s position is so low.”

Yan Yi shook his shoulders, refusing to let him hold them.

Ten minutes later, Lu Shangjin came back from the pharmacy after picking
up the medicine. He just rounded the corner when he saw Yan Yi sitting on
the bench in the hallway, talking to Xia Jingtian.

The two talked and laughed. Lu Shangjin saw the kindness on Yan Yi’s face
as he touched Xia Jingtian’s head like an elder showing his fondness for a
junior.

If there was no mark, Yan Yi wouldn’t have fallen in love with Lu Shangjin
at all. After all, a 96% compatibility fit was just not the same.

Lu Shangjin thought he would be furious like before, but his own emotions
were far less violent than he thought they would be. He just felt a chill from
the bottom of his heart, and his hands were cold with sweat.

It had become a habit to pull himself together and put on a look of

indifference to hide his emotions. If forcibly taking Yan Yi as his own
would only bring him endless pain and suffering, then he could let go and
leave a little freedom and dignity for himself. Being deeply conscious of the
right thing to do on the surface was just an excuse to a love he couldn’t get.

He turned around and left.

As soon as he took two steps, he turned back. Even before he could react,
he pulled Yan Yi into his arms, looking down and asking him if he wanted
to pick some daily necessities for the baby later.

Xia Jingtian leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets, licking
his lower lip and smiled. “What’s wrong, ge? I’m not here to steal sister-in-
law. This is my family’s hospital.”

Yan Yi didn’t give face to Lu Shangjin in front of the child. He gave a faint
answer before going out of the door and sitting in the car.

Xia Jingtian looked back at the door and raised his chin slightly, glancing at
Lu Shangjin’s right shoulder, “Find time to stay over at the hospital as soon
as possible.”

Lu Shangjin weighed the medicine he just took. “He can’t have nobody
around. Let’s wait until the baby is born.”

Lu Shangjin accompanied Yan Yi to the baby store for a full two hours. Soft
music played in the store and couples holding a baby could constantly be
seen. Yan Yi stood by the shelf and concentrated on picking a baby bib.

It was easy to become relaxed in a safe and cozy environment. Yan Yi

gently rubbed the bib to test out its softness, while Lu Shangjin stood to one
side and absentmindedly glanced over to Yan Yi.

There was already a small but obvious curve to Yan Yi’s small belly, but not
so much as to make him clumsy. Picking up a small light-yellow bib, he
touched the rabbit ears on the top and smiled. When he looked up to where
Lu Shangjin was standing, he didn’t have time to restrain his smile.
He happened to meet Lu Shangjin’s eyes, but saw that the alpha’s cheeks
were flushed red.

Lu Shangjin immediately avoided Yan Yi’s probing eyes, holding his chest
as his beating heart accelerated, falling into a confused daze.

Finally, they bought two large bags of baby supplies and went home.

Yan Yi sorted out the new purchases while watching TV, arranging the
pacifiers, bibs, diapers and small clothes and hats into several categories.

A large object suddenly stuck to his back. Lu Shangjin stuck to him from
behind, wrapping his hands around his bulging belly and kissed the back of
his neck, whispering, “Wifey, you look so good today.”

“What are you doing?” Disgusted at his intimacy, Yan Yi struggled hard,
but was pushed down on the sofa. The alpha leaned over and pressed him
down, careful to avoid Yan Yi’s belly. He lowered his head to cup his
cheeks for a kiss.

“I miss you…” Lu Shangjin was a little out of control. At first, he just

couldn’t help but want to hug him, but didn’t know how he ended up
kissing him so blatantly. His Yan Yan was so sweet and beautiful, how
could he resist him?

“Get off–!” Yan Yi couldn’t bear it. He pushed Lu Shangjin away, lifting his
foot and kicking him heavily on his right shoulder. He kicked him a few
steps away, before packing up the things on the sofa and going up to the
second floor, fed up. He then locked the bedroom and said scornfully,
“Horny1 bastard.”

Lu Shangjin stumbled two steps back, holding his painfully swollen right
shoulder and raising his head up to explain, “I just want to kiss you; nothing
else. Please believe me…”

…I won’t hurt you.

The door to the second floor remained tightly closed.

After his consciousness sobered up a bit, he touched his bitten lip
regretfully. He went into the bathroom and locked the door. Halfway
through rummaging for his inhibitor, his right hand shook violently.

He was in his rut and wasn’t aware of it. Fortunately, he was pushed away
as he was more afraid of hurting Yan Yan.

Yan Yi locked himself in the bedroom and leaned against the door, holding
a large bag of small clothes. After calming down for a while, he sat down at
the desk and fiddled with the crumpled paper crane hanging on the neck of
the lamp.

He could hint to himself that he was resisting Lu Shangjin’s touch, but he

couldn’t control himself from being moved by him.

Everything Lu Shangjin was doing now was belated and what he had
wished for.

Inexplicably, he picked up a pen. Despite the scar on his ring finger, he was
still able to write the string of English fluently, following the font from his
memory.

He took out a wet wipe and viciously wiped off the words written on the
base of his finger, until his finger was rubbed red and painful, not allowing
even a little mark of ink to remain.

Yan Yi clenched his teeth and clenched the wet wipes tightly. He was
twenty-seven years old, he must no longer love him.

He tossed and rolled in bed, burying his face under the pillow, but still
couldn’t fallen asleep at twelve o’clock. His mind was full of Lu Shangjin’s
painful look of persuading him to stay as he held his shoulder.

Thinking of Lu Shangjin holding his shoulder, he also remembered his right

hand which he couldn’t exert all his strength on occasionally.

Yan Yi suddenly sat up, lifted the thin quilt and got out of bed.
Lu Shangjin’s bedroom was on the first floor. The door was open, and the
light of the bedside lamp was not too harsh.

Yan Yi stood by the door and looked inside, seeing Lu Shangjin lying on his
side on the bed, half asleep and half awake. He took a bottle of mineral
water from the bedside table and twisted the cap several times, but still
wasn’t able to unscrew it.

So he clasped the bottle with his forearm and unscrewed it with his left
hand. Unexpectedly, he choked and coughed as he laid to the side of the
bed.

He was only wearing a tight sleeveless undershirt, and his right shoulder
bore three deep gorge-like scars, bones moving beneath thin blackened skin
could be seen under the deepest of which, and there were also swollen
bruises and lacerated wounds of the place Yan Yi had just kicked.

Yan Yi held the door frame and frowned. Suddenly, he remembered that he
had always wrapped his bathrobe tightly when he got in and out of the
shower, and also only wore long sleeves during the hottest season.

Lu Shangjin put the water back and turned over. Yan Yi was standing next
to the bed, causing him to sit up, trembling in shock. He quickly pulled on
his pyjamas and draped it over his body to cover the shoulder injury.

“Did I wake you up? I’m fine, go back to sleep…”

Yan Yi looked him in the eyes and asked softly, “Your shoulder: when did it
happen?”

Lu Shangjin paused briefly and made up a lie. “Two years ago. There are
only scars left. Nothing wrong.”

Yan Yi threw a bag of bone-wound medicine hidden in the study into his
arms: “What’s next in your lie?”

“Don’t make a scene, wife…” Lu Shangjin wanted to cover up the matter

quickly. “You give birth to the baby well, and after serving you, I will go to
the hospital. No delays.”

Yan Yi knew him well. If Lu Shangjin didn’t want to say things, no one
could pry anything out of his mouth. He pursed his lips ruthlessly and
turned around to leave.

His hand that jerked away was hastily grabbed by Lu Shangjin.

“You care about me, don’t you? Do you feel sorry for me?” Losing all sense
of shame, the alpha grabbed him, pulling him onto his lap, his palm
warming his cold little feet. “Come up here and lie down for a while. You
see how cold you are barefoot…I’ll sleep on the floor, you should lie here
for a while…leave me some warm presence…”

“Stop pretending.” Yan Yi pulled his foot out of Lu Shangjin’s hand and
looked at him coldly. “I’m telling you, you just think I’m something you
must leave at home. What are you pretending for now? After you get it,
you’ll still throw it aside. I don’t want to be rejected all the time, do you
understand?”

Lu Shangjin’s heart was stabbed with each sentence, like he was hugging an
aggrieved hedgehog, but he was still holding him tight despite the pain.

“I’m just a rabbit made experimentally with cloned cells. You can get
millions of them if you want. Why? Why do you have to bite me and not let
me go?”

Wrapped in a safe little space from the alpha’s broad warm chest, Yan Yi
suddenly could no longer hold back his tears as he yelled himself hoarse at
him: “What’s so special about me! I don’t even have A3 glands now, I don’t
have a single bit of value left! You let me go, I’ve had enough of your
favour…I dare not…dare not want any more…”

“You are my wife…” Lu Shangjin held the little rabbit’s head, pressing him
into the crook of his shoulder, gently patting him as he soothed. “I’m the
bad one, you’ve been wronged…”
He wanted to tell Yan Yi about how guilty he felt and apologize with all his
heart, but he deeply understood that the little rabbit had no sense of security
towards him at all, not even daring to accept his love and affection with
ease. How could he be comforted by a simple apology?

 Chap 75

Edited and Proofread by: jie

Tired from crying, he fell asleep drowsily wrapped up in Lu Shangjin’s

soothing pheromones.

Lu Shangjin supported his head and laid down beside him. Yan Yi was
bowed and curled into a ball, fingers still clutching Lu Shangjin’s lapel
powerlessly.

He drew a tissue and bent his index finger to gently dry the tears from the
rabbit’s eyelashes, his eyes would be swollen the next day.

It was rare for him to see Yan Yi cry so sadly. In his memory, he had cried
very, very few times. There had always been a kind of high-grade omega
pride in his bones, maintaining his composure and hiding all his emotions
deep in his heart to himself.

“Just cry it out.” Lu Shangjin gently stroked his hair and closed his eyes
regretfully.

No matter how many cloned cells there were, even if there were millions,
his Yan Yan was still the one and only.

After taking care of Yan Yi these days, Lu Shangjin had developed a

biological clock, waking up at seven o’clock in the morning to prepare
breakfast for Yan Yi.

Pregnant omegas needed nutrition the most. The ingredients for three meals
a day were formulated by professional nutritionists, which were a little
troublesome to make, but he didn’t feel assured about buying meals from
outside.
When Lu Shangjin got up, Yan Yi’s fingers were still hooked onto the
corner of his coat.

As the warm scent of narcissus wrapped around his body left, Yan Yi
shivered and grabbed the pillow tightly, holding the thin quilt in his arms.

Lu Shangjin hurriedly returned. Half kneeling on the bed, he leaned down

to kiss the corner of his forehead. Yan Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked
at him sleepy-eyed and dazed.

“I’m going to make breakfast, you can sleep longer.” Lu Shangjin patiently
released soothing pheromones. “Don’t panic if you don’t see me when you
wake up.”

Only then did Yan Yi fall asleep again in a daze, his tightly curled body
relaxing a little.

“Good boy.” Lu Shangjin tucked his little tail back into his pyjama pants for
him and tugged up the crooked waist of his pants.

It seems that he couldn’t let Yan Yi sleep alone at night again. He didn’t
expect that he would sleep so restlessly after being pregnant, tossing around
noisily without a little bit of soothing pheromones.

Yan Yi didn’t wake up until 8:30. He felt for his phone beside his pillow
and wanted to take a look at the time, but then he stared at the picture on his
lock screen, dumbfounded.

The picture on the lock screen was of his hand wearing a ring, with ten
fingers clasped together with Lu Shangjin. The light was dim, the picture
unclear.

He froze and flipped over to look at the back case in a stupor, and found
that it was Lu Shangjin’s phone.

After surveying his surroundings, he realized that he had slept in Lu

Shangjin’s bedroom.
Slightly flustered, Yan Yi protected his belly and sat on the edge of the bed
blankly. His eyes fell on a simple wooden photo frame standing on the
bedside table, which held a photo of the two of them together.

Recalling the scene he made last night, Yan Yi sat on the edge of the bed
with his head in his arms, feeling regretful. What was there to cry about?
He became extremely hypocritical as soon as night fell.

He found his suede slippers by the bed, placed neatly where he could slip
them on right as he stretched his feet out.

When he slipped into them, the insides were warm and had just been
heated, and even his body was getting warmer.

The smell of porridge wafted over from the dining room. Lu Shangjin had
just put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, “You’re up so early, I haven’t
called you yet. It’s hot now.”

The pot was filled with the delicious smell of vegetables and lean meat
porridge. He was about to serve it, but Yan Yi took the ladle into his right
hand and scooped up two bowls, taking one for himself while the other was
left there without a care.

Without moving a muscle, Lu Shangjin looked at that bowl of porridge for

ten seconds.

He suddenly got up and went upstairs to bring his phone down, taking a
picture of the porridge with the caption, “The porridge my wife scooped for
me.”

Xia Pingtian replied: Sister-in-law is very skilled.

Bi Ruijing replied to Xia Pingtian: Did you not open your eyes, he said it’s
scooped, not made.

Lu Shangjin pondered briefly, before deleting Bi Ruijing’s reply.

Suddenly sensing that Yan Yi was looking his way, he immediately looked
up and cast his gaze over. Yan Yi lowered his eyes and buried his head to
eat.

“Eat more, I’ll be back to make lunch in the afternoon.” Lu Shangjin took a
piece of carrot pie cut into four halves and put it on his plate, full of hope,
“See if it tastes good?”

Yan Yi stared at the pie and gripped his chopsticks slightly.

He didn’t have much of an appetite a few days ago, but now he was
gradually eating more.

“Is it good…” Lu Shangjin pinched the back of his neck. He really wanted
to hear an answer, even if it wasn’t delicious. He would improve on it next
time.

He suddenly asked another question:

“If it doesn’t taste good, I’ll find a nanny again to come and cook.”

“No need.” Yan Yi dodged Lu Shangjin’s burning gaze and quickly walked
into the kitchen with his empty bowl as if he was fleeing.

Lu Shangjin secretly leaped for joy as he followed him into the kitchen.
Before Yan Yi could touch the water, he took his hands and held the door
frame to enclose the omega in the small space in front of him.

“I’ll come back to wash, don’t touch the cold water until I come back, not
even warm water, will you listen?”

With nowhere to escape, Yan Yi’s face was lifted by the chin to look up at
Lu Shangjin.

“Good boy.” Lu Shangjin lowered his head and kissed his soft drooping ear,
“I’m starting to miss you before I even leave.”

He stopped at the right moment before Yan Yi could feel disgusted and sick
of it, then went to the cloakroom to change into a suit. Wanting a mile after
receiving an inch, he imagined that Yan Yi could put on a tie for him.
In the past, Yan Yi tied Lu Shangjin’s tie for him every day, picking a
design and colour most suitable for the day’s journey, tilting his head
slightly and carefully smoothing out every crease.

If there was still such a chance in this life, he wanted to hold Yan Yi’s waist
and hug him properly, kiss his ear and say a thank you baobei, I love you.

His mood became inexplicably low again, full of melancholy as he went out
the door.

Hearing the soft click of the door closing, Yan Yi was startled out of his
mind wandering.

After thinking long and hard, he called Dr. Zhong.

Dr. Zhong asked about Yan Yi’s current physical condition in a friendly
manner and whether there was any abnormal discomfort in his glands.

When Yan Yi asked about the specific details of the surgery he had done on
his glands, Dr. Zhong paused and suddenly said he had a meeting right
away and would talk about it again when he was free, before hastily
hanging up the phone.

Doctors were normally really busy during the week, with many meetings
and surgeries, so it was understandable.

However, Yan Yi couldn’t help but continue to think about it. His mind was
a chaotic mess and the image of three blackened scars on Lu Shangjin’s
shoulder shook around in his mind from time to time.

The more he thought about staying at home, the more moody he became, so
he took his cloak and keys and left.

The warmth came after the spring rain. In the blink of an eye, all the
willows in the park had sprouted, swaying slightly in the warm breeze.

Sitting on the bench, Tan Meng held a red balloon in his hand. He leaned
over and stretched out his hand, teasing the little meatball that was
wobbling towards him.
The little baby still couldn’t walk well, earnestly and anxiously opening his
little hand, taking two steps before wobbling and falling down. Tan Meng
laughed as he took him into his arms, supporting his little arms to carry him
onto his lap.

Once he looked up and saw Yan Yi, he waved at him.

“Did Lu Shangjin not accompany you out?” Tan Meng stuffed the balloons
into Yan Yi’s hand and switched hands to hold the child.

“No need to accompany me.” Yan Yi leaned down and handed the balloons
to the white, soft and tender little bun. The child lifted his head to look at
him with big eyes. Yan Yi deliberately teased him, splitting the balloon
string into two. With a tug, it suddenly became two balloons, and with
another split, into four balloons.

The child stared at Yan Yi, dumbfounded. Suddenly, he opened his mouth,
which had only four teeth, and giggled. He pulled on Yan Yi’s rabbit ear
before turning back and holding Tan Meng’s neck shyly, calling out “papa”
in a soft, sweet baby’s voice.

Like a drop of water dripping from the eaves in the drizzling rain, a gentle
ripple opened right before Yan Yi’s eyes.

Bi Ruijing came back with a fluffy cotton candy, but was scolded for his
wrongdoing by Tan Meng from ten steps away, saying how old are you to
still have an addiction to sugar, you’d have toothaches in due time,
troublesome1 bastard, it’ll be really worrying if our child takes after you in
the future.

After saying hello, Bi Ruijing took the baby from Tan Meng’s arms and
held him up onto his forearm. A tall and burly alpha holding cotton candy
and a baby looked a little funny, making others have sore eyes.

The little baby liked his alpha dad’s soothing pheromones, he hugged Bi
Ruijing as he called out “papa” sweetly, clinging to him like a sticky
steamed bun.
Yan Yi couldn’t help but touch his belly, and fished out his phone to look at
his unread messages.

Lu Shangjin had sent him a message ten minutes ago.

“The strawberries I washed this morning shouldn’t be cold anymore, you

can eat eight of them, not more. Love you, and love baby too.”

Yan Yi pursed his lips and slowly lowered down his phone, pointing the
screen at his bulging belly, secretly letting the baby look.

Tan Meng noticed his odd behaviour and asked him what he was doing.

Yan Yi’s expression stiffened and he hastily deleted the message Lu

Shangjin sent.

A few minutes later, he recovered the deleted message with a sense of loss
and frustration.

He stayed out all day, not doing anything much, just procrastinating and not
wanting to go home. Tan Meng kept asking him to go to his studio to talk
more with the high grade omegas. He wasn’t in much of a mood before, but
today he stopped by to check it out.

It was already evening when he got home. The lights were on and the sheer
curtains on the French windows of the balcony were not drawn.

Through the glass, he could see the alpha busying about on the balcony.

Holding three nails in his mouth, Lu Shangjin was half kneeling on the
ground and nailing a child’s height ruler on the door frame of the balcony.

He was using his right hand to hold the hammer at first, but after nailing a
few times, his arm felt sore, so he switched to his left hand.

Yan Yi stood under the streetlamp and watched him from afar, looking
intently as the alpha nailed the height ruler into the door frame, nail after
nail. Suddenly, a beam of light fell over his head and the street lamps lit up
one after another, lighting the way home.
When it was time to go to bed, Lu Shangjin stayed in his bedroom, brazenly
and shamelessly refusing to leave, saying that he had to coax Yan Yi to
sleep first regardless of whatever he said.

Yan Yi was too lazy to argue, so he had to let him stay.

Lu Shangjin stayed by his side, encircling Yan Yi in his arms as if

protecting a young baby animal, and using soothing pheromones to give
him a little more sense of security.

However, ​just as he put his hands around Yan Yi’s waist and tried to quietly
touch the baby, Yan Yi’s body suddenly shook with fear, arching his body in
extreme resistance as he desperately shook Lu Shangjin’s hands away from
his stomach. He sat up abruptly, losing his mind in panic.

His nose twitched violently in small increments, his tail faltered and shrank
back into his pyjama pants. Yan Yi sat on the bed and curled into a ball, his
shoulders trembling, as he carefully protected his stomach.

Lu Shangjin froze for a long, long time. Suddenly, his heart hurt as though a
spoonful of hot oil had been poured over it. He drew back the hand that had
touched Yan Yi’s belly in embarrassment, digging his nails into his palm
until it bled.

He then pulled Yan Yi into his lap, holding his head so that Yan Yi could
lean on the crook of his shoulder, and gently caressed him. Pressing a kiss
into Yan Yi’s hair, he carefully murmured words of comfort.

 Chap 76

Lu Shangjin embraced the slightly trembling little rabbit tightly, sitting

cross-legged on the bed, and his hand, stained with soothing pheromones,
held his cheek and rubbed behind his ear.

“I scared you, didn’t I?” Lu Shangjin lowered his head and loosened Yan
Yi’s tightly clenched fist, moving it to his heart, “I won’t hurt Yan Yan in
the future. Don’t be afraid of me.”

Yan Yi was just a little rabbit who had learned to disguise himself to be as
cold and unfeeling as a human. He was easily startled and was also timid;
he didn’t dare to do anything, but was willing to do anything for Lu
Shangjin.

Yan Yi’s hands were placed on his belly, and his tense breathing finally
calmed down a little. Gasping lightly as he leaned against the crook of Lu
Shangjn’s shoulder, his cold sweat wetted the tips of his hair.

“I want to be an alpha,” the pale lips opened and closed. Yan Yi tilted the
corners of his lips with difficulty and said softly, “So I wouldn’t be so
weak.”

“You’re not weak.” Lu Shangjin caressed him patiently, “You’ve marked

me, haven’t you? You also drew me Tuzki. If you’re happy, you can draw
another one tomorrow.”

Yan Yi bit his lips, his ears suddenly filled with heat, flushing red as they
hid into his hair.

“Do you want to bite me again?” Lu Shangjin bent down to kiss his lips and
said with a chuckle, “Let you be an alpha when you’re with me.”
He guided Yan Yi to divert his attention and also deliberately avoided
touching his belly again when he was not paying attention to not startle
him.

The alpha’s voice was low and pleasant, like the smoke of a cigar whirling
around his vocal cords, carrying a sticky muted tone.

Yan Yi failed to avoid the kiss and nervously clenched his teeth, but
realized that Lu Shangjin only gave him a peck on the lips.

When Yan Yi’s emotions were completely relaxed, Lu Shangjin took him
into his arms to sleep, patting his back like he was coaxing a child, while
keeping the concentration of soothing pheromones unchanged all night.

There was a meeting early in the morning, so Lu Shangjin didn’t have time
to eat with Yan Yi after preparing breakfast so he left a note on the table.

When Yan Yi woke up and went downstairs, he picked up the sticky note on
the table which had three lines written on it: respectively instructing him to
warm the breakfast up, saying he couldn’t come back in the afternoon as he
had matters to attend to, the assistant will deliver lunch, he can only eat the
fruits cut-up in the kitchen, and don’t be greedy and eat the cold ones from
the fridge.

Lu Shangjin’s writing style hadn’t changed. The technique was swift and
very fast, but each stroke was never perfunctory.

He went to the kitchen to have a look. The cut-up fruit was in the
tupperware and the breakfast was still warm in the pot.

He didn’t know if he had a better appetite after four months of pregnancy

but he felt that Lu Shangjin’s cooking was actually quite acceptable.

After eating, he made two laps around the house, moved the two pots of
daffodils in Lu Shangjin’s study to the balcony, cut the dead leaves, and
poured some plant nutrient water in.
At four in the afternoon, Lu Shangjin’s car was parked outside a high-class
spa. The attendant bowed and pulled open the car door to lead him to a
KTV room on the first floor.

The noise of the demons dancing and howling made a racket down the
corridor; the young masters who frequented were getting high on drugs in
their own rooms.

When he pushed the door of the deepest room, someone was already
waiting in the booth.

Xia Pingtian’s feet were on the tea table with a white and delicate omega in
his arms who he was feeding wine mouth-to-mouth. Bi Ruijing flipped a
lighter in his hand, occasionally making a light sound of the shell snapping
close. He lifted his gaze and said imposingly, “So late.”

“I had a meeting. Was busy until late.” Lu Shangjin unbuttoned his suit one
by one and threw his coat away, leaning back. His eyes fell on the beta
kneeling on the ground with a black head covering.

Xia Pingtian gently inserted a room card into the omega’s slim waistband of
his pants, coaxing him to go out with a whisper and close the door on his
way. He pinched the omega’s round buttocks before he left.

Lu Shangjin turned on the stereo to the maximum, drew out a cigar from the
cedar wood box on the tea table and cut it open, and unhurriedly plugged
the miniature headset to brief them, “Shao gongzi sent me a gift. Lu Lin’s
trusted follower.”

The deafening drums of the music drowned out the heart-wrenching

screams in the room.

Lu Shangjin leaned forward slightly with his two arms on his knees, staring
indifferently at the beta handcuffed to the chair wailing mournfully. In his
hand, he held a cigar cutter with the edge of the blade stained with clotted
blood.
Xia Pingtian crossed his legs and leaned back, putting his hands around the
backrest while holding a glass of wine and smiling, “Come on, Mr Jiang, if
you’d spat it out clean earlier, we wouldn’t have to resort to violence,
right?”

The middle-aged beta was covered in blood, leaning back against the back
of the chair with his neck tilted up, only able to exhale but couldn’t inhale.

Lu Shangjin narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the neck of the beta
bursting with veins. He threw down his cigar cutter and walked over to him.
Glaring at him as he put his hands on the handle of the chair, the bottom of
his deep eyes fluctuating like a swamp and lava that swallowed people.

“Uncle Jiang, don’t hold it in. Lu Lin is my father, you tell me what he’s
tossing about now. Tell me everything. It’s not considered betrayal.” Lu
Shangjin exhaled smoke slowly, the cigar between his fingers nudged
lightly against the flesh of the beta’s neck, and the hissing burnt smell filled
his nose.

The beta struggled frantically and cried for mercy. Lu Shangjin’s cold and
indifferent face did not move a single bit as he dug his fingers along the
skin of the beta’s neck and gouged into the flesh, ruthlessly pulling out a
bloody chip from inside.

Immediately after, a bunch of pitch-black vines spread and grew from Bi

Ruijing’s fingers and snaked over the beta’s corpse. The corpse turned into
a puddle of steaming blood in an instant, flesh and bone disappearing
without a trace.

The accompanying ability of the poison arrow-wood race, “Bone

Transformation”.

Bi Ruijing clapped his hands, “Wrap it up.”

When the server came in to clean up and saw a large pool of blood on the
ground, they were so scared that their face turned pale. Lu Shangjin put the
blood-stained gloves onto the server’s tray, “The fight was a little violent,
go clean it up.”
The three alpha went upstairs for a soak in the spa. Lu Shangjin’s wounds
couldn’t be soaked in water so he went to take a shower to wash off the
blood stains on his body.

Xia Pingtian soaked in the hot pool and sighed languidly, “I think Lu ge has
a tendency for violence. I have chills all over when I’m in a room with
him.”

“Indeed a little bit.” Bi Ruijing smiled.

Originally, they were sent into the army together. On the first day of
training, Lu Shangjin had dislocated the instructor’s jaw. It just so happened
that the leader came down to patrol that day, and Lu Shangjin also
conveniently took care of the leader.

A rebellious teenager who was usually not very talkative was then firmly
pinned to the ground by a group of alpha instructors, kicked in several
places, and had his bones cracked. They pointed at his nose as they mocked
and taunted the PBB higher-ups, spewing abuse, and he was sent home the
same day.

“I know what kind of person he is.” Bi Ruijing dusted the ashes outside the
pool, “He held a little bride in his heart when he was young and refused to
join the army whether he lived or died. He stayed outside to take the
opportunity to grow and think of ways to get Yan Yi out.”

“Later, the two of them…hai, things in life change, let them do their own
thing.”

Xia Pingtian pondered and didn’t understand what the hell was so good
about the little rabbit, who had also charmed his Xiao Jing-zi to the point
where he was so infatuated and head over heels in love. In a spur of the
moment, he called Dr Zhong for a chat, asking him to say a few nice words
for a change of mood.

Lu Shangjin showered three times. After carefully smelling that there was
no bloody smell on his body, he grabbed a new set of clothes and came out.
An omega wearing a bathrobe happened to come out from the opposite
changing room. He looked up and saw Lu Shangjin. Staring at the dripping
pectoral muscles exposed from the collar of the bathrobe, his eyes
brightened slightly.

Lu Shangjin’s attention was focused on what to eat for dinner and

subconsciously met the omega’s eyes.

“Hey, xian-sheng.” From behind, the omega gently slid down the contours
of Lu Shangjin’s back with his fingertips. The air was filled with simple but
elegant and light narcissus pheromones; rich in aggression and oppression.
An ordinary omega could not resist such an attraction.

“I feel like our compatibility fit is very high…” The omega came around to
the front, ambiguously hooking his finger on Lu Shangjin’s belt and digging
inside. He lifted his eyelashes to look at him, “Come to my room to play?”

A wisp of slightly sweet courtship pheromone clung stickily around Lu

Shangjin’s glands.

Lu Shangjin didn’t stop in his steps as he took the omega’s hand off his belt,
“Go to the baths and serve President Xia, you’ll make money faster from
him than from me.”

“I don’t want money, I want you.” The omega frowned, increasing the
concentration of courtship pheromones, “You’re already here, what are you
pretending to be prudish for.”

Lu Shangjin suddenly grabbed his wrist and pushed the omega to the wall
with one hand, his grip making the omega scream out in pain.

His voice was impatient, close to the edge of irritability, “Put your slutty
smell away. Now I have to go back up to take a shower again.”

So, the time he went home was more than half an hour later than expected.

Yan Yi made a cup of tea at six o’clock and put it on the work table in the
study.
He waited until the clock pointed to half past six and the entire sky turned
dark. Holding his phone, Yan Yi silently scrolled through his message logs.

He hadn’t received any new messages since this afternoon.

Going back to the study, he poured out the cold tea, washed the cups and
put them back in the cupboard, pretending that nothing had happened.

At 6:35, Lu Shangjin opened the door and placed a small bouquet of roses
and a box of Timothy hay on the shoe closet and then looked all over the
house for Yan Yi.

He found him in the bedroom on the second floor hugging a pillow as he sat
on the bed reading a book.

“Baobei, I’m home.” Lu Shangjin propped his hands on the edge of the bed
and leaned over to look at him, apologizing, “Something temporarily came
up today and my phone was out of battery. You must be starving, are you?”

Yan Yi looked up at him. The tips of his hair were still wet and his body
was covered with the obvious fragrance of body gel.

Lu Shangjin had a little guilty conscience, not knowing whether the chaotic
smell on his body had washed off. He had squeezed out a lot of body gel
when he took a shower.

Seeing Yan Yi’s expression visibility changing from clear to cloudy, Lu

Shangjin scratched his hair, “Don’t be angry, I had a meeting today. It’s the
weekend tomorrow. I’ll accompany you well.”

Yan Yi’s expression turned completely overcast as he showed Lu Shangjin

the chat interface on his phone.

Tan Meng said Bi Ruijing, the three of them, had gone to the bathhouse.

Yan Yi asked, “You had a meeting at the bathhouse? What international

conference chose that place?”

Lu Shangjin froze for a moment and suddenly laughed.

“Are you afraid I went out to fool around?”

Yan Yi moved his head to the side as if he was poked in the heart. He didn’t
expect Lu Shangjin to climb up and pull him between his lap, holding his
face and asking, “Is my wife finally willing to care about me?”

Yan Yi pushed his chest but was hugged tighter. Lu Shangjin told him the
itinerary of the day exactly how it was, a little downcast as he explained:

“I washed myself really clean. Don’t suspect me.”

It made Yan Yi at a loss for words.

Before going to bed, Lu Shangjin had to first medicate his wound. It was
unbearably painful when he dipped the liquid medicine onto the wound, but
he was so used to getting hurt that he wouldn’t go as far as to make
exaggerated expressions, remaining as flat as usual.

It wasn’t as easy to apply the medicine to his shoulder blade. He couldn’t

reach it with his left hand so he could only take the bottle of medicine and
splash it a few times over his back.

Looking into the mirror, he suddenly saw Yan Yi standing outside the
bedroom door.

The little rabbit didn’t come in but was just holding the door frame and
watching quietly. It seemed as if his feet moved forward but retracted
hesitantly, holding the hay snacks he brought back in his hand.

Lu Shangjin turned around and begged him softly, “Wifey, I can’t reach the
back.”

Only then did Yan Yi come in, picking up the medicine bottle and cotton
swab to apply it to the wound on his shoulder blade, not talking much.

Lu Shangjin closed his eyes, secretly touched. All of a sudden, acting

impulsively, he cried out in pain, “Wifey, I want soothing pheromones
too…”
Getting too carried away, he wanted a mile after getting an inch.

Yan Yi frowned. He put the medicine bottle on the table, turned around and
left.

“Ai, don’t go. I don’t want it anymore, I don’t want it.”

 Chap 77

Edited and Proofread by: jie

More than twenty high-grade omegas sat around the long table, each taking
notes intently as Dr. Zhong stood in front of a stereo projection, discussing
the glandular genes of high-grade omegas.

Yan Yi rested his cheek on his hand and listened, occasionally turning his
pen and jotting down key points in his notebook.

This was the villa that Tan Meng bought himself, which was usually used as
a writing studio where high-grade omegas got to meet each other through
reading. Over time, it became a club.

The cohesiveness of a top writer was really scary. Sometimes, you could
see omegas from different countries and races talking and laughing in high
spirits here.

When Dr. Zhong brought up the psychology of higher level dependency

markers, he asked who in the audience had such an experience.

More than a dozen omegas, including Yan Yi, raised their hands. In addition
to Yan Yi, most of the other omegas were of J1 differentiation, and a few
were of M2 differentiation.

Even Tan Meng raised his hand.

Yan Yi looked to the back of his neck, where there was a poison arrow-
wood leaf-shaped emblem under the light red skin of his glands.

He had originally thought that Tan Meng was more free and easygoing than
he was, but it turned out he was also tormented by the same morbid
infatuation.

Dr. Zhong regrettably asked everyone to put their hands down and asked the
representatives of different grades of omegas to elaborate on the
characteristics of higher level dependencies.

When it was Yan Yi’s turn, he sat up:

“I took the alpha that marked me as everything. Everything in my world

lost its meaning. I lived only for him, my dignity and character as a human
being gradually disappeared, and I willingly became a plaything that was at
his beck and call.”

Despite his words being as clear as ever, they still carried a trace of helpless
grief.

He was telling the truth, but his mind kept going back to the scene before he
left the house this morning.

Before going to work, Lu Shangjin had said to him, “Baobei, I’m leaving.”

It was unbearable when he heard it. His heart seized, and there was
something stuck in his throat that couldn’t go down nor come up.

So he asked Lu Shangjin to not call him that.

Lu Shangjin thought for a while, before quickly writing three notes. On the
first note, he wrote “baobei”, on the second, he wrote “lao-po”, and on the
third, “wife”. He then held up “baobei” and asked if it was okay.

Yan Yi shook his head.

Lu Shangjin then held up “lao-po” to show him, and Yan Yi still shook his
head.

He suddenly put away the notes and came over, hugging Yan Yi as he
kissed his ear and said, “Then remove the two wrong answers, wife, I’m
going to work. Don’t touch the water, wait for me to come back to wash the
bowls.”
Yan Yi was speechless for a moment.

With such an alpha, it was really difficult to push all dependency to higher
instincts.

Dr. Zhong then proposed the “freedom to mark” theory. As marking was
only a way for alphas to biologically declare possession of their properties
and had nothing to do with reproduction, an omega should have the right to
choose whether or when they receive the mark.

However, the number of high-grade omegas was low, their presence

scattered, and difficult to assemble as a family. As they were always in a
position of being prey, the “freedom to mark” theory was just a dream at
this stage.

After the speech, Yan Yi approached Dr. Zhong for a while to ask about the
original details of his glandular repair surgery.

But Dr. Zhong avoided the important questions and dwelled on trivial ones.
He was also a good talker, leading the conversation away with a few
sentences and talking to Yan Yi about the “freedom to mark” theory.

“I certainly won’t let anyone mark me easily.” Dr. Zhong smiled cheekily
and poured a cup of fresh juice for Yan Yi, “Not only is there a high-grade
dependency, there are also glandular hunters who are always searching for
high-grade omegas for the big families. Remember to take care of yourself
and the baby.”

The omegas chatted pleasantly with each other. Getting along with the same
kind made Yan Yi very relaxed. There were omegas in every corner of the
world who were in a similar situation as he was, some forced to give birth,
some agonizing over unrequited love, while some were used as biological
weapons to die in battles.

Another drenching spring rain came freely and naturally, the thundering
downpour trapping Yan Yi on his way home.
He stood under the eave of a coffee shop to escape the rain, thinking that if
he couldn’t get a taxi, he would go inside and sit for a while until the rain
stopped.

After a muffled clap of thunder, the white flashes of lightning that filled the
sky shook before his eyes.

Yan Yi grabbed his rabbit ears and rolled them into two small rolls,
blocking all the gaps that allowed sound to squeeze in. A rabbit’s hearing
was too sensitive; his heart pounded every time there was a clap of thunder.
He was afraid it might scare the baby in his stomach.

Suddenly, the hood of a coat that still carried the residual warmth of body
temperature covered him. Lu Shangjin leaned down slightly, wrapping the
little rabbit in his arms, and shielding his ears in the darkness.

Many years ago, there had also been a pair of young and tender hands
covering his ears in a thunderstorm.

After the initial differentiation of Yan Yi’s glands, he was kept in the
laboratory to observe the energy consumption when he could not eat, while
electronic voice-print locks were cuffed to his neck. The little rabbit was
afraid of the dark and silence, hiding in a ball under the lab table.

The door lock gently jabbed open. Lu Shangjin crawled in all the way under
the lab tables, avoiding the cameras. He took out his lunch box from his
schoolbag and fed Yan Yi spoonful by spoonful, whispering that the
security guards would change shifts in ten minutes, and to hurry up and eat.

With tears in his eyes, Yan Yi ate obediently, his little hands clutching
tightly onto the corner of Lu Shangjin’s clothes.

It was raining heavily outside the lab. A white light flashed. Lu Shangjin
put down the lunch box and used his school uniform jacket by the side to
cover both of their heads, shielding the little rabbit’s ears.

Yan Yi opened his eyes and stared blankly at the face of the little alpha very
close to him.
Ten minutes was too short. Lu Shangjin carried his bag to get ready to
leave, but Yan Yi grasped his pant leg gently, crawling with him a few
steps, his voice trembling as he pleaded, “One more minute…I’m scared to
be alone.”

Lu Shangjin backtracked and held the little rabbit’s shoulders as he said

seriously, “I’ll come back again tomorrow. I’ll take you away sooner or
later.”

Every day, Yan Yi sat obediently in the corner and stared at the door,
knowing that every night, a light would shine in from there.

The wind chimes of the coffee shop tinkled. Yan Yi was stunned, covered
with a coat carrying the scent of narcissus.

Lu Shangjin held him with one hand while the other held the umbrella. It
was tilted towards his side, drenching half his shoulder under his snow-
white shirt.

“It’s wet…” Yan Yi unintentionally reached out to straighten the umbrella,

but Lu Shangjin hooked the handle back to his side, ill-intentionally kissing
his forehead.

Only then did Yan Yi remember that they were not the same as before and
stiffly withdrew his hand to stick it back into his pocket.

Lu Shangjin felt for Yan Yi’s hand and stuffed it into his pocket, clutching
his hand to warm it up.

When they got into the car, Lu Shangjin looked at him, “Did you have a
fight with a friend? You look distracted.”

Yan Yi unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and took a sip. He pillowed his
hands and leaned against the window, forehead pressing against the glass
while he listened to the ba-da ba-da sound of the rain:

“I thought about something many years ago, but the feasibility is very low.”

Lu Shangjin raised his brow, “What is it?”

“The establishment of a joint organization of high-grade omegas.” Yan Yi
said it out, scratching his hair gently and laughed lightly to himself, “I tried
to do it with a few of the PBB members, but failed. It’s such an absurd
thing, maybe we are just put on the list of vulnerable prey by the laws of
nature.”

“A high-grade omega joint organization.” Lu Shangjin tapped his fingertips

on the steering wheel and pondered for a moment.

Yan Yi knew that mentioning this kind of thing to Lu Shangjin would be in

vain. Alphas were the dominant ones on earth, the pillar gender of various
industries. The arrogance in their bones predestined them to be unable to
empathize, and even less put themselves in the shoes of others.

“It should be an anti-hunting organization.” Lu Shangjin looked straight

ahead. The rabbit ball charm on the rearview mirror shook slightly.

“I can provide weapons, ammunition, and funding.”

Taking advantage of the red light, Lu Shangjin leaned over to look at him,
“If I’m allowed to join, I’ll draft four proposals for you tonight.”

The water bottle slipped from Yan Yi’s hand.

The car stopped outside the Lu family cemetery. The rain had stopped, but
dark clouds still covered half the sky.

Lu Shangjin held a bouquet of lilies and led Yan Yi to stand in front of a

tombstone.

“I actually shouldn’t have brought you here.” Lu Shangjin squatted down,

brushing away the fallen leaves and dusting off the tombstone, before
putting a bundle of lilies in water on it.

“Today is the anniversary of my dad’s death. I thought for a long time

whether I should come to see him.” Lu Shangjin held Yan Yi’s shoulders,
speaking softly as if he was telling a story about someone else’s family.
At the age when he could first remember, he accidentally peeked into the
adult bedroom and saw Lu Lin holding Ye Wan against the windowsill for a
kiss. At that time, the alpha’s eyes were clear and full of deep affection.

“Lu Lin was once an A3 alpha, the rarest peregrine falcon A3.” Lu Shangjin
clenched his fists, his eyes pitch black and serene, “But because of my dad’s
mistake during a mission, Lu Lin’s glands were destroyed by a sniper, and
his newly transplanted ones could only differentiate to J1.”

“Lu Lin hated my dad, and my dad felt that he owed him because of the
high level of dependency, so even if he was being tortured to death, he
simply couldn’t leave him.”

“I told you about what happened later. The child my dad left behind died of
organ failure. I took that child as a continuation of my dad, but my dad
wouldn’t leave me anything.” He didn’t love me.

Lu Shangjin donated his little brother’s body to An Fei Ya Hospital. Maybe

there were still healthy organs that could be transplanted in hopes that other
children could see the world for him.

“Yan Yan, I haven’t seriously apologized to you.” Lu Shangjin lowered his

head and looked into Yan Yi’s eyes, “I don’t want to become Lu Lin, but the
more afraid I get, the more I become like him. I’m as irritable and
suspicious of others as he is, and as condescending as he is.

“At first, erasing the mark was done out of a concern that you wouldn’t be
able to escape if you were targeted by Lu Lin. Even so, I overestimated my
own devotion and never asked you what you wanted.

“It wasn’t until my dad died that I learned that omegas need protection no
matter how strong they are.”

“I’ve done a lot of things to hurt you before, so much that I’ve lost face to
ask for forgiveness, but I still want to beg you to give me a chance to
protect you and the baby properly.”
Yan Yi rarely heard Lu Shangjin say so many words at once. He stared at
him blankly and backed away two steps.

Lu Shangjin was standing two steps away from him with his hand spread
out, an old platinum ring lying in his palm.

“If one day in the future you are willing to accept my apology, will you
allow me to mark you?”

Yan Yi’s fingers trembled slightly, he grabbed the ring back and clutched it
tightly, but did not put it on.

He hurriedly ran to Ye Wan’s tombstone and bowed, then turned and fled
back to the car in a panic.

That night, Yan Yi didn’t allow Lu Shangjin into his bedroom. He gripped
the ring tightly, thinking in bed the whole night.

Early the next morning, the four drafted proposals were placed neatly on the
table.
 Chap 78

Edited and Proofread by: cream

Each of the four project plans was respectively fixed with paper clips at the
corners. With each page flipped, it emitted the faint smell of paper and ink.

Yan Yi knew that Lu Shangjin was extremely efficient when he was

working and he was always highly focused.

Touching each line of strict logic and ideas in neat forms with his fingertips,
he could imagine the alpha sitting in the study all night, treating Yan Yi’s
absurd concepts like his own contract.

He quietly put them into the drawer, pressed on top of the ring, and went
down the stairs in his plush slippers.

Lu Shangjin was sitting at the dining table scrolling through the news on his
phone. There were two bowls of noodles placed on the table, steaming hot.

“Handmade noodles…?” Yan Yi picked up the chopsticks and stirred it up

twice, evening out the thickness. The soup stewed with big pork rib bones
turned white, half the surface was covered with greens, while the other
piled with small beef balls.

The alpha’s cooking skills were becoming more and more skilled and there
was also less for Yan Yi to nitpick at in terms of taste.

Lu Shangjin said that he had separated the company from Lu Lin and that
the family members formerly loyal to Lu Lin had turned against him. In the
future, there would not be a single capital flow that would be monitored by
Lu Lin.
“Before…I didn’t give you money, nor a house and a car…” He fished out
two cards and a set of car keys and pushed them to Yan Yi, “It’s because Lu
Lin can check the direction of flow. I just didn’t want you to get involved
with him, but at that time I wasn’t thoughtful either.

“I know being like this is like having a sugar baby, but you know I don’t
mean it like that. After all, you don’t want to marry me now…I just want to
give it to you, give it all to you, I’ll give you your salary card too.”

After saying that, Lu Shangjin even gave an awkward laugh. He was

usually very good at speaking during meetings, but was extremely stupid
when it came to heartfelt words of affection.

Yan Yi took the two cards and saw that the passwords were his birthday.
This was just like the work of a romance expert, it would indeed make
others happy.

But having this password was enough.

Yan Yi pushed something back in front of Lu Shangjin, “I’ll also return the
card from before to you.”

Lu Shangjin pursed his lips and looked at him, “You misunderstand.”

“The project plans…are very good, I’ve taken them.” Yan Yi evaded his
eyes for a moment and raised his eyelids to meet Lu Shangjin’s gaze, “For
money and arms, I can get them.”

Lu Shangjin raised the ends of his eyebrows and re-examined Yan Yi with
probing eyes.

He picked up the greens with his chopsticks and placed them all into Yan
Yi’s bowl, “Don’t let yourself get too tired, you can come look for me any
time if you face any difficulties. I am your alpha.”

Yan Yi whispered, “You too…”

“Hm?”
“Nothing.”

Lu Shangjin took him to sit on the sofa, holding his waist with both hands
as he asked him tentatively, “Can I touch the baby?”

Yan Yi stiffened a little, but he didn’t stop him. However when Lu Shangjin
placed his hand on his belly, he still tensed up nervously.

Paying close attention to Yan Yi’s reaction, Lu Shangjin withdrew his hand
in embarrassment and held Yan Yi’s hand instead, kissing his neck
apologetically, “I will work hard to make up for it.”

“I’m going to the bathroom.” Yan Yi gently pushed him away and ran to the
bathroom to hide.

“…” Feeling a little lost, Lu Shangjin picked up the phone he had left on
the sofa and found the screen unlocked, showing pictures of Yan Yi’s trip to
Yunnan.

Lu Shangjin looked up at the bathroom with the door left unlocked, smiled
gently, and sent all the photos of Yan Yi into his phone, and then carefully
zoomed in to look at them in detail.

His own wife still looked the best.

During this season, there was still some cool air in the house but it was
thoroughly warm outside. Under the shade of the mulberry trees lining the
road, the raw fruits were trampled by traffic and pedestrians.

Assistant Xiao Ning brought Lu Shangjin a cup of coffee and put a

document on the desk.

“This is the account you asked me to check.” Xiao Ning wiped the cold
sweat on his forehead, “Madam and the rest, they…got a billion yuan
within a month.”
Lu Shangjin’s hand flipping through the contract froze. He took the folder
and raised his eyes to glance at Xiao Ning, “Did Yan Yi go to rob the
bank?”

As he flipped through the document page by page, Lu Shangjin’s tight

frown slowly loosened. He held the document and leaned against the back
of the chair, chuckling as he asked him:

“Isn’t my wife pretty attractive?”

The boss’s smiling face, which had been a rare sight for decades, scared
assistant Xiao Ning back several steps. He pulled a fake commercial smile
and stretched out a thumbs up; zan1.

Yan Yi leaned against the bar counter and connected a dozen or so phones,
keeping notes of the number and type of equipment he lacked without any
sign of being in a fluster.

Tan Meng jumped on the high stool with his computer and showed Yan Yi
his Twitter message; it was from a joint application from the high-grade
omega clubs in Australia and France.

Yan Yi rested his hands on the bar behind him and waved his little rabbit
ears, “Take your time. Don’t make too much noise, there will be alpha
families out to cause trouble for us.”

Tan Meng said confidently, “Let Bi Ruijing handle the matters of blocking
alphas. Who told him to get in trouble with me?”

The door was lightly tapped three times and both eyes were drawn to it.

Standing outside the door, Xia Jingtian was hanging an arm over Gu Wei’s
neck and holding an address, asking if the great Tan Meng was around
because they were here to talk about a strategic cooperation.

He then turned to ask Gu Wei, “Is this how you say it, dog?”
Gu Wei narrowed his eyes, pushed Xia Jingtian’s face to the door, and
approached the bar with his guitar carried on his back, “I have something to
say about the high-grade omega anti-hunting organization.”

Tan Meng gestured to Yan Yi to listen to him as he grabbed a can of

oranges and twisted it hard. When his hands turned red, he bit his lips and
pushed the can to Yan Yi, “It’s too tight, use your keys to pry it open.”

Yan Yi tried to pry it open for a long time but couldn’t do it. Xia Jingtian
wanted to take it to help him twist it open, but Cang Xiao’er just happened
to come down from the gym upstairs carrying a bag.

“Let me, let me.” The little hamster’s eyes shone as soon as he saw the can
and took it from Xia Jingtian’s hand. He held the head of the can as his little
tail swung back and forth with full strength and he opened four cans in a
row, before taking a small spoon and drinking half a can with his head
facing up.

“How refreshing, today’s fitness training is all for nothing now.” Cang
Xiao’er wiped his lips and leaned against the wall, only after did he realize
that there were two more alphas in the room. His smile gradually
disappeared and his little tail clamped down.

Xia Jingtian stared at him with wide eyes.

Gu Wei stroked his chin as he observed, “Shit, what did I just say.”

These days, Yan Yi got home later and later. Today, due to missing the time
from discussing things, it was already 7:30 at night when he remembered to
look at his watch. He hastily sent a text to Lu Shangjin saying that he
wouldn’t go back for dinner today.

Lu Shangjin sat at the dining table and frowned at the message.

He had left work early today to specially prepare some dishes for Yan Yi
that he had newly learned. He even redid it halfway between because he
wasn’t satisfied with the taste.

He picked up the chopsticks to try every dish. The vegetable soup was too
salty; fortunately Yan Yi wasn’t coming back to eat.

The room was very quiet. Even though the lights in every room were on, it
still felt like it was a little dark somewhere.

Eating alone was a little unpleasant.

He couldn’t resist giving Yan Yi a call. There was some noise on the other
end of the phone, sounding like he was at a hotel, and there were quite a
few people.

Yan Yi asked, “Is there something wrong?”

Lu Shangjin leaned back in his chair and asked, “Wife, where are you? I’ll
go pick you up.”

He replied that everyone was having dinner and if it was too late he would
stay at Tan Meng’s place.

Lu Shangjin rubbed the bridge of his nose, “You’ve been outside all day
and night for the whole month, you don’t even come home anymore, can
you let me worry less?”

Yan Yi also got a little angry, “I go back every night. I just don’t eat at
home occasionally. Today is just a special case, why do you have to worry
so much?”

Lu Shangjin didn’t know how to control the tone of his voice either,
“You’re carrying a baby in your stomach now, don’t you know! Can I not
worry when you’re out running about! Isn’t it dangerous!”

Yan Yi didn’t argue with him again and gave a light “mm”.

Lu Shangjin put down the phone and scratched his head. He brought the
dishes to the kitchen, thinking that if Yan Yi were to stay at Tan Meng’s
tonight, why not just eat the leftovers from dinner for tomorrow morning
and make do with it, without having to re-make it?

He freed up a few dishes to wash. The glass door to the kitchen was tightly
closed, the sound of water rushing.

When he came back out, he looked at the dining room and froze for a few
seconds.

Sitting at the table, Yan Yi chucked a piece of squid roll into his bowl and
ladled a spoonful of vegetables mixed with rice.

“Hey, it’s all cold.” Lu Shangjin came over and took the bowl in his hand,
“Didn’t you eat outside?”

Supporting his cheek, Yan Yi looked at him put the food into the microwave
and took it out after 30 seconds. His eyes suddenly curved slightly:

“I’m not full.”

Lu Shangjin placed the bowl in front of Yan Yi and pressed the rim of the
bowl, saying, “Don’t stuff yourself to coax me.”

Yan Yi swept his hand away, “Don’t praise yourself.”

Lu Shangjin pulled him into his arms and kissed his forehead, before
suddenly bending his knee and carrying him up the stairs.

“Liar. I’ll cut some fruit for you later. Sleep after you eat.”

When he carried the fruit upstairs, Yan Yi was lying over his desk in the
bedroom writing something.

Lu Shangjin propped his hands up on the desk and looked down at him
from above. He forked a strawberry and fed it to Yan Yi’s mouth, saying,
“Baobei, have you got any silver yet?”

Yan Yi answered with an “mm”, “It’s no big deal.”

“How much did you get?”

“Twenty.”

Lu Shangjin was stunned, “Wasn’t it ten?”

Yan Yi lifted his head, “You checked my account.”

Lu Shangjin covered up with a cough, “That- I was afraid you robbed a

bank or illegally fundraised or something. Did you also obtain equipment?”

“Of course. Many of the retired PBB members are members I’ve led and a
batch was still tossing arms around.”

Lu Shangjin was rendered speechless. He lied back against the chair and
held up his thumb in front of Yan Yi, “Awesome, you are.”

Yan Yi was deciding on the location of the alliance headquarters and

recruitment documents.

Lu Shangjin pointed to one of the lines, took the pen in Yan Yi’s hand,
leaned down and crossed off that line, then made another line of annotation
under.

“Master Yan, the place you chose collides with a boss I know and he’s also
planning something on this land. Why don’t you leave it to me, little
brother, to handle it?”

Yan Yi looked at the annotation Lu Shangjin made with his eyes lit up then
changed to a red pen to make a mark where Lu Shangjin crossed out.

He was planning to make another change, but Lu Shangjin looked at his

watch and forcibly pressed the light switch before carrying Yan Yi to bed.

“It’s already ten. You might not need sleep, but the baby is tired.”

The scent of soothing narcissus pheromones filled the bedroom, relieving

Yan Yi’s tiredness throughout the day.
Feeling his alpha dad’s pheromones, it was like the little fellow in his belly
wanted to jump out and hug his dad, arching into a little pouch from Yan
Yi’s belly; this would make people’s heart melt if anyone saw it.

Lu Shangjin really wanted to touch this little fellow; his hand was raised
mid-air and stopped abruptly when it was close to touching his bulging
belly.

He lowered his head and through a layer of soft skin, he gently kissed the
little Lu Yan who was not yet born.

There was no longer a need to leave a wall lamp on in the bedroom to give
Yan Yi an increased sense of security. Lu Shangjin lied on his side with his
head propped up, taking advantage of the darkness to summon the courage
to ask him in a low voice:

“Is the smell of narcissus really that disgusting?”

“It’s fine.”

It’s fine?

These words were stuck in his throat. Lu Shangjin mulled over it for a long
time before he pulled the quilt up for Yan Yi. The concentration of his
soothing pheromones gradually weakened and he gradually stopped
releasing them.

His vision became a little blurry. He could always vaguely recall the period
of time when he was still at school. With his age and grades, he was still the
pride of heaven in the special elite school.

In the first semester, he got a score of S in 16 subjects and S overall. No

matter how cold, arrogant and unsociable a child was, the moment he got a
good grade, he would always want to show it to his parents.

He pretended not to leave the final evaluation report on the table as he read
a book while looking at Lu Lin from the corner of his eyes with an awaiting
gaze.

Lu Lin glanced at the final evaluation report on the table, then asked him to
go for differentiation training to break into the M2 grade.

On that day, Lu Shangjin rebutted against him again, coldly questioning if

Lu Lin was only a J1 alpha; what qualifications did he have to make
excessive demands for his son to reach A3? There must be a limit to how
much one held great ambitions for his son.

Lu Lin hardly ever hit him, but on that day in front of a dozen bodyguards,
he gave him a slap in the face and told him to get lost and not to spread that
disgusting smell of narcissus in front of himself.
The hot water from the shower poured over the wound, stirring Lu Shangjin
to wake up a little.

After taking a shower, with the smell of the body wash masking his
pheromones, he climbed into bed and hugged Yan Yi through the thin quilt.

“Maybe it’s a little uncomfortable if you smell it too much.” Lu Shangjin

smiled gently and rubbed the tip of his nose against Yan Yi’s glands, “My
wife smells so good, no one would dislike it.”

With his back facing Lu Shangjin, in a direction he couldn’t see, Yan Yi bit
his lips silently.

As he left work a little late on the weekend, the florist had run out of roses,
so Lu Shangjin inserted a small bundle of baby’s breath flowers on the dim
sum box he brought back.

When Yan Yi passed by the foyer, he saw a bit of fatigue on Lu Shangjin’s

face, but as soon as the latter saw Yan Yi, he regained his spirits and handed
over the gifts he brought every day.

The look in the alpha’s eyes was a little strange, like a puppy abandoned in
a cardboard box in the garbage on a rainy day.

Perhaps it hadn’t been very smooth sailing at work lately and the alpha was
a little tired, and after coming home he still had to face obstacles
everywhere. Yan Yi felt that this was unnecessary for Lu Shangjin to go
through, so he took the gift in his hand.

“You’re so good today.” Smiling as though he had been comforted, Lu

Shangjin walked in and pulled Yan Yi by the waist into his arms, lowering
his head to kiss between his brows, “Did baby bully you today? I’ll teach
him a lesson later.”

Yan Yi pushed his chest. “No.”

“You look very good today.” Lu Shangjin stuck to him without letting go.
Only when Yan Yi said he was hungry did he go into the kitchen and wash
his hands to cook dinner.

When he came out with a pot of lotus root and rib soup, he saw Yan Yi on
the balcony holding a vase he found from the pantry and inserting a bunch
of the baby’s breath flowers he had just brought back, before placing it by
the French windows.

Lu Shangjin gazed at the omega leisurely arranging in the balcony so

intently that he wasn’t even aware that the soup had spilled and scalded his
hand.

During dinner, he picked out the bones, put the stewed meat into the plate,
scooped the lotus root and corn into a bowl and pushed them to Yan Yi.

Lu Shangjin talked about his company languidly, saying that the continuous
troubles had been taken care of. Yan Yi, in turn, relaxed.

He took a mouthful of soup himself, his cuffs neatly and properly pulled up
to the elbow. The former young master had already become a skilled hand.
While there was also a natural reserve in his every move, there was no
longer a hint of indifference and arrogance. Each glance he cast towards
Yan Yi was full of sincerity.

The alpha released soothing pheromones less often, but the amount didn’t
change much, squeezing the concentration as much as possible each time he
released.

After releasing, he hurriedly went to take a shower and came back.

Yan Yi couldn’t sleep for a while. He held the tablet to watch the recording
of Dr. Zhong’s lecture.

Today’s content was about the differences of the A/O gender body structure.
Omegas are small in size and have light bones, and their glands can
withstand less energy. So after performing higher-grade evolution, their
glandular cells will proliferate, showing the awakening proprioceptive
characteristics, like the rabbit ears and tail of a lop-eared rabbit omega.

Alphas’ glands are tougher and can withstand more energy. The evolution
of M2 and below will not cause their glandular cells to proliferate to carry
excess energy, hence no ontogenetic features will appear.

After listening to a lesson, Lu Shangjin came in wearing a cross-neck

bathrobe, hair dripping droplets down to his collarbone and his chest,
leaving a thin trail of water.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he held Yan Yi’s swollen calves and kneaded
them with hands warmed by the hot water. “I won’t have to go to work from
tomorrow onwards. I took a paternity leave to stay at home with you and
the baby.”

Yan Yi put the tablet aside. Having his legs kneaded and massaged by the
alpha was very comfortable, but he was still a little unused to it. “You
should do your work, I can do it myself.”

“You do everything by yourself, that makes me useless.” Lu Shangjin lifted

the white and tender foot in his hand and kissed the middle of it. Yan Yi
kicked him gently, tucking back into the quilt from feeling itchy.

“Alright, I’m afraid it’ll be too hard for you to carry the baby alone.” Lu
Shangjin turned off the pale yellow wall lamp on the bed and laid next to
Yan Yi. He really wanted to hold him, but he only reached into the quilt and
held his hand, rubbing the base of his finger where the tattoo was removed.

Yan Yi’s fingers stiffened, feeling a little guilty, like a thief having their
pockets containing stolen goods petted down by someone.

“I… has baby missed me?” Lu Shangjin very much wanted to touch the
baby, yet, scrupulous of his own hands that have sinned, did not feel free to
touch Yan Yi’s belly at will.

However, Yan Yi heard the uneasiness in his hesitant words and hesitantly
put Lu Shangjin’s hand on the rise of his belly.
After all this time, he still forgot the pain and foolishly reached out to touch
the flames.

The bedroom was silent and dark, and the beating movement from another
small life under his palm was particularly clear.

The flames, however, did not burn him, but faintly warmed his fingertips.

Lu Shangjin suddenly rolled over to hold Yan Yi tighter, tucking the little
rabbit in his arms. His breathing was much heavier, his heart beating so fast
that a faint sound could be heard.

Pillowed on the alpha’s chest, Yan Yi’s cheek was knocked by every rapid
beat of Lu Shangjin’s heart.

“Does your back hurt?” Lu Shangjin seemed as though he was evading the
current ambiguous atmosphere. He gently pressed his hands on Yan Yi’s
back. “I read online that when you’re pregnant, your lower back and legs
hurt, and it’s uncomfortable everywhere.”

Listening to the alpha’s constrained voice, Yan Yi gave a laugh. “I can

endure it all.”

Lu Shangjin knew how much he could endure. His hands relaxed a little,
and with a bit of regret and heartache, he subconsciously released soothing
pheromones, then immediately put them away when he came back to his
senses.

“Have you ever liked me.”

The words that had been buried in his heart for a long time were finally
asked. His heart felt like a boiled clam, desperately struggling to clamp
tightly shut, but it opened helplessly.

He waited for a long time but didn’t get an answer, only to find that Yan Yi
had fallen asleep, his rabbit ears covering half of his face.

Lu Shangjin was a little disappointed, but more than that, he was glad.
Looking down at Yan Yi’s sleeping face, he kissed him on the cheek.
He didn’t know if he was attracted to the pheromones that were
inadvertently emitted when the omega was asleep, but Lu Shangjin felt
feverish all over. His lower part had also stood up slightly, a bulge tenting
through his underwear.

Grabbing himself and moving up and down in agitation, he sniffed Yan Yi’s
smell as he masturbated in the dark.

Relative to the theory of higher-grade dependencies in omegas, alphas had

higher-grade reproduction. The higher the grade of the alpha, the stronger
the desire to mate, which was also a racial instinct that arose to reproduce
better offspring.

An alpha unsatisfied during their rut was in more pain than an omega, and
the inhibitor was only an emergency measure to quench their thirst by
drinking poison. After developing the resistance to the drug, they began to
experience frequent ruts, becoming trapped in a deadly cycle.

“Baobei, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Lu Shangjin gently grasped Yan Yi’s hand
and put it on his neck. The faintly tangible touch of the omega’s fingers to
his glands brought a bit of pleasant sensation that failed to scratch his itch.

“I’m sorry…I couldn’t help it…”

He sat up and leaned against the bed, recklessly pulling his underwear down
and holding Yan Yi’s hand in his. His right hand impatiently grasped his
cock, moving it up and down one stroke at a time.

“Mmn…” He leaned back against the wall with a ragged gasp, beads of
sweat trickling down the knot of his Adam’s apple and into the hollows of
his collarbones.

Finally having his release, Lu Shangjin rested for a while before going
downstairs to the bathroom to get an inhibitor.

He carefully turned over the medical kit, which only had a bundle of strong
inhibitors left. There was no other way, so he had to bite open the seal and
insert it into his forearm.
The instructions say that the strong inhibitor was only for A3 glands, or
glands that developed resistance to the drug. Yan Yi should have previously
used this type of inhibitor before. If an omega can use the inhibitor, then it
shouldn’t be a problem for an alpha to use it.

The cold medicinal liquid pushed into his veins like a tube of chili liquid
injecting inside.

A sharp pain rose along his veins, forcibly suppressing the incomparable
agitation of the glands caused by his rut. Lu Shangjin held the sink and
squatted down, silently enduring the stabbing pain that felt like ants
gnawing at his bone marrow.

Half an hour later, the pain subsided, Lu Shangjin was drenched in cold
sweat and had to take a shower again.

He didn’t go back to the bedroom, but felt for his cigarettes and lighter from
the coffee table, and sat down by the French windows on the balcony.

The bright lights outside the window went out one by one, leaving a few
scattered street lights in the park. There were no pedestrians walking on the
streets, leaving only a few traces of cold wind pouring into Lu Shangjin’s
collar through the open window. It had long passed the beginning of
summer, and the night was still chilly.

The French windows reflected the red sparks of his cigarette butt. Lu
Shangjin sat on the ground in a daze, recalling the three years of the
breakup. What did Yan Yi rely on during his heats when he was by his side?

It wasn’t that Yan Yi refused to say anything, but at that time, he himself
had refused to listen to anything.

He looked at the vase of flowers sitting side by side with him, the bouquet
of baby’s breath was still in full bloom.

When Yan Yi got up at night to use the bathroom, he suddenly heard a burst
of broken glass coming from downstairs. Startled, he hurriedly went
downstairs and turned on the lights.
The lights in the living room turned bright and glaring all of a sudden, and
both people covered their eyes. Yan Yi raised his hand to cover the light,
while Lu Shangjin was covering the bitterness in his eyes.

“What are you doing?” Yan Yi walked over and saw a puddle of water
spilled on the balcony, the broken glass pieces of the vase and baby’s breath
scattered all over the place.

Lu Shangjin squatted on the ground, picking up the glass fragments piece

by piece with his hands. Unaware of the cuts on his hands oozing blood in
the darkness, he smeared his attractive face and eyes dirty.
 Chap 80

Edited and Proofread by: cream

Lu Shangjin didn’t allow him to come over. The dignified president of the
Flying Eagle group took the vase as he finished venting out his anger;
squatting down on the ground and struggling with difficulty to pick up the
broken glass. It’s not that he felt bad about the vase, but he was afraid the
broken glass might prick his darling’s feet.

He also didn’t want to mention this bunch of flowers and didn’t want other
men’s names to appear in this family. He should be the only alpha that the
little rabbit has in his heart and keep his territory firmly enclosed.

Yan Yi had picked up the school report card that was thrown on the table
with disdain by Lu Lin before, bouncing in front of Lu Shangjin with his
little ears flinging around. He held the carefully flattened report card in
front of him like a sacred object, his face full of surprise and adoration.

The little rabbit said gege is a xue-ba1, and even quietly stuck the report
card in the closet he slept in, using a red pen to draw three small flowers on
the horizontal line in the column where parents’ signatures should be.

At that time, Lu Shangjin still had a cold and proud face, but the disdainful
look in his eyes was already soft enough to return him to his childish age.
He took Yan Yi to eat expensive ice cream, watching the little rabbit who
was a head shorter than him squinting his eyes in satisfaction, and wiped
the ice cream off the corner of his lips for him, naturally licking it into his
mouth.

At that age, he could already see through the flattery or sincerity behind the
words of praise. Every time he got a good result, only one person applauded
and cheered for him, and Lu Shangjin only needed him as an audience
member.

Yan Yi stood a few steps away holding his belly, recalling with a bit of
muddledness; what on earth did the innocent baby’s breath flowers do to
offend Lu Shangjjin.

A small lion cub appeared in his mind and he had a sudden epiphany.
Carrying a shadow of a smile in his gaze, he looked at Lu Shangjin,
stunned.

“You really are frighteningly small-minded,” Yan Yi went to the medicine

cabinet in the bathroom to rummage for alcohol and gauze, when he saw a
tube of used-up inhibitors thrown in the garbage.

The strong inhibitor; the kind he used to use. He didn’t know what
mentality Lu Shangjin had to inject this, but he should have learned this
painful method of seeking survival and not death this time.

His alpha hadn’t been hunting for pleasure for a long time anymore; it was
indeed a rare occurrence for such an indulgent alpha.

Lu Shanjgin was a narcissist who loved his own reflection. He never liked
anyone and every omega around him was just to satisfy his instincts, a toy
to vent so that he could be more mentally focused on work.

So when he saw his own shadow in Lu Shangjin’s increasingly penetrating

eyes, Yan Yi was flustered.

In the past, no matter how much he was pampered, the alpha’s self-
confidence and the way he looked at anyone disdainfully could not be
suppressed in Yan Yi’s sparkling eyes. But now he has changed even to the
point where there was an exceeding amount of cautiousness to right his
wrongs when he was in front of Yan Yi.

He took the small garbage can on the coffee table and picked up the glass in
Lu Shangjin’s hand, took the broom to collect the rest of the pieces, and
flushed Lu Shangjin’s hand with alcohol and wrapped it with gauze.
Lu Shangjin stood dumbfoundedly, looking exactly like a big golden
retriever with his paw outstretched waiting for his master to wash him.

Without waiting for Yan Yi to fasten the gauze tightly, he turned his hand
and grabbed the other person’s wrist, pressing Yan Yi against the wall, and
asked him in an insane state of mind, “Are you going to dump me after
giving birth? You still want to leave, you want to take my son and leave
together, the both of you don’t want me anymore.”

Yan Yi pushed him and swung his hand away, but the tight grip hurt him.
His little ears cowered and hid in his hair, but the more he struggled, the
tighter the grip became. The temperament of the alpha in a rut was
alarmingly irritable; the strength of his hand ​could not be accurately
controlled to a suitable amount.

Yan Yi suddenly softened and rested his head on Lu Shangjin’s chest.

The furious and irritable falcon was then immediately pacified.

He loosened his sharp claws, opened his wings in a daze, and protected the
soft little white rabbit, warm and safe underneath.

Lu Shangjin felt a warm wetness on the skin of his chest through the fabric.
A second ago, he was still going crazy, but the next second his whole body
melted. His temper had all worn out without a trace. He carefully held Yan
Yi’s face and soothed with a soft voice, “You’ve taken my heart away, I
can’t live anymore.”

Yan Yi just buried his face in his chest, afraid to look face to face with Lu
Shangjin, but also afraid to see the helplessness in the alpha’s eyes.

He silently pointed to the two pots of daffodils on the balcony. Those two
pots of flowers are very delicate, you leave them there and not care. Why
aren’t they wilting? I water them. Where did the nutrients solution come
from? I bought them. Thoughtless and jealous.

After coaxing Yan Yi to go to sleep in the middle of the night, Lu Shangjin

calmed down and listened to the gentle and peaceful breathing of the omega
in the dark bedroom. Once he confirmed that his beloved omega was still
there, he finally settled down.

The weather had turned hot- rabbits were naturally afraid of heat. After
spending some time in Southeast Asia, he would often pester Lu Shangjin
to get him some ice cubes to chew on. Lu Shangjin couldn’t endure the look
of him holding an AK and acting coquettish towards him so he brought him
ice cubes in complete obedience.

Now that he was carrying little Lu Yan in his tummy, he couldn’t be

arbitrary with the basic necessities of life. He couldn’t turn on the air
conditioner before the most intense heat of the month, so he slept tossing
and turning, and even woke up from his own tossing at five or six o’clock.

Halfway through sleep, he grabbed the hem of Lu Shangjin’s clothes and

gently tugged at him, shaking him awake and saying that it’s hot and he
wanted to turn on the air conditioner, turning it on to 29 degrees would be
fine.

The sleepy little rabbit mumbled at the tip of his nose and grabbed his hem
to mumble about wanting to cool down. It was truly so cute that it made
anyone want to kiss him.

Lu Shangjin picked up Yan Yi’s little ears and gently fanned them to
dissipate heat. But Yan Yi was still uncomfortably hot and asked him to use
a small fan to blow.

Using the fan wasn’t good either. They hadn’t reached the day when it was
the most hot and the blowing would cause his joints to hurt.

Lu Shangjin sat up, took a business magazine, and lifted one of Yan Yi’s
little ears to give him a gentle fanning.

He didn’t feel that it was laborious serving his pregnant wife but with Yan
Yi’s belly getting bigger every day, he became visibly delicate and
squeamish.
After the weather got hotter, the little darling wife he held in the palm of his
hand started to become a demon.

He started a fight during dinner.

He didn’t want to eat hot meals, so he deliberately dragged on in the

bedroom until the rice was almost cold before coming out to eat. As a
result, Lu Shangjin reheated the cold rice and served it again.

Yan Yi couldn’t taste the food that was too hot for his mouth, but he
couldn’t eat cold food either. Lu Shangjin blew it for him and pushed it
over. He was also only willing to eat the congee when it had gone through
cold water.

After a consensus was reached on one issue, a new one emerged.

Yan Yi had a preference for vegetarian food. Previously, he was restrained

in front of Lu Shangjin, and also ate two small bites of lean meat and
spareribs. Now he was high maintenance, like he had become a different
person. If he didn’t want to eat, he wouldn’t, and would pick them out from
his bowl.

Lu Shangjin laughed angrily. And like a father, he went to buy the finest
beef brain and stewed it with tomatoes.

Yan Yi only picked tomatoes from the inside and ate them. How would he
be willing to pry open his mouth to pour it in? It made Lu Shangjin so
worried that he had a headache from how hard it was to solve this. He
hugged Yan Yi and bit his ear, “A stinky kid like you. In a few months,
there will be another one just like you,” His mouth was full of complaints,
but his eyes were full of smiles.

Having a sense of security while being relied on, he no longer had an

extreme fear of Yan Yi leaving.

Deep pockets can be left unattended, while shallow pockets can only be
pinned down for fear of losing things.
The trembling fear in the meanwhile was only known by the depth of his
pockets.

Yan Yi shook his little ears and secretly smoothed the wrinkles on the hem
of Lu Shangjin’s shirt.

His eight months pregnant belly was like carrying a small watermelon.
Sitting, lying and walking were a little inconvenient. In the eyes of alpha, it
was even more rare. He carried Yan Yi around like a hermit crab would
carry a sea anemone.

Yan Yi no longer resisted him touching the baby. He sat on the bed with his
alpha as they held his belly together, waiting to touch the baby’s feet
kicking.

Suddenly, he heard Yan Yi yelp ‘aiya’ softly. Lu Shangjin looked up at him,

but Yan Yi covered his upper body and shooed Lu Shangjin out.

Initially, Lu Shangjin didn’t understand how the little rabbit suddenly

flipped out, but then he saw him carefully lifting up the thin quilt and
covering his chest.

Lu Shangjin immediately became alert and observed around him like sizing
up a prey, coaxing him not to be afraid, while gently pulling off the thin
quilt covering Yan Yi’s chest.

The front of the silk nightgown was soaked with two small spots, pointing
out the red bean-like shape.

Yan Yi immediately took the quilt and blocked, pretending to be relaxed as

he said, it’s been like this the past few days, there’s a little swelling pain,
it’s fine.

He then motionlessly raised his little rabbit ears to wrap around his red face
into a mummy.

Lu Shangjin called Dr. Zhong who seemed quite busy on the other end. It
took several rings to answer.
On the other end of the phone, Dr. Zhong’s voice was a bit hoarse and he
said intermittently, then you- help him, r-rub it.

Lu Shangjin frowned and listened. He vaguely heard someone urging Dr.

Zhong to hurry up and hang up after he finished.

Xia Pingtian’s lewd red rose pheromones literally rushed out along the
phone and hit Lu Shangjin in the face. He calmly hung up as if nothing had
happened, regardless of whether it was big Xia or little Xia, hearing the
voice of the last name Xia was annoying.

Yan Yi bit his lip and pressed his foot against him to prevent him from
approaching, but Lu Shangjin grabbed his ankle and dragged him into his
arms, pulling the little rabbit onto his lap and gently rubbing it for him from
behind.

The two petite soft breasts could fill the palm of the alpha’s hands. Lu
Shangjin rubbed them slowly and with effort, while Yan Yi held his arm
and trembled.

Yan Yi’s buttocks rubbed against Lu Shangjin’s leg through his silk pyjama
pants, and gradually something squeezed between his thighs.

Lu Shangjin whispered sternly in his ear, “Behave.”

He tried to be as stern as possible, but his hoarse and dry voice still revealed
the alpha’s wretchedness at this time. He wouldn’t have dared to touch Yan
Yi when he hadn’t been forgiven, let alone when he was approaching the
due date. His favourite baobei was carrying his favourite little baobei; he
had the heart of a thief but had no guts.

Taking advantage of the recent sunny weather, Lu Shangjin often took Yan
Yi out for a walk. They went to the villa where they used to live and pack
up their things, preparing to live in their current small duplex apartment.
Although it was a little smaller, the taste of home was a bit stronger.

Yan Yi sat on the sofa with his stomach outstretched. He was ordered not to
move around to avoid being bumped so he instructed Lu Shangjin to seal
everything he liked into a cardboard box to take away.

Lu Shangjin listened to him and pulled out a stack of CDs from the TV
cabinet drawer. Yan Yi picked out the one they had seen in the cinema and
let him throw the rest away.

The name of the movie on the CD was reflected in Lu Shangjin’s eyes, and
his heart warmed up. He took a dust bag to help him seal the CD.

After packing up, Lu Shangjin went to look at the grand piano in the piano
room, the only thing he took with him when he moved out from Lu Lin’s
place.

A layer of dust fell on the piano. He didn’t touch it and no one dared to take
care of it either. Anyone fortunate enough to have seen this piano knew that
it was Lu Shangjin’s treasure. It was forbidden to wipe, touch, and more so
play.

Yan Yi took a dry rag over and wiped the lid of the piano by hand and asked
Lu Shangjin to go to the cabinet to bring the piano cleaner over. After Yan
Yi had left, this four million piano was surprisingly left unattended.

 Chap 81

The carved mermaid and waves on the body of the piano are the improvised
masterpiece of an Italian artist. When played, the rich and clear sound is
like the waves washing against the beautiful scales of the mermaid. Ye Wan
prepared for Lu Shangjin’s birthday five years in advance, carving a bunch
of interdependent lilies and tulips on the foot of the piano as their signature.

Yan Yi sat silently on the side, watching as Lu Shangjin refused to touch the
piano for many years, but today he lightly touched the ivory keys and
occasionally played a note to check the tuning.

Yan Yi only stared at Lu Shangjin’s hands, thinking about how they were
warm and smooth like white jade when they first met, but now they are
covered in scars.

Yan Yi silently counted the scars on his hands, confident that he knew the
source of each one. The slightly deeper one was from when he was
wounded by a drug dealer’s dagger while doing arms deals in the Golden
Triangle. Those people became angry when their deal failed, and
unfortunately, the wound ended up on Lu Shangjin’s hand, which Yan Yi
avenged.

There were also several scars from shrapnel that Lu Shangjin had protected
Yan Yi from. Since being scarred, Lu Shangjin no longer cared about his
own hands but instead cared more about Yan Yi’s babyface. He used his
hands to shield him from all the gunfire, complaining that no alpha likes an
ugly little rabbit.

There were also four or five scars that Yan Yi did not recognize the origin
of, and he did not delve into the reason because he knew he would not be
able to figure it out.
This piece of music was also Yan Yi’s favorite to listen to. When Lu
Shangjin played halfway through, he suddenly pressed down on some
wrong keys, and then the sound abruptly stopped.

It had been too long since the piano was last tuned, and Yan Yi stood up to
help tune it, but Lu Shangjin waved him off and hurried into the bathroom.

Lu Shangjin was hiding in the bathroom, his face already pale with
sickness. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, and he struggled to
clench his right hand, his fingers stiff and trembling.

He took off his shirt in front of the mirror, revealing his right shoulder,
where the three dark and deep wounds had oozed pus again. In fact, his
injuries had been worsening these past few days, but he pretended to have
recovered to allow Yan Yi to focus on taking care of himself and their baby,
rather than worrying about his alpha’s body.

He was also afraid that Yan Yi would become suspicious, but he could only
hide it from him because Yan Yi had not yet thought about his own gland.
Lu Shang liked to see Yan Yi’s heartache because of himself, but he didn’t
need to know anything more than that.

He had to hold on until the baby was born before going to the hospital. He
couldn’t let Yan Yi feel anxious and not receive the comfort of pheromones
during the pregnancy. That would be too hard.

Lu Shang pulled out a piece of new gauze and padded the wound to avoid
staining his shirt. Just as he was putting on his sleeve, Yan Yi pushed open
the bathroom door.

He held his phone, already contacted the hospital, and propped himself up
against the door frame, like intercepting a good student for money at the
school gate, without reason, tilting his chin slightly. “I’m going to the
hospital this afternoon to look at my arm.”

Lu Shang was stunned, and suddenly didn’t feel any pain in his shoulder.
He held his soft wife and pinched her waist and buttocks, reprimanding her
in a low voice, “You’re getting more and more domineering.” He began to
resent the little thing hiding in her belly and wanted to take good care of his
wife but was greatly constrained.

The omega in his arms bit her pale red lips, and Lu Shang stared at her
intently. His mouth felt dry, his Adam’s apple moved up and down, and he
wanted to devour the little white rabbit and eat her clean in the nest on the
cliff.

He lowered his head and tentatively approached, his lips lightly touching
Yan Yi’s corner of the mouth, seeking permission. Yan Yi resisted and
turned his head to push him away, but Lu Shang unexpectedly lost control
and pressed him against the door frame, fiercely biting his lips

Lu Shangjin kissed him with closed eyes, forgetting everything else. While
intermittently releasing his lips, he sensually held Yan Yi’s hand and coaxed
him, “You need to learn to possess your own things. Plant a few small
strawberries here for me.” He held Yan Yi’s hand and touched his own
neck.

Yan Yi’s legs weakened from the kissing, and he fell into Lu Shangjin’s
arms, with his hands still restlessly touching the fluffy ball of fur outside Lu
Shangjin’s pants.

Although Yan Yi wanted to say something, he hid his worried eyes and
buried his face in Alpha’s shoulder after several failed attempts to speak. He
licked his reddened lips and put his rabbit ears on Lu Shangjin’s shoulders.

Unable to resist Yan Yi, Lu Shangjin had no choice but to stay at the
hospital to recover from his injury. Yan Yi also stayed in the hospital room,
and as the due date approached, Lu Shangjin became anxious if he didn’t
see Yan Yi for even a minute.

During this time, Xia Jingtian and Gu Wei also came to visit Yan Yi in the
hospital room. Lu Shangjin would slice fruit for Yan Yi and pour him juice,
appearing magnanimous and gentle, as if he were a senior, but in fact, the
entire room was filled with his oppressive pheromones.
Bi Ruijing also visited once and talked to Lu Shangjin about a few
important matters before chatting casually. Yan Yi privately confided to Tan
Meng once that Bi Ruijing’s ex-girlfriend, who had returned from abroad,
had caused him trouble.

But Yan Yi didn’t mention that Bi Ruijing’s ex-girlfriend was found on the
lawn on the first floor. The housekeeper called an ambulance, and Bi
Ruijing didn’t dare to ask how badly she was injured. When he got home,
Tan Meng threw a few pots and vases at him and even said, “Old lecher, get
lost.”

After seeing off a few waves of visiting friends and colleagues, Lushang Jin
put Yan Yi on his lap and hugged him from behind while peeling an apple
and cutting it into small pieces to feed Yan Yi. Yan Yi silently ate what was
fed to him.

Lushang Jin became vigilant when Yan Yi didn’t show any pickiness
towards the food he was being fed. Like a large dog, he snuggled up to him
from behind, and despairingly promised that nothing like this would ever
happen in their family again.

In reality, no one was causing trouble for Yan Yi. Those who had a bit of
self-awareness knew that his wife was off-limits.

But Yan Yi just couldn’t seem to muster any enthusiasm. He reluctantly

tried to cheer up and comforted Alpha, saying he didn’t think about it too
much.

Every night, Lushang Jin went to get medicine, leaving Yan Yi alone in the
hospital room. Yan Yi sat by the bedside drinking porridge, occasionally
touching the small foot that appeared on his belly.

He had long sensed that he would eventually succumb to this, but it was
only a matter of time. His heart trembled, and he couldn’t help feeling a
twinge of guilt. He was only tripping himself up, but he had to blame the
child with his mouth.
After finishing the porridge and Lushang Jin still hadn’t returned, he put on
his slippers and went to check.

Standing outside the operating room, through the glass, you could see the
alpha inside baring his upper body, his broad shoulders and slim waist
always catching the eye.

The three deep wounds on his shoulders were re-cut open and cleaned, and
when the medicine was applied, the veins on his arm and neck tightened as
he tightly gripped the white bedsheet at his side. He calmly tilted his head
back, and the blood drained from his face.

Yan Yi remembers when he was very young, playing with him outside. In
the morning, when they left the house, Lu Shangjin muttered under his
breath that his shoes were rubbing his feet. When he came back in the
evening, happy and carefree, Yan Yi noticed that a piece of skin had been
rubbed off his heel.

Lu Shangjin had always been silent since he was a child, and even if it hurt,
he would only swallow it silently, like a pearl oyster using its soft flesh to
numb the pain.

Yan Yi didn’t wait for him, but instead acted as if he had never been there
and went back to the ward to wash up and sit by the bed reading. In fact, he
couldn’t really read more than a few lines of the book.

After another half hour or so, Yan Yi fell asleep with the book in his arms,
vaguely feeling someone sitting next to him and slowly pulling the book out
of his embrace and placing it on the bedside table.

Lu Shangjin gently placed his fingertips into Yan Yi’s palm, and the
bunny’s hand tightened around his fingers in a daze, as if he had gotten
some candy. The tired eyes of Lu Shangjin lit up.

The large hand covered in old scars took Yan Yi’s hand. Lu Shangjin bent
down and placed Yan Yi’s hand on his own lips. He gently touched Yan Yi’s
curled and light eyelashes with his index finger and carefully touched the
small fetus in his stomach. He whispered “Goodnight.”
After turning off the light, Lu Shangjin sat on the other bed and struggled to
unbutton his shirt with one hand. He lazily lay down in bed and was
immediately thirsty. He reached for the thermos bottle on the bedside table.

His fingers trembled and he almost couldn’t hold the cup steady. Hot water
spilled onto his fingers, causing Lu Shangjin to frown. He quickly got up,
put the cup back in place, and glanced at Yan Yi. He was afraid of waking
up the pregnant omega who sometimes had trouble sleeping.

But Yan Yi had already sat up, found his slippers on the floor, and poured a
cup of water from the thermos bottle for Lu Shangjin.

While apologizing, “I woke you up,” Lu Shangjin reached out to take the
cup of water. However, Yan Yi kept holding the cup near his own mouth.

Lu Shangjin was surprised but drank the water from Yan Yi’s hand and
softly laughed, comforting him, “I had cramps just now, it was really…”

Then his neck was hugged softly.

Lu Shangjin was motionless and blank in the head. It wasn’t until a delicate
and gentle soothing pheromone wrapped around his body and the sweet
taste of candy smoothed out the pain in his shoulders.

Alpha couldn’t help but childishly hug his waist and bury his head into Yan
Yi’s chest, letting Yan Yi place his hands on Alpha’s excruciatingly painful
shoulders as his body trembled uncontrollably.

Yan Yi stood in front of him, gently caressing Alpha’s head, humming the
melody he had played for him not long ago, slowly and softly.

Lu Shangjin carried him to bed and squeezed together on a single bed,

tightly pressed against each other, foreheads touching, entangled in kisses,
tongues twining, fingers interlocking.

Neither of them remembered when they fell asleep. Yan Yi only

remembered that Lu Shangjin kept whispering in his ear, saying “I love
you” dozens of times, and at the end, Land Golden Silk’s voice became
sticky and aggrieved, gradually calming his breathing.

Yan Yi was awakened by a sudden, slow-to-fast pain.

When he woke up, his whole body was already soaked in cold sweat, and
something wet was flowing down his thigh.

He drowsily opened his eyes and saw Lu Shangjin telling him to lie still and
pressing the call button calmly and skillfully, though his eyes were already
panicked almost to the point of suffocation.
 Chap 82

Dr. Zhong intercepted Lu Shangjin outside the delivery room and solemnly
informed him that his injuries were severe and that he needed enough
glandular energy to recover. But seeing him preparing to use two injections
of strong energy serum, Lu Shangjin feared that he would exhaust all his
comforting pheromones on the delivery bed.

He paced restlessly outside, seemingly listening to Dr. Zhong’s advice, but

his eyes kept wandering towards the delivery room.

Dr. Zhong wasn’t afraid to offend Lu Shangjin and firmly said, “We have
two alpha doctors in our hospital who are highly compatible with Yan Yi.
Let them do it.” Yan Yi wasn’t marked and could be comforted by other
alphas.

But it wasn’t the same.

If he could spare Yan Yi some pain, he could tolerate another alpha

comforting him. But this time, he wouldn’t let him suffer alone.

By the time Lu Shangjin detoxed, Yan Yi had already started having

contractions. Lying on the delivery bed, he endured the intense pain in
waves, his eyes scanning between the busy midwives and doctors, but he
couldn’t find the person he wanted to see.

The courage he had to break through the siege in a hail of bullets

disappeared in an instant. Yan Yi clenched his hands and became
increasingly frightened, trembling uncontrollably.

After the initial differentiation of his glands, he was strapped onto the
surgical table and subjected to various tests. They took samples of his stem
cells, observed his electrical responses, applied hot and cold stimuli, and
simulated bullet wounds to observe his heart rate and glandular stress
response.

Researchers in isolation suits used different instruments to experiment on

him, sending pulses of electric current through his body. Each time, the
excruciating pain added to the already near-collapse state of his nerves.
Then came the injections, which corroded every blood vessel in his body
like strong acid.

He could only stare with dilated pupils at the circular window on the
laboratory door, waiting for someone to rescue him from this hell.

The midwife kept urging him to relax and conserve his strength, but the
more she spoke, the more nervous he became. After spreading his legs, his
small tail trembled violently.

As the contractions hit him, Yan Yi’s whole body stiffened, unable to move.
His body was drenched in cold sweat, as if he had returned to the days
when he was bound to the experimental table and tortured.

Suddenly, his hand was pulled into a warm palm, and a comforting
pheromone slowly enveloped him. Lu Shang approached him and reassured
him in a low voice, telling him not to be afraid.”

Yan Yi raised his eyes in panic and held tightly onto Lu Shangjin’s hand,
afraid that he would leave. Lu Shangjin could feel the sweat in his palm.

Without showing any nervousness, Lu Shangjin comforted Yan Yi in a calm

and steady voice, even though his hand trembled violently beneath the
birthing bed. His heart was tight and painful, and it felt like it could snap
with just a gentle touch.

He said that their baby was a well-behaved child and he didn’t want to see
Yan Yi suffer for too long. He also said that he had always loved Yan Yi and
had never stopped thinking about him.

Yan Yi cried and accused Lu Shangjin of lying, but he still held onto
Alpha’s hand tightly with white-knuckled fingers. His slender legs trembled
slightly.

Lu Shangjin’s gaze remained fixated on the cigarette burn on Yan Yi’s

thigh.

That day, Yan Yi had looked at him with a humble and crazed expression,
begging him in broken sentences to mark him. He had pressured Lu
Shangjin into making a decision he couldn’t refuse, and before he knew it,
the cigarette butt in his hand had landed on Yan Yi’s leg, uncontrollably
trying to silence him.

Then he ran away, crouching in the stairwell, extinguishing the cigarette

butts on his hand again and again. Using pain as a memory to produce a
conditioned reflex, he was Pavlov’s dog for the three years he didn’t love
her.

The icy, wet sensation that fell onto his hand awakened him, and he
suddenly woke up to see Yan Yi crying.

Crying again, the little rabbit in his heart was afraid of pain and cowardly.

Lu Shangjin held his hand tightly, constantly telling him, “I won’t leave, I
will take good care of Yan Yan.”

So good at crying, it’s really worrying.

Lu Shangjin continuously released a super high concentration of soothing

pheromones for nearly ten hours. If the doctors in the delivery room weren’t
wearing protective gear, they would have been dizzy and swollen from the
M2-level pheromones.

When he was trying to push the distressed little Lu Yan out, Yan Yi wanted
to run away. He didn’t want to give birth, he was so scared of the pain. He
wanted to escape and run into Alpha’s arms, just like when he was a child.
As long as he threw himself into Brother Jin’s arms, he would be well-
protected, not cold, not hungry, not in pain, couldn’t hear thunder, and
didn’t need to wait alone in the dark for dawn.
Yan Yi was already very tired, but when he sensitively sensed that Lu
Shangjin was looking at his legs, he went crazy and hit him, tremblingly
saying not to look.

He heard Alpha whispering beside him, “Yan Yan is now a father, but he’s
still my little bunny.”

I haven’t seen it, it’s very clean. Go back and clean your little tail, and
you’ll be clean, Yanyan.”

Suddenly, Yan Yi burst into tears and laughter. His alpha was so silly and
obedient, even more silly than before. It took him three years to clumsily
navigate through the maze and return to Yan Yi’s side.

When Lu Yan came out, he cried like a little horn, as if he were extremely
aggrieved and heartbroken like a father. His wet bunny ears stuck to his
cheeks, and his bald little tail shook with his crying.

There was no difficult delivery, no heavy bleeding, and no episiotomy. The

doctors all said that this alpha was too good at comforting people. If they
listened carefully, their bones might turn to mush.

Yan Yi lay weakly on the delivery bed, with a pale face and shallow gray
hair soaked with cold sweat stuck to his forehead. He had no strength left
and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Lu Shangjin knelt down with a thump beside him, leaning against Yan
Yi’s arm, his shoulders shaking.

Yan Yi was too weak to speak, he just tilted his head and looked at his
alpha’s confused behavior.

Lu Shangjin raised his face, his eyes red and choked up, and asked him,
“Did my wife get hurt badly? My legs are weak.”

After finally coaxing Yan Yi to sleep, Lu Shangjin was forcibly taken to the
wound-cleaning room by the doctors to have his injuries rechecked, while
Dr. Zhong examined the exhaustion level of his glands. As a newly minted
alpha father, Lu Shangjin was a bit crazy and asked Dr. Zhong to give him
energy supplements. He wanted to soothe his omega and also see his baby.

Dr. Zhong gave him an ultimatum that he must undergo the final stage of
surgical treatment within two days, or else he would face amputation. This
scared Lu Shangjin and made him finally take the surgery seriously, so he
scheduled a surgery time with the doctor.

When he returned to the hospital room, Yan Yi was curled up on his side
sleeping, with a small bunny next to him also sleeping, with a red wrinkled
face. Lu Shangjin leaned over to kiss Yan Yi’s forehead, then sat down and
gently touched his son’s tender, tofu-like legs. Lu Yan kicked his small feet
in response, and Lu Shangjin happily lay down, using his fingers to
measure the chubby, potato-like feet that were only two finger joints in size
and cute enough to make him lose his mind.

After a while, Lu Shangjin stiffened his face and seriously scrutinized his
son. He felt that since Yan Yan had suffered so much, he should be taught a
good lesson. But because he was an omega rabbit, he was simply like a
little Yan Yan, and how could he bear to discipline him?

In his heart, Lu Shangjin considered several suitable kindergartens,

arranged his high school subjects, selected several university majors for
him, and thought about which recently born alpha from which family could
be paired with his son.

Yan Yi slowly opened his eyes and heard someone chattering endlessly in
his ear.”

Upon waking up, Lu Shangjin was actually teaching Lu Yan how to slice an
apple on land, muttering to himself that Lu Yan’s father was a picky eater
and that Lu Yan would have to take good care of him when he went to
work. Lu Yan, with his little hands raised, was sleeping with his eyes
squinted, still being forced to learn how to slice an apple in his dreams.

Suddenly, Lu Shangjin realized that Yan Yi had woken up and wiped his
hands to help him up. Yan Yi naturally stretched out his hand and was
gently held under the armpit by Lu Shangjin, who lifted him up onto his
lap.

Alpha lightly rubbed his collarbone with his nose and asked if he still felt
pain.

Yan Yi was still a little weak, pillow on Lu Shangjin’s shoulder, gently

holding onto his collar. He slightly relied on Alpha’s scent, quietly sniffing
the narcissus scent on him.

Lu Shangjin instinctively released a soothing pheromone for him, holding

up little Lu Yan for him to see.

Seeing that it was a little bunny omega, Yan Yi suddenly looked at Lu

Shangjin in a panic, tightening the hand holding his collar.

Lu Shangjin didn’t notice Yan Yi’s expression, lowered his head to kiss
sleeping Lu Yan, and then kissed Yan Yi: “Look at his short and bald little
ears, so funny.”

Yan Yi pushed away his hand, gently put Lu Yan’s small ears back in place,
and touched the tiny fluff on top, whispering that all bunnies are born like
this.

Lu Shangjin lightly laughed and rubbed his nose against him, murmuring
and comforting him that his baby had worked hard.

At first, breastfeeding wasn’t going smoothly. Lu Shangjin turned off the

lights and helped Yan Yi clear his blockage.

Yan Yi was in pain from the sucking and kicked and pinched Lu Shangjin’s
arm, leaving nail marks.

“Yanyan, you really cry a lot,” Lu Shangjin was softened by the little
bunny, but he was still hard below. Although the little bunny was fierce, Lu
Shangjin had to half-coax and half-threaten him to suck. Yan Yi turned over
in anger and covered his swollen nipple, his eyes turning red.
“Don’t touch, it hurts.”

Lu Shangjin could only coax the child like a child. The baby cried loudly
from hunger, and his soft and tearful little wife on his legs was in pain,
leaving Lu Shangjin unsure of whom to kneel down to first.

After two days of care, Yan Yi’s spirits recovered well. When he held the
baby to breastfeed, Lu Shangjin hugged him from behind, kissed his ear,
and made Yan Yi happy, and they started to discuss things.

He had to undergo surgery and wouldn’t be able to take care of his wife and
child for the next few days.

When Alpha said this, he was a little discouraged. He also wanted to stay
with Yan Yi and the baby all the time. He was even too lazy to go to work
after the long holiday because he truly felt as the Alpha of the family that he
was needed and relied upon.

Yan Yi nodded seriously, telling Lu Shangjin to have a safe surgery.

Lifting up Lu Shangjin, Bai Qiangu put him on the windowsill and looked
up at him, asking how he could be so obedient. Before the surgery, she had
promised Bai Qiangu to take good care of Yan Yi and kissed him before
entering the operating room.

Yan Yi didn’t say anything, but he knew that when Lu Shangjin returned, he
would comfort him with soothing pheromones and wouldn’t let Alpha
suffer in silence.

The Clear Poison surgery did not use general anesthesia, and with the
assistance of Dr. Zhong’s J1 differentiation ability, the entire process was
relatively clear-headed for Lu Shangjin. However, his right eyelid kept
twitching, which was not a good sign.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the operating room, and the
hospital’s alarm went off with a series of sharp noises.
Lu Shangjin was anxious to stand up but was pressed back down by Dr.
Zhong. He rushed out to see what was happening.

There was a muffled sound from the operating room door, and Dr. Zhong
stumbled in, clutching his stomach as blood poured out of the bullet hole on
his abdomen. Xia Pingtian, who was holding a gun, hugged him and hid
behind the operating room door, firing continuously outside with a
predatory look in his eyes, like an angry lion.

Several armed teams wearing PBB uniforms broke into the Anfia Hospital,
and Xia Pingtian shouted inside, “Yan Yi has been taken away!”

Lu Shangjin was like falling into an ice cave. He ripped off his IV line and
grabbed about ten surgical knives, rushing out of the operating room while
dodging bullets in the corridor. He rolled on the ground and threw four
knives with his left hand, immediately opening a line through the heads of
four PBB members.

Supporting his painful right shoulder, Lu Shangjin rushed towards Yan Yi’s
ward. When he arrived, the entire wall of the ward had been blown away,
and Yan Yi and the baby were nowhere to be seen.
 Chap 83

The collapsed outer wall continued to shower gravel downwards. On land,

Shangjin was holding onto the deformed steel bars melted by explosives
and looking towards the horizon. Blood streaks spread along his arm,
dripping from his fingertips to the ground.

He no longer felt any pain and could only see a vast white light before him.
An intangible wall separated him from the world, and he could not hear the
chaotic gunfire and the sounds of instruments falling due to explosions
behind him. He only saw the insulated glass cup in the ward roll down from
the head of the bed, which startled him like a thunderclap.

As he captured the faint scent of candy-flavored pheromones in the air and

located the opponent’s escape route, he sent a message to his assistant.

The PBB members outside the ward were covering the main force’s retreat.
Xia Pingtian held Dr. Zhong in his arms and let him lean on his shoulder.
He picked up the alarm communicator with a furious tone and spoke into
the monitoring speakers located throughout the corners of the Sophia
Hospital:

“Security personnel, attention. I am Xia Pingtian. Close all exits and

activate the highest level of protection orders. All medical staff should
crouch down in place.”

He repeated the command in English. As soon as the order was issued, the
doors of all the examination rooms in the Sophia Hospital were
immediately locked, and the firewalls rose at lightning speed. Dozens of
well-equipped security personnel wearing bulletproof vests rushed out of
the elevators from the underground to the first floor, surrounding the PBB
fighters who had not yet escaped.
Shangjin handed the remaining surgical knife in his hand to Dr. Zhong, who
had dry and pale lips but still skillfully used the surgical knife to remove the
bullet from his abdomen. Xia Pingtian held a magazine and released the
calming pheromones to Dr. Zhong.

“I will compensate for the losses to the hospital when I return,” Shangjin
said.

“None of this concerns you.” Xia Pingtian lowered his head to look at Dr.
Zhong, who was treating his gunshot wound. PBB wasn’t just there to
capture Yan Yi, they were after all high-level Omegas, including Dr. Zhong,
who possessed the rare M2 Qingfeng vine gland type.

Dr. Zhong’s Qingfeng vine gland M2 ability, “healing art”, was enough to
heal his gunshot wound, but Dr. Zhong’s icy hand was also placed on the
scratch on Xia Pingtian’s cheek.

As the wound healed, Dr. Zhong placed his hand on Lu Shangjin’s right
shoulder, injecting a large amount of gland energy into the wound.
Although the residual poison had not been completely cleared, the healing
of the wound was only a temporary solution, but at least it wouldn’t cause
excessive bleeding.

Lu Shangjin grabbed his wrist to stop him from exerting too much energy.
Dr. Zhong reluctantly pulled up the corners of his mouth, pale and lightly
smiling, telling him, “You have to go save people.” He had returned to the
country after studying and researching abroad for so many years, and this
goal had never changed. He wanted to save not only Yan Yi but also the
hope of high-level Omegas.

Immediately after, Dr. Zhong was shouted at by Xia Pingtian, but he didn’t
hear what he was shouting about. Several doctors helped him into the
operating room to stop the bleeding and suture the wound. Xia Pingtian
smashed the wall in anger, grabbed his gun, and followed Lu Shangjin to
break through the evacuation channel, while also sending a message to Xia
Jingtian, asking him to wait for him and not to run around. But he received
no reply.
Lu Shangjin relayed the message to Bi Ruijing, and PBB mobilized on a
large scale. The situation for any nearby high-level Omegas was extremely
dangerous.

”What should we do now?” Xia Pingtian pushed in a new magazine, and

crouched down against the wall with a vigilant back, glancing at the
emergency evacuation map on the wall. The buildings of the huge Anfia
Hospital, covering more than 3,000 acres, were all in view.

He could still sense Yan Yi’s weak pheromone signal, indicating that he had
not left towards the Pacific. He may have flown to a PBB branch, with the
nearest base located in Huaining City, which was mostly destroyed by a
super earthquake and subsequent tsunamis a year ago. It had been hit by
high mortality rate infectious diseases and large-scale species invasions, and
was ordered to be sealed off and destroyed. The ruined city was still under
reconstruction.

“You watch over the hospital’s gland freezer,” Lu Shangjin said, lightly
moving his right arm. Although his wound had healed mostly, he could still
feel the toxins spreading in his bones. The helicopter with the painted
Peregrine Falcon emblem was approaching the rooftop helipad. Assistant
Xiao Ning was wearing headphones in the pilot’s seat, and Lu Shangjin
grabbed onto the landing gear and climbed up onto the helicopter. The
helicopter immediately changed direction and left Anfia Hospital.

His phone kept ringing incessantly, with messages and calls coming in one
after another. Lu Shangjin glanced at it, leaned his head against the inner
wall, and his hair was blown up by the strong wind.

He reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out the crumpled note that Yan
Yi had written to him, promising that he would still love him when he was
twenty-seven. Perhaps Yan Yi no longer liked him as much, but that was not
important.

If he could bring Yan Yan and the child back safely, he could follow Yan
Yi’s wishes and watch their lives from afar in the future, whether Yan Yi
wanted to leave or met another alpha he loved. He could endure and accept
everything, no longer forcing Yan Yi to stay by his side, treating it as
punishment for the way he had hurt him before.

He let go and tossed the promise Yan Yi wrote into the wind, and kissed the
wedding ring on his ring finger hard.

The helicopter flew over the ruins of Huaining City and dropped a
crate of weapons and ammunition. On the ground, Lushang Jin, dressed in
black tactical gear, sat on the crate and landed slowly with his exceptional
vision. He estimated that the entrance to the PBB Huaining branch base was
located two kilometers away, beneath the cooling tower.

The base’s password-protected gate slowly opened, and staff responsible for
identity verification stopped Lushang Jin. They scrutinized the tall and stern
alpha, noting that he bore a striking resemblance to a commander. The staff
was momentarily unsure how to proceed.

“Excuse me, sir. If you don’t have identification, please stand here and scan
your face and fingers.”

A gunshot rang out, and the staff member collapsed onto a chair with a
burnt bullet hole in his forehead.

Lu shang Jin stood in place with only an MP433 in his hand. He turned and
fired in each direction, destroying all the monitors and eliminating the
gatekeepers.

A wanted poster appeared on the computer screen, displaying Lushang Jin’s

photo and surrounded by activated digital PBB special agents’ avatars, who
were deployed to intercept and eliminate invaders.

He smashed the display with a single shot, retrieved an identification card

from one of the corpses, and slowly walked into the main passage of the
base.

After passing through the main channel, one must pass through gait and
thermal detection. Lu Shangjin injected himself with a chameleon serum
left by Ye Wan and had one hour to disable the detectors and monitors.
As soon as he entered the main channel, the bulletproof doors at both ends
suddenly closed.

Lu Shangjin paused and his eyes were covered with a translucent blue
membrane unique to the peregrine falcon species as he scanned his
surroundings and the ceiling.

The eyes of an alpha peregrine falcon could see footprints moving on the
steel protective plate above his head, and the footprints stopped at one
point.

The emergency door above the main channel opened, and a blonde-haired,
blue-eyed alpha fell in front of Lu Shangjin and slowly stood up. His long,
blood-red forked tongue licked his silver lip stud, and his narrow, linear
pupils stared at Lu Shangjin with a smile as his fingers gently danced.

He was the Golden Python Alpha, an English PBB special agent with a
sequence number of 000017 and a level of M2.

The alpha gentleman bowed to Lu Shangjin, “Your wife is safe and sound
inside. After the guiding differentiation is complete, she will be sent back to
you unharmed.”

The words “guiding differentiation” were like a sharp knife that cut open Lu
Shangjin’s old wounds and poured salt on them. Even if he didn’t say
anything, he knew that it was a cruel shadow that could never be appeased
in Ye Wan’s heart.

His eyes were so dark that no waves could be seen in them. He slightly
pursed his lips and in the next moment, his left hand had already turned into
a fist and struck the lower abdomen of the Golden Python. Before the
opponent could retaliate, he swept his long leg, which brought a gust of
wind, and sent the Golden Python flying seven or eight meters away.

The Golden Python was also infuriated. It wiped a trace of blood from the
corner of its mouth, swiftly swam along the wall, and wrapped itself around
Lu Shangjin’s body like a hunting giant python, tightly coiling around its
prey’s neck with its powerful and firm body, until the prey choked and lost
the ability to resist, becoming the trophy it handed over.

With his neck bound, Lu Shangjin flipped over the wall and slammed the
Golden Python’s spine on the ground. He then fiercely elbowed the
python’s chest, aiming at its weak point, known as the seven-inch strike,
which was a common weakness for alpha snakes.

The fighting in the main channel awakened the channel clearing system,
and the cross-shaped strangle laser quickly swept over. Lu Shangjin
released the Golden Python, hooked his hands on the top of the channel,
and pressed his body tightly against the ceiling, narrowly dodging the
sniper rifle that the laser scraped across his back, shaving off a piece of the
rifle’s buttstock.

While the clearing laser had not yet returned, Lu Shangjin kicked the
Golden Python Alpha to the starting point of the laser and quickly climbed
up the emergency door on the top, catching the snake off guard and locking
it in with hydraulic pressure.

He brushed off the dust on his body and crawled into the laboratory inside
the main channel through the air vent.

In the main control room, Lu Lin sat in front of the control console,
supporting his chin and watching the channel surveillance images covered
in burnt and bloody stains. On the special agent dispatch log displayed on
the screen, the photo of the Golden Python Alpha turned gray with the word
“DEAD” shown below.

He turned his control chair around and saw Yan Yi sitting on the ground in
the transparent ball-shaped cage not far away, with soft cushions and a
thermostat thoughtfully placed on the ground next to him.

The baby’s cradle was placed outside the prison, a pink cradle that stood
out from the cold and terrifying control laboratory.

Yan Yi also saw the dimmed photograph on the agent dispatch record and
said lightly, “You should know your own son.”
“He’s excellent, and I’m pleased, but he should listen to me.” Lu Lin
washed his hands, leaned over the cradle, and gently touched Xiao Tu Bao’s
face. Every move of Lu Lin’s stirred Yan Yi’s heart. Yan Yi’s palms were
sweaty, not knowing what terrifying move Lu Lin would make next.

Fortunately, Lu Lin didn’t do anything to the baby, but asked about his
grandson’s name.

“Lu Yan, not bad.” He thought about this name quietly, and the meaning
seemed good, but Lu Lin could tell that it combined two surnames, which
didn’t satisfy him. He didn’t like mixing the parents’ surnames in a child’s
name, and a cloned omega’s name wasn’t worthy of letting Xiao Jin do so.

Little Lu Yan in the cradle suddenly cried without warning, making a loud
and piercing sound in the empty laboratory.

The little baby cried until his face turned red, coughing as he cried, and the
small rabbit ears, covered with a layer of thin fluff, trembled sadly, as if
trying to find his lost father in this place.

Yan Yi supported the glass ball-shaped prison with both hands, eager to
hold his child. No father could face such a pitiful baby and allow them to
suffer.

Lu Lin picked up the child to soothe him, releasing the calming pheromones
of tulips, but the child was not comforted and cried even more loudly.

Yan Yi said he was hungry.

Lu Lin raised an eyebrow and sent the child to the edge of the cage for Yan
Yi to feed him.

Yan Yi forced himself to stay calm and only managed to stop himself from
reacting by tightly squeezing his hands. The potential for the child’s
differentiation had not been tested yet, but at least Lu Lin had hope for the
child and wouldn’t do anything drastic.
He refused to feed the baby unless Lu Lin immediately withdrew all the
agents blocking the way of Lu Shangjin and released him.

Lu Lin sat by the cage, softly cooing to the crying baby, saying that his
precious grandson would get sick if he was hungry for too long, and look,
he was crying so pitifully.

Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, Lu Lin looked like a kind and

gentle grandfather, constantly trying to soften Yan Yi’s heart. Which omega
could bear to let their newborn baby go hungry?

Yan Yi bit his lip and licked the taste of blood to keep himself alert. He
turned around, pretending not to see.

Lu Lin’s kindly expression gradually disappeared, allowing several beta

guards outside the door to come in.

Yan Yi was forced into the rest area, his shirt ripped open, and his hands
and feet pressed against the bed. A beta held little Lu Yan and placed him
on Yan Yi’s chest, forcing him to nurse and fill up on today’s lunch.

Yan Yi turned his head in shame and anger, tightly closing his eyes and
thrashing his limbs wildly, but it was all in vain. His thin waist trembled,
like an exhibit, and all his privacy and dignity were trampled in the mud.

He was frightened, and his emotions were extremely unstable. Despite his
swollen chest, he couldn’t suckle any milk, and little Lu Yan was starving,
only knowing to suck forcefully. Yan Yi’s voice became hoarse from
struggling and screaming for him to stop.

Perhaps seeing the omega being bullied on the bed was pitiful, a few betas
let go of their grip and stood aside, watching Yan Yi feed little Lu Yan on
his own.

Yan Yi grabbed little Lu Yan’s swaddling clothes and held him tightly in his
arms, ignoring his torn and disheveled shirt. He knelt on the bed and kissed
little Lu Yan’s face repeatedly, choking with tears, reassuring him that alpha
daddy would come to rescue him.
“I’m sorry, baby… Daddy will be okay if he doesn’t ruin his gland. It’s my
fault, daddy’s fault…” Yan Yi trembled uncontrollably, hugging little Lu
Yan’s hand, afraid and curled up in the corner of the bed, constantly
stroking the child’s back and releasing soothing pheromones.

The more he released soothing pheromones, the more anxious he became,

and little Lu Yan could feel his anxiety, crying louder, tears streaming down
his eyelashes, crying until he choked and coughed, his small face turning
red.

“Don’t cry, baby…” Yan Yi held him despairingly, letting him suck on
himself. Even if it hurt and he couldn’t produce anything, he had no other
choice.

The numb and faint eyes of Ma Mu looked towards the glass window on the
door. He saw the little Alpha who brought him food with a small backpack,
and also saw him carrying a sniper rifle and rushing through the rain of
bullets. Suddenly, he couldn’t remember where he was, but he felt that the
person he wanted to see was outside that door.

He flipped over and landed on the ground. The muscle memory from years
of high-intensity training was still there, and his instinct as a killing
machine had not been eroded even without the support of a high-level gland
as energy.

The beta guard who was watching him did not expect that a weak omega
would resist. His action was slow for a moment, and in an instant, Yan Yi
locked his neck tightly from behind, and the two betas who rushed up were
kicked in the chin with the help of his legs.

At the same time, the beta who was locked by Yan Yi had his neck twisted
by him.

Yan Yi picked up the baby on the bed and kicked open the door of the rest
room to rush out.

The black muzzle was pressed against his forehead.

Lu Lin held the gun and gently tapped his forehead. She smiled gently and
said, “I underestimated you. None of the wives of our Lu family are easy to
deal with.”

Yan Yi held the child in his arms, gritted his teeth, and looked straight into
the Alpha’s eyes. His hoarse voice was almost bloody as he spoke.

“Irrespective of how many Omegas you kill, are you happy? What immoral
things did Uncle Wan do to deserve being tortured to death by you? ”

Yan Yi stepped forward with the barrel of Lu Lin’s gun against him, and the
little ball of flesh in his arms seemed to emit an energy that made the person
holding him brave.

“We are not anyone’s tools, nor are we willing to be your slaves. One day,
this world will no longer belong solely to Alphas, and all you livestock that
are being raised will die under this. ”

“You rely on your high level of dependence to bully and oppress Omegas. If
it weren’t for Uncle Wan’s mark, he wouldn’t have been dragged down by
you like this. Uncle Wan hates you, Jin Ge hates you, and I hate you too.
How can someone live as failed as you?”

With a loud bang, the bullet grazed Yan Yi’s clavicle, shattering the window
of the lounge. A trail of blood flowed down along the mark, causing Little
Lu Yan to cry uncontrollably once again until his throat was hoarse.

Lu Lin pressed the hot barrel of the gun against Yan Yi’s neck, backing the
Omega up against the wall. This audacious little rabbit would have been
destroyed and reproduced for just enticing his son, let alone meddling in his
and Ye Wan’s relationship, if it weren’t for his high level of energy and the
high-level offspring he had with Little Jin.

Sweat seeped out of the hand that gripped the gun, and the hot barrel almost
pierced Yan Yi’s neck, leaving a red mark on his skin. Yan Yi didn’t feel
any pain but instinctively held onto the child, becoming even more
intimidating.
Lu Lin went crazy and locked Yan Yi in a spherical glass cage, but Yan Yi
released all of his glandular energy and pheromones at the last moment. The
sweet fragrance of milk candy flowed out of the control room’s exhaust
pipe and was precisely captured by Lu Shang.

He looked up and coldly gazed through the surveillance camera in the

corner, his eyes full of anger almost piercing through the glass.

After scrutinizing for about ten seconds, he stepped on a severed hand on

the ground and silently walked towards the deep passage. The wrist of the
severed hand was branded with PBB000014.

Blood stains were faintly visible on his right shoulder, and occasional drops
of blood trickled down his fingertips. A trail of blood splatters followed
behind him, and dozens of corpses lay upside down along the passage.

Two more photos on the dispatch record on the console turned gray and
showed “DEAD” below. At the same time, the security system issued a
warning:

“WARNING! THE INVADER IS INVINCIBLE!”

 Chap 84

On the laptop screen were more than ten message boxes, but not a single
one received a reply. Tan Meng sat at the bar, sending his final plea for help
through email, anxiously grabbing his hair and slumping onto the table.

The meeting room was empty and quiet, with no sign of the omegas who
usually gathered there every day for tea and chat.

Cang Xiao’er sat on a single-person sofa, holding onto his backpack,

silently watching Tan Meng. Just as he was about to speak up, he saw Tan
Meng overturn his laptop and vent his frustration on the bar’s wine bottles,
shattering several bottles of aged red wine.

“How much has Yan Yi helped them? Do they really need to shrink back
one by one and only think about themselves at a critical moment?” Tan
Meng gritted his teeth with hatred. He had sent countless requests for help,
hoping to get assistance from high-ranking omegas. Yan Yi was trapped in
the PBB branch, and as far as he knew, only Lu Shangjin had gone to rescue
him alone.

The plea emails had disappeared without a trace, and the few replies he did
receive were all apologies. They had children and families and didn’t have
the courage to charge forward for an omega they had never even met,
despite having received Yan Yi’s help.

Tan Meng packed up his things and pulled Cang Xiaor out in a hurry. “Let’s
go. Lu Shangjin can’t handle it alone.”

Cang Xiao’er shrank back, tucking his tail and retreating to his single-
person sofa, looking at Tan Meng with a troubled expression.
Tan Meng stopped in his tracks and turned to stare at him. Cang Xiaor
shook his head, looking truly helpless.

He had suffered so much pain and torture in the PBB before he had a
chance to escape. Cang Xiao’er knew very well how massive the PBB was,
even if it was just a branch, the deployment of bioweapons and the
resurrection forces was not something they could resist alone.

“But you’re the only A3 here, we’re not.” Tan Meng grabbed Cang Xiaor’s
hand, peeled back his sleeve, revealing the blue sequence number
PBB000005 on his arm, staring wide-eyed at him.

Cao Xiao’er turned silently and removed his hand. With his eyes lowered,
he asked softly, “I don’t know him well. Are you close to him?”

“It doesn’t matter if we are close or not,” Tan Meng pursed his lips. “Today,
it was Yan Yi who was taken away. Tomorrow, more people will be caught.
If high-ranking omegas can only remain scattered like this, they will forever
be prey for alphas to fight over.”

He picked up his backpack and left. When he reached the door, he suddenly
stopped and told Cao Xiao’er that it was safe inside and if she didn’t want
to be hunted down, she should stay there.

Cao Xiao’er hesitated to speak, but Tan Meng had already left without
turning back.

As he took out his car keys, he saw Bi Ruijing leaning against his car door.

Tan Meng still held a grudge over the recent incident where the other man
came to provoke his wife, the original partner, and didn’t give him a good
face. “Are you here to persuade me to go home and take care of the kids?”

Bi Ruijing crushed the cigarette butt under his foot, still smoldering. “I fed
and clothed you all these years, and this is how you treat me?” The
ungrateful wretch turned on him in an instant and rejected him before he got
old.
“Who asked you to take care of me?” This old fool always thought he
couldn’t live without him. Tan Meng walked away, but Bi Ruijing caught
him by the waist with his vine-like fingers and pulled him back, holding
him in his arms and not allowing him to escape. Tan Meng struggled to
break free, holding onto the vines. He heard the alpha whisper in his ear
that the child had already been sent to his grandmother’s house for care.

Tan Meng was slightly stunned as Bi Ruijing raised his chin in a direction
where the helicopter was nearby.

The security system of the PBB Huaining branch has been mostly
destroyed, and the alarms throughout the base are constantly blaring. The
wanted notices are constantly updating with photos of Lu Shangjin hiding
in various corners, but there is still no announcement of his death.

Yan Yi sits silently with the baby in a glass cage, watching as the names of
the special agents dispatched to intercept Lu Shangjin are marked as
“DEAD” one by one, with only the last one remaining without a death
sentence.

Although he cannot see Lu Shangjin, Yan Yi’s anxiety is soothed by the

feeling that his alpha is approaching.

He inexplicably believes that Lu Shangjin will come, and as before, he is

used to waiting for a pair of hands to pull him out of the abyss. Yan Yi feels
a bit unsure, wondering what his current obsession with Lu Shangjin means,
now that his past infatuation can only be attributed to high-level
dependence.

Under the comfort of his omega, Little Lu Yan becomes quiet and
obediently snuggles up to his father.

Yan Yi reaches into his close-fitting pocket, touches the old wedding ring
that he has polished to a shine, and clutches it tightly in his hand. He puts it
on his ring finger, holding his breath, as if it were a slow and solemn ritual,
and at the same time a farewell to the past resentments.
The tightly furrowed brow finally relaxed, and he gently kissed the little
bunny’s cheek. The innocent child had come into the world without being
properly loved and now had to suffer the current calamity. But he believed
that Lu Yan was a little rabbit deeply loved by his two dads, and from the
moment he was born, he possessed the love that he himself had always
envied, having come out of hundreds and thousands of clones.

A trickle of blood seeped out of the wind vent in the corner a hundred
meters away. Lu Shangjin sat in the air duct, leaning his head against the
vertical wall with his eyes closed and panting.

He caught a faint scent of pheromones in the air that had just brushed past
him, but when he tried to discern it carefully, the pheromones had already
disappeared. Perhaps it was just his imagination, and Lu Shangjin didn’t
have the energy to pursue it.

Blood trickled down his sleeve, staining his right hand crimson. His
forearm rested lightly on his knee, and he listened to the alarm outside
buzzing and his name continuously being broadcasted in wanted notices.
His chest rose and fell with increasingly difficult breathing, using the few
minutes of rest to recover what little strength he had left.

He didn’t know if his babies were okay. They were probably scared or
waiting for him.

The wedding ring on his left ring finger was stained with blood, and the
dried bloodstains on his clothes couldn’t be rubbed off. Lu Shangjin took
off the ring, sighed, wiped it clean with his thumb, and put it back on his
finger with a barely noticeable smile, cherishing it.

The intercom of the patrol team could be heard nearby, and Lu Shangjin
climbed out of the wind vent and flipped into the stairwell of the laboratory
building.

The laboratory only installed a one-way hydraulic door that could be

pushed inward but not opened in reverse. Behind him, the patrol team was
scanning for intruders, so Lùshàng Jǐn had no choice but to push the door
and enter.
Inside the laboratory, there was no lighting, and after the hydraulic door
was locked, it was pitch-black.

Lu Shangjin bit his hand-held flashlight and searched for the exit when he
suddenly heard the sound of sharp claws rubbing against the ground.

He turned off the flashlight and scanned the gloomy darkness around him
with his eyes. His right eye was dimmed with a faint blue membrane due to
overuse, and his night vision was weakened, but he could still see some
outlines with difficulty.

Dozens of semi-mechanical dogs with transplanted human glands slowly

closed in, growling and hovering on the edge.

Lu Shangjin narrowed his eyes, pulled out a modified shotgun and loaded it
with a round, hooked his finger on the edge of the instrument cabinet, and
climbed up with his body. With one hand holding the gun, he pulled the
trigger, and the shotgun roared and sprayed, smashing the bulletproof
cultivation cover of the gland behind the semi-mechanical dog’s neck.

“After researching for so many years, what garbage did we produce?” He

threw a mocking look at the eye where the semi-mechanical dog was
installing the monitor.

Lu Shangjin endured the powerful recoil that shattered his wound. He

tightly clenched his teeth to endure the pain, no longer interested in
fighting. He jumped out of the encirclement using the height of the
instrument cabinet, broke the diffuser with one shot, and hooked onto the
steel ceiling to flip out.

After landing with his gun, a cold and sharp light struck towards him. Lud
Jinn dodged to the side. The opponent wore a black mask and a special
agent suit with a whole line of green bones embroidered on the back. He
wore a precision steel spike glove on his right hand and squinted at Lud
Jinn.

Australian Dragonfly Alpha, a rare insect gland-type PBB special agent,

sequence number 000008, level M2.
A list of PBB special agents’ names peeled out of Lud Ling’s confidant’s
neck chip. The Australian Dragonfly Alpha has an extremely fast attack
speed and cannot be hit by most firearms.

Lu Shangjin stared coldly at the opponent’s eyese, retracted the modified

shotgun behind his back, drew two curved knives from the thigh’s dagger
sheaths, turned them around and held them in his palms, and let two drops
of blood from his right hand drip onto the blade. They dripped to the ground
at the sharp tip of the knife.

He could already feel Yan Yi’s pheromones nearby. The pheromone’s scent
was weak and gradually disappearing.

“Wait for me.”

The alarm in the control room sounded again and again, repeating that the
intruders could not be defeated. More than 30 surveillance screens were all
covered in snow, with only one screen barely functioning. It showed the
cold and indifferent eyes of Lu Shang on land, like a pair of hunting eagle
eyes waiting eagerly for his own tamed beast to tear apart and devour the
opponent in the arena.

The dispatch log only had the photo of the last agent still lit up. Lu Lin
calmly leaned on the control chair, lightly tapping his fingertips on the
armrests, admiring a rebellious piece of art like a nobleman who had bet on
a fight and eagerly awaited his own fierce beast to kill and devour the other.

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded outside the control room. Lu Lin’s face
changed slightly. He picked up the gun on the console, pressed against the
wall, and quietly walked out with a team of people to check the situation.
No one except Xiaojin should be able to break in.

After the hydraulic door lock closed for five minutes, a slit slowly opened.

Yan Yi held the child tightly and backed away to the glass inner wall in
another direction, vigilantly staring at the opening slit.
Gu Wei squeezed through the opening, patted the dust off, and sat at the
control console, skillfully entering a line of authorization codes and
scanning his own fingerprints.

“Boss Gu?” Yan Yi widened her eyes, urgently tapping on the glass, “Boss,
let me out.”

Gu Wei first terminated the agent dispatch command, then closed all
surveillance monitors and screens, displayed the news that Lu Shang had
been killed, and finally connected to the control system of the Pacific
headquarters and sent a signal to the Huaining branch to stop issuing new
orders.

“He turned around and glanced at Yan Yi. The remote control for the glass
prison was in Lu Lin’s hand. If he forcibly activated it, it would certainly
alarm the owner of the remote control, rendering the little lion’s strategy
useless.

Yan Yi understood Gu Wei’s intentions and frowned, asking if Xia Xia was
outside and to take them away from this place.

Gu Wei leaned back in his control chair, turned to face Yan Yi, and rested
his hands on the armrests. His handsome face suddenly became serious,
making people uncomfortable.

He wasn’t here to save anyone, but to take back what belonged to his
family. The little lion was willing to follow him, and he didn’t mind. Saying
that he was using them was too harsh, but other than relying on the abilities
of Lu Shangjin and Xia Jingtian, these two people were the strongest alpha
he could find.

“I can only help you up to this point. I have other things to do and I have to
leave.” Approaching the door, Gu Wei looked through the glass at Yan Yi.
“There’s something I’ve been wanting to say for a long time. Self-
destruction of the glands is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. I don’t feel
sorry for you at all, you will only owe more and more.”

Living under someone else’s protection, feeling good about it?

“Stop talking.” Yan Yi slammed his fist against the glass, gritting his teeth
and staring at him. He wanted to retort but had nothing to say. He already
regretted it, and didn’t need anyone else to rub salt in the wound.”

Gu Weichao reached out to the door, preparing to leave. After taking a step,
he suddenly stopped in his tracks and smelled a strange odor. He slowly
stepped back, feeling as though a gigantic creature was blocking his way,
though he couldn’t see where it was.

Yan Yi watched him cautiously and subconsciously retreated to the farthest

corner while holding her sleeping baby. She leaned against the glass wall,
covering the baby’s eyes with her bunny ears, her heart pounding and her
breathing slowing down.

In that moment of hesitation, the hydraulic door to the control room slowly
opened, and Lu Lin led a team of security personnel into the room with
their guns pointed directly at Gu Wei. Without any hesitation, they pulled
the trigger.

Gu Wei dodged the bullet that flew past his shoulder and rolled over to the
control panel. The chaotic barrage of bullets left deep pits in the steel
protective panels. At the same time, the gigantic creature in front of him
suddenly revealed itself.

A six-meter long Komodo dragon had been hiding in the corner, suddenly
roaring and shaking the entire control room. Its powerful tail swept across
the room, shattering the glass prison that held Yan Yi captive. The Komodo
dragon became enraged by the chaotic gunfire, even biting and killing the
security personnel behind Lu Lin without distinguishing between friend or
foe. The control room was immediately filled with the pungent smell of
blood.

Yan Yi huddled with her child, staring at the giant lizard. The lizard’s neck
was covered with a gland cultivation cover. If its invisibility ability came
from the human glands in the cover, the only thing Yan Yi could think of
was Ye Wan’s chameleon A3.
Lu Shangjin stared at the lizard with fascination, and his gaze made Yan Yi
particularly panic-stricken. He held the baby tightly and fumbled for the
glass cell. His legs were shaking so hard that he sat down on the ground,
trembling and trying to back away.

“What are you afraid of?” Lu Lin’s self-esteem was suddenly offended by
Yan Yi’s fearful eyes. He pulled out a syringe and walked towards Yan Yi,
pressing him to the ground. He bit open the seal of the syringe and injected
a guided differentiation alpha serum into Yan Yi’s gland.

Yan Yi writhed in pain, convulsing all over and unable to resist. The only
thing he could do was to protect the baby tightly under his body.

The weight on his body suddenly lifted, and a fragrant narcissus pheromone
enveloped his whole body in an instant.

Trembling, Yan Yi opened his eyes and saw the cold and stern jaw of the
alpha. When he lowered his eyelids to look at himself, his eyes were
incredibly gentle.

Lu Shangjin pulled him into his arms, covered in dozens of bloody knife
wounds all over his body, but just like not feeling any pain, he kissed Yan
Yi’s forehead and protected him in the corner.

The giant lizard bit into his scapula and madly tore at Lu Shangjin’s flesh.

Yan Yi stared at him stiffly, seeing his alpha for the first time showing a
painful and unbearable expression. His neck turned red, and his beautiful
eyebrows and facial features twisted together ferociously, making people
feel heartbroken and hurt with him, and his heart almost broke into pieces
with pain.

Lu Shangjin suddenly saw the wedding ring re-worn on Omega’s unnamed

finger, and his dim eyes suddenly brightened.

Fresh blood flowed like water from Alpha’s shoulder blades to the ground.
He pressed his two treasures in front of him and painfully arched his back.
Two hard protrusions slowly emerged from his shoulder blades. The
protrusion on the right was gnawed by a giant lizard. Land Shangjin
groaned in pain and struggled to move his body.

A gentle snowflake fell on Yan Yi’s stunned face. He picked it up and found
that it was a feather.

The gland cells proliferated rapidly into bones and flesh. The wings of a
falcon extended from his backbones, and the wings with brown-black spots
instantly opened up, flipping over the tables and chairs and the debris on the
ground with a gust of wind.

A blue serial number appeared on the eyeball of Land Shangjin’s right eye:
PBB000001.

Lu Shangjin was stunned for more than ten seconds, suddenly raised his
hand to let the security team behind him put down their guns.

“It’s differentiating…” Yan Yi grabbed Lu Shangjin’s collar in surprise, but

was suddenly lifted up like a gust of wind, and carried out of the control
room.

The dragonfly alpha, who had previously intercepted Lu Shangjin,

supported his heavily injured thigh and suddenly rushed out to block their
escape. It launched its differentiation ability to try to intercept them, but
suddenly found that its gland had lost control. The differentiation ability
that had been launched was like sodium dropped into water, boiling for an
instant and then disappearing.

Peregrine Falcon A3’s differentiation ability “Strengthening Instantaneous

Membrane”: Instantly invalidates the differentiation ability of enemy targets
with lower levels than oneself, and instantly weakens the differentiation
ability of same-level opponents by 70%.

Little Lu Yan received the information scent soothing from Alpha Dad and
became quiet and obedient. Only after feeling secure did he finally relax his
wrinkled little face. Yan Yi held the baby in his arms and hugged Land
Shangjin’s neck, looking at him with tears like rain and burying his head in
his neck, asking him again and again if it hurt.
The blood on Lu Shangjin’s face faded, and he smiled with relief on his stiff
white lips, kissing Yan Yi’s neck.

“I scared you, I’m sorry.”

As Lu Shangjin passed through the passage, the edge of his wings left a
blood trail on the throat of the dragonfly alpha. Alpha’s pointed finger
scratched Lu Shangjin’s unnamed finger, and his wedding ring was ripped
off, making a series of crisp sounds as it hit the ground.

“Wait!” Yan Yi tried to break free from Alpha’s arms to pick up the ring,
but Lu Shangjin wiped away the tears from his face and comforted him
softly, “When our baby is one month old, I’ll accompany you to pick a new
one, choose the one you like.”

The code-locked door outside the base was suddenly slammed open, and a
falcon with a wingspan of six or seven meters flapped its wings and flew
towards the waiting helicopter on the horizon.

The setting sun approached the sea level, and a red circle hung on the
burning horizon.

Alpha’s right wing was bitten off, the bloody and bony stump was shocking
to behold. Every flap of his wings caused unbearable pain to his gland.

He carried Yan Yi onto the helicopter, grabbed the outer edge with both
hands, and tiredly rubbed Yan Yi’s cheek with his nose. The falcon,
returning home under the setting sun, tenderly cared for the eggs in its nest.

The PBB security personnel were like swarming termites, and the flying
bullets hitting the helicopter made a terrifying explosion.

Lu Shangjin spread his wings behind him, protecting the helicopter that was
fleeing at the fastest speed, and held Yan Yi’s cheek gently, whispering
softly.

A Magnum bullet sliced across the back of Lu Shangjin’s neck, and a large
amount of sweet and hot blood splashed onto his chest. The scent of
narcissus drifted uncontrollably.

Yan Yi’s blood seemed to suddenly solidify and couldn’t flow anymore in
her body. Little Lu Yan in her arms suddenly burst into a sharp cry.

Alpha’s wings withered away, and its flesh gradually disappeared from its
skeleton as gland cells died, and its feathers scattered into the sea.

Lushang Jin vigorously flapped his semi-bone, semi-feathered wings,

pushed against the outer wall of the helicopter, and sent Yan Yi far away
from the sniper range.

“Don’t eat too much cold stuff, and don’t let the hot porridge cool down
before eating it.”

“Baby’s bedding is still on the balcony, remember to bring it in. The one
with yellow bunnies you picked out is already spread out in the crib. Don’t
get impatient and angry if you can’t find it after searching around.”

“I always wanted to take you for a walk by the sea, I thought about it every
day, but I was always afraid that my plan wasn’t good enough, afraid that
the water was too cold, afraid that you would be bored, and it seemed like
no matter what activity I arranged, it wasn’t satisfying enough, so I kept
putting it off until now.”

“But today there is a sunset, and it’s by the sea, it’s not too bad, do you like
it?”

The lonely hawk fell, closed its eyes in reluctance, and was swallowed up
by the roaring sea.”

“Yan Yi went crazy, leaning over the edge of the helicopter and shouting
Alpha’s name. He tied his child to a folding board, fixed the screw on the
Gatling gun on the helicopter with one hand, and then jumped off the edge,
using the momentum to propel himself forward.

The J1 rabbit with droopy ears had the ability to “bounce rapidly.”

After a brief silence, a tall figure suddenly appeared on the beach.

The fragrance of the exploding narcissus filled the air and blended with the
rolling waves. Yan Yi couldn’t find his Alpha no matter how hard he
looked.

Each handful of seawater he scooped up in his hands was like his Jin Ge,
but none of them were. He could only hold onto the lingering breath of his
kiss on his fingertips.

Yan Yi dragged the Gatling gun with his right hand and slowly walked
towards the thousands of security personnel who had rushed out of the base.

His wet shirt was tightly attached to his chest, revealing the blue serial
number PBB000002 on his chest. His light grey eyes were filled with a
burning abyss, and the heavy gun muzzle left a deep groove on the pebble
beach. His figure disappeared a few times and then reappeared tens of
meters away.

The A3 rabbit with droopy ears had the ability to “teleport.””

 Chap 85

Yan Yi lifted his eyelids, his lifeless eyes empty and dim. The machine
gun’s firing barrel and chamber with a dragging belt spun rapidly, and the
ejected bullet casings burned a little red mark on his pale forearm, which
was rolled up.

The energy stored in the A3 gland is equivalent to enough electricity to

power an entire city if exchanged equally. Yan Yi no longer felt exhaustion
or pain and devoured all living organisms that approached him like a
walking dead.

The PBB Huaining branch system automatically judged Yan Yi as an

extremely destructive and dangerous entity when he approached. The entire
security team mobilized, and a dense formation of troops continuously
poured out of the base, concentrating their firepower on Yan Yi.

A stray bullet suddenly hit Yan Yi’s shoulder from behind, blood splattered,
and he stumbled forward two steps.

He threw the depleted Gatling gun, rolled sideways to several corpses,

picked up an armed belt from one of the bodies, and slung it tightly around
his waist.

Yan Yi ran with a pistol in his mouth, exchanging magazines with his right
hand and reaching behind his back with his left to pull out a bullet buried in
his body with force.

The heavy machine gun bullets burst towards him, Yan Yi somersaulted in
the air behind him, and caught four flying bullets between his fingers,
including the one stained with his own blood, and threw them back
together.
A row of heavy machine gunners fell off the high platform after being shot
in the throat.

The red laser sights began to move around his body, and Yan Yi held a
M500 in each hand as he faced off against the snipers on the high ground.
He teleported several times and leaped up the 80-meter cooling tower, firing
his revolver accurately at the snipers’ eyes.

None of the snipers could compare to Brother Jin’s skills, and their focused
expressions made Yan Yi impatient.

In the past, he had no fear on the battlefield, and no matter where he was, he
would not leave Land-based Jin’s line of sight. His alpha would always
protect him with every sniper bullet from an unseen location.

Now he still had no fear, only a sense of loneliness.

The base opened the underground gate, and 16 tanks simultaneously drove
up to the surface, targeting Yan Yi in the center of the battlefield.

The sound of the tracks on the ground entered Yan Yi’s ears, and dozens of
shells were fired at him. Yan Yi’s figure appeared among hundreds of PBB
soldiers, and the shells followed him to his landing spot. Suddenly, Yan Yi
disappeared and reappeared a hundred meters away, and the explosion wave
from where he had been knocked over dozens of people around him,
forming a small mushroom cloud.

The scorching air burned Yan Yi’s back, and a layer of blisters appeared on
his skin’s surface. He knelt on the ground, arching his back and enduring
the burning pain. The guns in his hands were out of bullets, so he struggled
to crawl to a burned corpse on the ground, where he pulled out two
Japanese swords covered in bloodstains.

Sixteen tanks and tens of thousands of PBB soldiers rushed toward Yan Yi,
ready to crush him.

Yan Yi used his long knife to prop himself up and struggled to sit up. His
blood-soaked shirt was torn to pieces, exposing his thin and pale shoulders.
He couldn’t remember how many bullets had hit him, but he felt a bit of
pain all over his body. There was a sticky lump in his throat that he couldn’t
swallow, and he lowered his head and vomited a pool of blood.

The setting sun fell below the horizon, leaving only a dark red glow that
outlined a circle of warm light around Yan Yi.

He looked back at the helicopter hovering on the edge of the sunset, and a
faint light reflected in his dim eyes. Suddenly awakened from a nightmare,
he realized that his baby was crying.

“Baby, if Daddy doesn’t come back to you, you must become a

compassionate and strong person, and protect the goodness in this world.”

Before he could get up, the stones on the ground suddenly started jumping,
as if there was an earthquake approaching.

In an instant, the shock wave arrived, and the ground shook like an erupting
volcano. Accompanied by a deafening roar, the powerful shock wave
exploded, sending thousands of security personnel flying ten meters away.

Yan Yi looked on in shock as Xia Jing Tian stood on a high platform and
lifted his right hand. The strong shock wave centered on him gradually
intensified, and his drooping eyelids looked like a king bowing his head,
looking down on all living beings.

The American lion M2’s ability to split and transform: “The Fury of Tremor
Explosion”.

As the sunset glow was about to fade, a patch of blue light suddenly burst
open in the dim clouds and a huge blue butterfly broke through the clouds,
slowly flapping its wings and sprinkling sparkling stardust, which fell
lightly onto the sea, shimmering in the waves.

Tan Meng flew close to the sea, quickly flapping his butterfly wings. The
gentle breeze formed a violent hurricane, immediately causing waves as
high as a thousand feet, and a tsunami covered the sky like a deep blue
giant mouth, roaring to devour everything.
The Venus Flash Butterfly J1 differentiated ability “Storm Effect”.

Before Yan Yi could even react, the tank that was about to crush him was
suddenly stabbed and overturned by the black spikes that pierced out of the
ground. The spikes, which looked like anti-tank cones, were pulsing faintly,
as if they had come to life.

At the same time, crazy black vines gushed out of the ground cracks, and
the poisonous spikes suddenly pierced the fleeing security personnel
without any warning. Massive vines twisted and grew out of control,
covering the sky and turning into a huge vine net full of poisonous spikes.

The helicopter outside the sea level was approaching rapidly, Bi Ruijing
hanging on the rope ladder, his five fingers growing into several meters
long curved vines, tightly coiling around the ladder.

The Arrow Poison Wood J1 differentiated ability “Poisonous Wood

Dagger”;

The Arrow Poison Wood M2 differentiated ability “Heavenly Thorns and

Earthly Pikes”.

Tan Meng landed on the thorny vines growing on Bi Ruijing’s fingertips,

slowly flapping his insect wings, waving at Yan Yi and looking at him
apologetically. This was all he could do.

The tank’s cannon targeted Yan Yi again, and Yan Yi dodged, but suddenly
a circular cave appeared under his feet, and he fell down without time to
react.

Falling for three or four meters, he was suddenly caught in a soft embrace.

Blue little ears held him and quickly turned and ran. The hard soil in front
of him automatically turned into a smooth passage without any obstacles.

Hamster A3 differentiation ability “Corrosion”: Can form cave passages on

inanimate materials, including but not limited to nuclei, radiation, energy
waves, water, and magma.
“I’m sorry, I’m really scared…” Blue little ears shook while holding onto
Yan Yi and running with his backpack on his back, his soft body tightly
against Yan Yi, nervously clutching his small tail.

He brought Yan Yi up to another hidden location, took out a hemostatic

sticker from his backpack and threw it to him. He opened his damaged
laptop and quickly typed on the keyboard, sending the location to all the
dialogue boxes that could receive replies.

The number of helicopters in the sky increased from two to four, and then
added another ten or so, and even more were rushing out of the clouds and
into the front line.

Airdropped supplies descended slowly, high-level omegas climbed down

the rope ladder, and dozens of flying-type high-level omegas landed on the
coast. The balance of power shifted, and the war was no longer a case of
being outnumbered, becoming a stalemate.

Blue little ears held back tears and spoke to each dialogue box with a voice
message, constantly choking out, “Thank you, thank you all…”

Yan Yi looked at him blankly and smiled faintly.

The bloody killings and piercing screams disturbed the silent behemoth, and
the giant lizard crawled out of the base gate, its heavy and powerful long
tail snapping steel pillars at the waist, tilting its head back and letting out a
long howl.

I apologize for any confusion, but it seems that the text you provided is
already in Chinese. I can provide a rough translation of the text for you:

“The eighteen M2 gland culture covers with exposed abdominal grafts, with
Yew Wan’s chameleon A3 as the leading gland and the eighteen M2 glands
as auxiliary energy supply.

Amidst the dust, the giant lizard disappeared from sight in an instant. After
a brief silence, its massive form reappeared on the coastline and fiercely
shook a low-flying helicopter in its jaws.
The omega sitting in the pilot’s seat was thrown out as the giant lizard
shook the helicopter wildly in its mouth. The omega’s thin wings were
flailing and broke, causing them to crash to the ground in pain.

Yew Wan’s chameleon A3, serial number 000003, was born for combat,
with three types of differentiation ability: J1’s “360-degree panoramic
observation,” M2’s “group invisibility,” and more than twenty second-order
glands to increase its energy support. Even if the opponent had an A3 level,
it would be difficult to compete with it.

Yan Yi struggled to get up, picked up the long knife on the ground to
support his body, and supported his shoulder. He walked step by step
towards the center of the battlefield and stood in front of all the omegas,
facing off against the giant lizard.

Cang Xiao stood beside him, with his tail clipped to his ear, also standing in
front of all the omegas. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing the serial number
PBB000005 on his arm and held a Thunder in both hands. Yan Yi supported
his slightly trembling hands and calmly instructed him to attack the gland
on the nape of the giant lizard’s neck.

The two jumped onto the back of the giant lizard. Yan Yi leaped down and
slashed his long knife. It struck the protective belt that was holding the
culture cover. The belt was tough, and his full force only left two shallow
notches.

Cang Xiao aimed at the culture cover on the nape of the neck and opened
fire. The BMG heavy machine gun bullet exploded on the cover, and after
the smoke dissipated, the specially made glass cover only had a scratch
left.”

The ancient dragon was enraged, roaring and tearing everything in front of
it to pieces. It bit off the barrel of a tank, flipped over dozens of tons of
tanks into the air, arched its back, and instantly shot out nine spikes coated
with venom, its crawling speed soaring as it combined with the enhanced
chameleon A3’s differentiation ability, the “Nine-stage Thrust”.
Cang Xiao’er was pinned to the ground, gasping for breath as she supported
her thigh, which was spattered with blood.

At this point, she stopped trembling. She removed the blood-stained

ammunition for her thunder and aimed six heavy machine guns at the gland
on the giant lizard’s neck.

Yan Yi pulled out the poison spike that was inserted into his own chest. The
giant lizard’s long tail immediately curled around and fiercely whipped him
in the abdomen, crushing the tiny drooping rabbit under its foot, and its
sharp claws engraved themselves on his spine, peeling away his flesh.

Familiar scars appeared on his body, and Yan Yi remembered the injury that
repeatedly recurred on Lu Shang’s right shoulder.

His ears were blocked, as if by a wall, and he couldn’t hear clearly. His
vision grew increasingly dim.

Tang Meng’s laptop was connected to the PBB permission call, and Lu
Lin’s voice echoed hoarsely in Yan Yi’s ear:

“Yan Yan, listen to me. Go find Xiao Jin and bring him back to me.”

“You don’t want him to die, do you? Bring him back, and I’ll save him.”

“Yan Yi stared fiercely with bloodshot eyes, hands grasping at the sand and
gravel on the ground, fingertips bleeding, as he squeezed out a bloodstained
curse from his throat.

On the other end of the audio call, there was chaotic water sounds, and the
distant voice of Gu Weileng could be heard, indifferent as he said, “Stop
looking for him. He can’t be saved. You might as well donate the dry cells
in your hand.”

Lu Lin roared in anger, then spoke softly to soothe Yan Yi. “Yan Yan, stop
it. Join my troops. This is our final destination. No one in this world can
stand against us.”
Yan Yi covered his mouth, a severe nausea clogging his chest, painfully
coughing up blood on the ground. Although he couldn’t see Lu Lin’s
expression, he could imagine how grotesque and disgusting that face looked
at this moment.

“Those J1, M2 glands are useless, and will be eliminated by natural law
sooner or later. The world belongs to us A3 humans standing at the top of
the pyramid.”

“You will gain admiration, fear, and power. The whole world will submit to
you, and all the suffering you have endured will be worth it.”

“Look at my Wan Wan. He’s so strong and beautiful.”

Yan Yi turned to look at the ferocious lizard, the glands on its neck jumping
helplessly and forcefully, spasming occasionally in a frightened manner.

He couldn’t help but close his eyes, the lizard’s screams filled with pain and
piercing his ears like a saw scraping against metal.

“We still have dry cells and somatic cells. With our current technology, we
can clone Xiaojin’s body and revive him. He has always been alive and
won’t die. He loves you. You should do something for him.”

Yan Yi couldn’t take it anymore, screaming in agony to make him shut up,
smashing his hands on the keyboard to cut off the call. He turned over and
teleported, retreating ten meters away, exhausted and kneeling on the
ground, the sharpness of his sword dulled, and Omega could no longer
stand up.

Jin ge cannot be replaced… this world… has gone mad.”

Yan Yi wiped the blood on his chest with his fingertips. The blood was
mixed with Jin Ge’s pheromones, and the scent of narcissus was soaked in
the blood. Yan Yi used his fingers to wipe from his left cheekbone to his
right cheekbone. In that moment, he seemed to be protected under the
gentle wings of a pair of alpha.
He lifted his long knife and leaped into the air, the cold light cutting
through the belly of the giant lizard. A seemingly endless amount of energy
flowed back into his glands, and his wounds rapidly healed as the broken
bones reconnected. The blisters on his back from the scorching heat began
to disappear, and the scars on his body began to fade.

S4 differentiation ability of the droopy-eared rabbit—

“Resurrection on the Brink of Death.”

The blunt blade chopped off the head with sheer force, cutting the gland in
half. A huge gaping wound opened up on the left side of the lizard’s belly,
extending to its throat. The stench of blood surged toward the sea.

The gland’s energy had grown exponentially, making it unbeatable by any

superhuman of level 4 in the world today.

The giant lizard screamed madly, shaking its head as Yan Yi teleported to
the high platform, flipping over and plunging two blunt knives into its eyes.

Several incoming calls popped up on the blood-splattered laptop desktop.

Cang Xiao’er struggled to climb over with the penetrating wound on his
thigh and answered the calls. Different languages from various countries
came out of the speakers.

“The president of the High-Level Omega Alliance France Branch, A3, has
led the attack on PBB Paris Branch.”

“The president of the High-Level Omega Alliance South America Branch,

A3, has led the attack on PBB Caribbean Branch.”

“The president of the High-Level Omega Alliance Antarctica Branch, A3,

has led the attack on PBB Antarctic Branch.”

New calls from around the world continued to come in, and Cang Xiao’er
replied intermittently:

“The president of the High-Level Omega Alliance, Droopy-Eared Rabbit

S4…has led the attack on PBB Huaining Branch in China.”
 Chap 86

Chapter 86

Yan Yi stood on the shore, dragging a notched long knife, and occasionally
a wave filled with fine shells would wash over his bare ankles, taking away
the blood and mud. Countless guns were aimed at him, but no one dared to
pull the trigger.

No one dared to challenge the unique S4 division. If he wanted to, he could

easily destroy this half-ruined city with a finger.

Yan Yi gave the order indifferently, and put down the gun.

Although the voice was soft, the hidden strength filled everyone’s ears with
a cold voice, and defeated the last line of defense in the hearts of the
security team members who were still trying to resist. At first, one person
put down the gun, and no one accused him, so more The people threw their
weapons and were confiscated by the high-level omegas.

A lion-patterned helicopter landed with a roar, and the pale-faced Doctor

Zhong led several emergency doctors to climb down the rope ladder in a
hurry to stop the bleeding and bandage the wounded. heart brother.

A few omegas flicking their huge and colorful fish tails climbed up to the
rock beside Yan Yi, and the leader gave Yan Yi a Walter sniper rifle with
both hands, looking at him regretfully.

Yan Yi gently sniffed the fishy sea breeze, and he could feel that the
lingering narcissus fragrance in the wind had completely disappeared, not
drifting to a farther place, but being silent from this world forever.
He put Lu Shangjin’s gun on his back, separated the crowd blocking the
way, and walked into the gate of the base under the watchful eyes of the
PBB soldiers flanking the road. The soldiers on both sides of the strait
retreated like a tide as Yan Yi approached slowly. At this moment, I have to
choose to surrender.

The tables and chairs in the control room were overturned and broken, and
the corpses were scattered all over the ground. Gu Wei disappeared, and Lu
Lin stood blankly in front of the out-of-control console, the calmness on his
face was broken by the distorted and crazy eyes.

A few hours ago, he kept issuing orders to stop the attack, but each order
was intercepted by the Pacific Headquarters, until the security team rushed
into the control room and reported that Lu Jin was seriously wounded and
fell into the sea. The fatal wound was on the gland, which could not be
detected To life activities in the sea area.

The sound of slow footsteps came from behind, Lu Lin was already
frightened, he touched the gun on the console, and pulled the trigger at Yan
Yi with his backhand.

Yan Yi suddenly raised the long knife, and the bullet head in front of him
was split in two and fell to his feet.

Lu Lin was stunned for a long time, looking at him with scarlet eyes, and
gradually changed from panic to greed: “You are divided? It seems to be
stronger than the A3 I have seen. It is worse than Wanwan…” Yan Yi raised
his left hand and held it

. Inside the culture hood, the glands of the chameleon A3 faded from blood
color and stopped beating, lying peacefully in the culture solution.

Lu Lin saw the gun on his back at a glance, and his eyes wandered between
Yan Yi’s hands and his back. Someone poured a basin of water with ice
cubes on his head, which made him a little stiff from the cold.

Holding a tube of Lu Shangjin’s stem cells tightly in his hand, he took two
pills while supporting his writhing and throbbing heart, and then barely
stood still while holding on to the console, and let out a sad laugh between
his teeth.

”I taught him the art of sniping, and I have high hopes for him, but so many
years have passed, and he has stagnated when he differentiated into M2. I
knew it. I used to be A3, Xiaojin will not be bad, you want to know Is my
little grandson’s differentiation potential?”

”He’s different from you.” Yan Yi looked at him coldly, not understanding
the use of such vain and stubborn obsessions, and his own children don’t
have to bear such deformed sustenance .

The disheveled and disheveled alpha snatched Ye Wan’s glands from Yan
Yi’s hand, put his cheek on the cracked glass cover, stared at the ground
obsessively, muttering that our little Jin is the most Promising.

Yan Yi didn’t want to argue about a fruitless topic, and let a few omegas
come in and take him away.

Lu Lin was taken in by the Pacific Headquarters Prison as a serious

criminal, waiting for the ruling of the international court, and it took a
longer time to obtain evidence. Yan Yi didn’t want to worry about these
trivial matters anymore, and went home alone with the child.

The leaves in the courtyard of the house are turning red, and a thick layer of
falling red has accumulated under the tree. The newly hired nanny is
sweeping the fallen leaves. Yan Yi is too busy to take care of the baby by
himself. In fact, he is not used to strangers coming and going at home. go.

A few days ago, Bi Ruijing called to talk about the result of sending people
to salvage, but he hesitated for a while and did not say anything useful. Yan
Yi already knew the result, and thanked him lightly.

There are fewer and fewer things in this house that smell of Lushangjin.
The study is locked, and the key is forgotten at the bottom of which drawer.

Tan Meng and the others came to see him occasionally, and everyone tacitly
stopped mentioning the person Yan Yi didn’t want to listen to, and only
called him Qiuqiu when they hugged and teased Lu Yan.

The fluff on the little bunny’s ears has grown, and the snow-white ears are
still shaking quietly when sleeping, maybe because he has not been
comforted by the alpha father, and he has been wrapped in the chaotic alpha
oppressive pheromone for too long when he was born. The jerk reaction is
too frequent, and I often fall asleep suddenly convulsing and convulsing,
waking myself up and screaming and crying.

Yan Yi got up from the bed, leaned over the crib and stretched his hands in.
The little rabbit hurriedly grabbed Dad’s hand and sucked the soothing
pheromone in the air hard. Omega’s father’s soothing pheromone is strong
and deep, and there is a gloomy force touching him to give him a sense of
security.

The little rabbit is extremely delicate, as long as Yan Yi hugs him, he will
cry like a harsh speaker turned up to the maximum volume, looking for his
father everywhere with his little ears trembling aggrievedly.

”Father is hugging him.” Yan Yi loved him the most, hugged Xiao Lu Yan
to comfort him, turned around from the bedroom a few times, the sleepiness
when he woke up disappeared, and stood in front of the French window
looking at the red clouds in the dawn sky.

Lu Yan turned over sadly, and pressed close to Yan Yi’s heart with tears in
his eyes. Yan Yi bowed his head and kissed his chubby face and ears,
humming a tune to lull him to sleep.

He carried little Lu Yan downstairs, sat on the sofa in the living room and
stared blankly for a while. There were a lot of things thrown away in the
house, and it looked a little empty.

Repeated news was broadcast on TV. Gu Wei, the new commander-in-chief

of the PBB, issued a peacekeeping statement at the joint meeting.
Originally, Yan Yi was supposed to represent the International Omega Anti-
Hunting Alliance to attend the meeting, but he was rejected by him on the
grounds that the child was too young to be away from others. Already, let
Tan Meng attend on his behalf.
I received a few short videos from Xiaoxia on WeChat. In the video, the
lion cub is wearing a camouflage combat uniform with a PBB badge on his
chest, smiling with his head tilted and showing two small fangs. Behind
him is a group of young elites who are also newly enlisted in the army , and
Xiao Xia called Yan Ge and senior to the camera together.

Yan Yi greeted Xiao Xia’s captain and took care of this little lion who likes
to make trouble and show off.

On the day of the summer solstice, Dr. Zhong came to the house to check
Yan Yi and Xiao Lu Yan’s health, and complained with a smile that Yan Yi
did not come to the hospital for a physical examination, so he could only
run a few times for exercise.

He wears a thin jadeite ring on his ring finger, made of glass violets. Yan Yi
saw this ring in a magazine’s jewelry topic. It was sold for more than 8
million Hong Kong dollars at a Hong Kong auction a few days ago. It was
sold by Hong Yexia The eldest son is in the bag.

When he lowered his head to pick up the stethoscope, a lion king emblem
was formed on the exposed glands of the back of the neck, and Yan Yi was
distracted looking at the mark while holding the child.

Dr. Zhong also realized what Yan Yi was looking at, covered his mouth and
cleared his throat, and couldn’t help laughing first.

After the establishment of the International Omega Anti-Hunting Alliance,

many alpha and beta scientists who are at the forefront of human thinking
participated in Dr. Zhong’s research. The head of the Hongye Xia family is
quite optimistic about the commercial prospects of the research. In the
research project of eliminating high-level dependence A large amount of
money has been invested in the Internet, and a breakthrough has been made
this summer, and the first batch of L-type barrier vaccines came out.

”Go out and walk more, it’s good for your health.” Dr. Zhong took off his
stethoscope and packed his suitcase. Little Lu Yan lay on Yan Yi’s lap with
his hairball tail pouted. He only had two small teeth but wanted to bite
everything. Dad’s hand was full of saliva.
Dr. Zhong was a little worried about Yan Yi’s situation. After returning
from the Huaining branch until now, Yan Yi has maintained a kind of
indifferent calm from the beginning to the end, and raised the baby to eight
months by himself. I mentioned to them the tiredness and troubles of taking
care of children.

Yan Yi looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows, it was time to go for a

walk.

Last winter, the park near my home was refurbished and replanted with
patches of Christmas roses. According to the old men who practiced in the
park, this flower is an improved variety. It has removed the toxicity and can
bloom all year round. It has a long-lasting and gentle fragrance.

Occasionally, Yan Yi would carry Lu Yan around the park, little Lu Yan
liked it very much, he pointed at the flowers and wanted to pick one, but
Yan Yi kept walking and took him to see his favorite scenery.

In the past, the artificial lake was full of narcissus, and when it bloomed, the
snow-white and golden stamens swayed in the wind. When he went, the
large area of ​narcissus had been eradicated by the workers, and new flower
seedlings were being planted in full swing.

Holding the child in one hand, Yan Yi grabbed a worker and asked the
reason, but he laughed and said that the daffodils were so fragrant that
people got a headache after smelling them too much. The grandpas and
aunts who were exercising in the park were not happy, and complained to
them to change the greenery.

So he went to that park less often.

Just as Dr. Zhong left, the nanny came back with a basket of fresh
vegetables and a bunch of dewy Christmas roses in her arms.

She was overjoyed when she saw Yan Yi, put the flower in Yan Yi’s arms,
and happily praised the flower for its beauty and fragrance. She asked the
artisan who planted the flower that the improved flower was non-toxic and
harmless, and could be used in pregnant women’s rooms. put.
Yan Yi’s face was not very good, and he asked the nanny to bring back a
bouquet of narcissus tomorrow.

The nanny was worried that Yan Yi didn’t know how to take care of
children: “Narcissus flowers can’t be put in children’s rooms. Those flowers
are poisonous and don’t smell good.” Yan Yi was stunned, and asked the
nanny to feed Lu Yan

some milk and fruit puree , I went upstairs by myself.

He shut himself in the bedroom, sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window,

lit a cigarette with his fingers on the fire, and lightly exhaled the smoke,
blocking the sea of ​flowers at the end of his sight.

Tears fell quietly, hitting the back of the hand, dripping onto the scar on the
ring finger where the tattoo was washed away.
 Chap 87

Chapter 87 Everyone

, including Tan Meng, thought that Yan Yi would break down. In this state,
he might no longer be suitable to be the president, and he might not even be
able to take care of his own children well.

But Yan Yiyuan is tougher than he looks, and has a good sense of propriety.
Xiao Luyan, like children of the same age, grew up safely and smoothly
despite the bad experience left at birth.

In everyone’s eyes, Yan Yi’s perfection is worthy of his level, he seems to

have everything.

In the past month, a group of gland hunters headed by the red-tailed hawk
A3 has been rampant and cruel. The high-level executives of the Federation
General Assembly held an emergency meeting on the recent disappearance
of omega. Nearly half of the high-level executives believed that it was
necessary to apply to the PBB for assistance from the armed forces.

Yan Yi picked up a stack of documents on the table, and leaned back on the
chair to browse the list of gland hunters. In addition to that A3alpha, there
are sixteen others including Israel Golden Scorpion M2, North American
Gray Wolf M2, and Whale Shark M2. The main members have been
classified as a DISASTER-level terrorist organization, and they have
recently moved to the country, with bad influence.

A terrorist organization with a large number of high-level alpha members is

somewhat difficult to deal with. After thinking about it for a long time, Yan
Yi agreed to apply for help from Gu Wei.
Gu Wei’s holographic image appeared in front of the conference table,
yawned with his chin resting on his cheek, and the military uniform with
epaulettes was loosely draped.

Yan Yi dusted the ashtray in his hand: “Send me one A3alpha with
whatever ability you want, four M2alphas, call for a giant horned
rhinoceros and a snow leopard, and send the remaining two. Don’t worry,
I’ll take them with you.” , won’t damage your hands.”

Gu Wei glanced at him up and down, Yan Yi had completely changed, with
a posture belonging to another person.

It was rare for the president of the alliance to open his mouth. Gu Wei
refused without reason, and sent the list of PBB agents to Yan Yi.
Originally, there was a Kestrel Alpha among the agents dispatched, but
when Gu did not approve the documents, he thought about it and had
someone replace it with another one.

The meeting didn’t end until two o’clock in the afternoon. He had been
hungry for too long and now he didn’t have any appetite. On the way back
to the lounge, Yan Yi’s body felt a little hot, and he ran out of cigarettes in
his pocket.

The bodyguard opened the door of the lounge for Yan Yi. Sitting on the sofa
was a merlin alpha, with a steady appearance of thirty-four or five, and
when he looked at Yan Yi, his eyes deliberately pretended to be stern and
strong.

As an assistant, being able to move freely in Yan Yi’s lounge is enough to

prove that his status is unusual. Mu Lan got up and put on her coat for Yan
Yi, and said in a low voice that she took Lu Yan home to play in the
afternoon, and that they could have dinner together in the evening.

Yan Yi’s face changed from dull to gloomy, and he raised his eyelids
slightly: “Who asked you to pick it up?”

Alpha paused, releasing soothing pheromone for Yan Yi. He felt that the
omega had just entered the irritability period, so he hugged Yan Yi
horizontally and put him on the sofa in the lounge, gently stroking his back
to appease his difficult boss.

At the level of Yan Yi, no inhibitor with a higher concentration is useless.

He also tried the concentrated inhibitor that Dr. Zhong prepared for him
alone, but the attack was too painful, and he often smashed things when he
was confused. was put on hold.

Because of this, Mu Lan was able to stay here.

He took out the medicine bottle in the drawer, cut several kinds of
medicinal medicine cutters into different categories, matched them into a
small pile according to the doctor’s instructions, and poured a glass of water
for Yan Yi together.

Yan Yi took a glance, took the medicine, and warned Mu Lan not to do
unnecessary things. Mu Lan had no choice but to nod, and promised to send
Lu Yan home after dinner.

He was a little worried about the president’s body, taking antidepressant

drugs for a long time, maybe the side effects would accumulate in the body,
but the president was unexpectedly arbitrary and domineering in this matter,
and did not allow others to comment.

”Do you want me to help you solve it?” Alpha lowered his head and kissed
Yan Yi’s ear, pretending not to see what Yan Yi was standing upright to
push up his pants, and his tone was restrained and forbearing.

Yan Yi leaned against his shoulder and stared at him with half-opened eyes.

”Sorry.” Mu Lan lowered her eyelids politely, quietly releasing soothing

pheromone for Yan Yi, letting him sleep on her lap for a while.

Yan Yi slept until four o’clock in the afternoon. The bodyguard said that
Xiao Xia came back from the army to see him. He was fine and went to see
him.
The little lion was a little more stable than two years ago, but he still
frowned in front of Yan Yi, pointing at Mu Lan and questioning him, why
would you rather be with this person than consider me? What’s wrong with
me?

Yan Yi stood in front of the desk leaning with folded arms, raised his chin
slightly to signal Mu Lan to go out first, and watched the little lion baring
its teeth and claws in front of it with a light smile. The shape is more well-
proportioned and beautiful, except that the love brain is still unchanged,
everything is not bad.

”I like older ones, okay?” Yan Yi laughed while holding a cigarette.

Xia Jingtian choked for a while: “That’s it?”

Yan Yi restrained his smile and nodded.

Next, we have to deploy this clean-up operation, Yan Yi made an

appointment with Xiao Xia to sit down and have a good talk, and finally
coaxed the little devil away.

When going back to the lounge to get his coat, Yan Yi suddenly stopped and
stared at the drawer where he kept his medicine for a while.

He looked around to confirm that there was nothing unusual, and opened
the drawer to check the contents. Several medicine bottles were neatly
stacked according to the original direction, and there was no abnormality.
Yan Yi picked up each medicine bottle and sniffed it, and it seemed that
there was no special smell.

Mu Lan came to lock the door and saw Yan Yi standing by the drawer in a
daze, thinking it was because he was in a trance during the estrus period, so
she came over and gently supported his shoulders to release the soothing
pheromone.

Yan Yi asked: “Have you moved the drawer since I left?”

Mu Lan frowned suspiciously, and said decently: “I will notify the security
department to search for suspicious people immediately.”

Yan Yi held the medicine bottle in his hand and remained silent for a long
time.

Two days later, Yan Yi received a notification that the PBB agents were
ready, but at the same time, he also received amazing feedback from the top
management of the alliance. In the early hours of last night, someone
attacked the temporary hideout of the terrorist organization, and the red-
tailed hawk A3 was seriously injured and disabled. According to the
intelligence Judging from the photos of the injuries provided by the
personnel, the other party intentionally left his mouth alive and did not give
the red-tailed hawk an additional fatal blow.

So after Yan Yi took people there, it was just a harvest of heads, without
any effort. The missing omega returned home, which greatly increased Yan
Yi’s prestige among the omega community, occupying the news headlines
for several days.

It was supposed to be a pleasant and relaxing event, but Yan Yi lost his
temper at the closing meeting, and first severely criticized the intelligence
and monitoring department for half an hour, even the holographic image of
Gu Wei sitting in front of the conference table was not spared. , was
knocked off the line.

”Go and find out who did it.” Yan Yi pressed the stinging temple and
pushed the document in front of him.

There were a few black-and-white surveillance screenshots printed on the

document, and a shoulder could be vaguely seen on the blurry black-and-
white image, but the man’s anti-detection ability was superb, leaving no
traces other than that.

The president’s mood was on the verge of rage for a whole day, no one
dared to hit the gun, even the most favored Mu Lan could only follow
behind him with a file, and quietly released soothing pheromone two steps
away to calm the boss’s emotions.
Until the bouncing little Lu Yan was brought over by the driver, trotted and
hugged Yan Yi’s lap, the articulation was still not clear, and the childish
voice shook the little rabbit’s ears and called Dad.

Yan Yi finally let go of his frowning eyebrows, hugged the little rabbit
under his armpits, and tidied up the soft rabbit fur that was blown around
his ears and tail. Picking up the jelly-like face and shaking it, the little
rabbit is as tender as a piece of panna cotta.

”Is baby doing well today?” Yan Yi hugged him and kissed him on the
cheek.

”Good!” Lu Yan touched Yan Yi’s face carefully, whispered “Daddy is not
happy”, pouted his rosy mouth and kissed Yan Yi’s cheek, shyly hugged
Yan Yi’s neck and giggled , the short bunny ears flicked back and forth
excitedly.

Yan Yi hugged him around for a long while, a rare smile appeared on his
face. Omega’s smile was so gentle and bright, Mu Lan was fascinated, and
for a moment forgot about the next itinerary.

Lu Yan fumbled in his pocket and took out a small velvet box. He opened it
with his little hands for a long time, and there was a ring inside. After Uncle
Mulan sent him home yesterday, this box was in his pocket. I don’t know if
it was a gift for his father.

Yan Yi was slightly startled, and looked up at Alpha who was standing
beside him pretending nothing happened.

Mu Lan gritted her teeth, took the ring from Lu Yan, and was about to kneel
down on one knee, but Yan Yi grabbed her forearm and couldn’t kneel
down.

Omega’s hands are slender and white but very powerful, even an alpha feels
pain when he clenches them.

Yan Yi raised his eyes and asked: “Not enough money?”

Mu Lan put away the ring helplessly: “You are too heartless.”

A group of patrolling security personnel walked by in the distance, and the

last one walked with the brim of his hat extremely low , the collar of the
uniform stood up to cover half of his face, quietly stopped and stared at this
side, tried to take a step a few times, but backed away restrainedly.

Yan Yi no longer accepted Mu Lan’s consolation, and took leave of absence

to spend the estrus at home. Fortunately, Lu Yan was accompanied by a
nanny, so he had a chance to catch his breath.

All kinds of medicine bottles were scattered on the bedside table, and a
used tube of concentrated inhibitors was casually thrown on the carpet. Yan
Yi swallowed a sleeping pill, closed his eyes tightly and forced himself to
fall asleep.

The concentrated inhibitor was too powerful, suppressing the estrus and
bringing unbearable pain at the same time. His whole body was trembling
slightly, his mind was in a daze, and he could only curl up and hide under
the bed as best he could.

When he was half asleep and half awake, his body was suddenly hugged
into his arms to warm him, and a pair of big hands anxiously stroked behind
his back, releasing a large amount of soothing pheromone to relieve his
pain.

There seemed to be a pair of warm wings protecting him, and the fluff of
the feathers softly cushioned Yan Yi’s body.

The body was surprisingly effectively calmed by this soothing pheromone,

Yan Yi hugged that alpha impatiently, sought his lips for him to kiss him,
pressed against his chest, his body trembled violently again, constantly
absorbing himself from him Extreme lack of security.

”My dear, it won’t hurt anymore, and it won’t hurt in a while.” Alpha
comforted in a hoarse voice, with a low tone, revealing a burst of heartache.
Yan Yi lowered his head and pillowed on his shoulder, and said vaguely,
I’m in so much pain.

In exchange for alpha’s more gentle kisses and touches, it was almost like
rubbing him into his bones and turning him into water, holding him in his
hands to coax him.

In the dream, I heard alpha babbling for a long time, calling him baby all
the time, and not allowing him to take those medicines anymore.
 Chap 88 - END

Chapter 88

Yan Yi’s shirt was pushed onto the butterfly bone, alpha pinched his thin
and thin waist with both hands, pressed his thumb tightly on the waist, slid
into the heel of the leg along a smooth arc, and held Yan Yi for him relaxed.

Alpha pressed his fiery chest against Yan Yi from behind, lowered his head
and kissed his drooping and congested rabbit ears, panting in a low and
hoarse voice, suppressing the long-lost throbbing, kissed Yan Yi from his
ears to his neck, staring at Yan Yi’s clean and smooth glands The canine
teeth were exposed, but he only hesitated to lick them lovingly.

The lower part of Yan Yi was held in the alpha’s hands, arched his back to
get closer to the alpha, and let out an uncontrollable moan from the cracks
in his lips.

“It’s too bad baby, if you say let you go, you really don’t wait for me, you
really don’t like me at all, don’t you?” He exerted some strength in his
hands as if punishing, Yan Yi raised his tail and trembled. Alpha is actually
gentle enough, but his innate dominance is hard to disguise in this situation.

Yan Yi tried hard to wake himself up, but because of the confusion during
the onset of concentrated inhibitors, his sight and hearing were disturbed,
and the alpha holding him behind his back was emitting courtship
pheromone. It quickly collapsed in a few seconds, his mind went blank, and
he only wanted his comfort.

“You already have an alpha you like, why are you still unhappy?” Alpha
asked in confusion, his strong arms took the slender waist of the person
below him into his arms, his little rabbit is so good and charming, no alpha
is worthy of it on him.

Yan Yi vaguely called out Mu Lan’s name, Alpha’s hand froze violently, the
temperature suddenly cooled down, and the palms were covered with sweat.

Yan Yi was tormented by the inhibitor, and his soft hands were desperately
pushing Alpha’s chest. How could Mu Lan pretend to be so like him, so
much so that even she expected to believe it.

He wouldn’t be selfish enough to use anyone as a substitute, but today he

made an exception, called a name in a delirious manner, and took the
initiative to wrap around Alpha’s neck.

When Yan Yi woke up, it was already three days later in the morning, with
a nutrient solution in his hands, his body was dry and relaxed, and he finally
passed the difficult estrus period.

He picked out a light gray suit from the closet, and then took out a tie with a
suitable pattern. When he tied the knot, his body suddenly froze, and his
mind remembered the trance shadow at night like an electric shock.

Yan Yi sniffed the remaining smell in the room in some confusion. The
wind passed through the window, even if there was any smell, it had already
dissipated. Moreover, the security system around the bedroom was dense,
and it was difficult to enter the second floor from the outside without
fingerprints.

Fortunately, it was just a dream, which shocked Yan Yi into a cold sweat,
thinking that he had broken his principles and bottom line.

Breakfast was placed on the dining table on time. Lu Yan sat at the table
wrapped in a bib, obediently eating pumpkin porridge with a small wooden
handle, while the nanny aunt sat beside her and fed some soft pastries.

Yan Yi sat down, took the cake from the auntie, fed it to the little rabbit bit
by bit, and put a few leaves of alfalfa into his bowl.
Lu Yan hadn’t seen his father for three days, so he dropped the spoon and
climbed onto Yan Yi’s lap, hugging him affectionately. The little rabbit is
very clingy, but also very good. Knowing that his father has been suffering
for three days, even though he misses him terribly, he will only pout and
hug him.

The nanny picked up Lu Yan’s graffiti on the paper in the morning, and
repeatedly praised the little baby for his talent in drawing. Look at the little
angel on the paper, how similar it is.

The crooked lines on the drawing paper are the trees in the courtyard. A
stick figure sits on the branch, and two triangles grow behind it.

Children’s creativity needs serious guidance and encouragement, Yan Yi

rubbed Lu Yan’s head with a light smile and asked what the painting was
about. He is focused and patient enough for everything about Lu Yan. The
child is already disturbed enough without the comfort of the alpha father.
He gives the child as much attention as possible, so that Lu Yan can see his
own love and strength, so as to make up for the lack of the other half of his
father’s love. .

Lu Yan shook his little feet, saying that the painting was of his father.

A string in his mind suddenly tightened, Yan Yi stared at the painting, and
the hand that went to get the soy milk almost knocked the glass over.

He hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast, and told Lu Yan to wait for
his father to get off work. He took the car keys and ran out of the garage
without waiting for the elevator.

While driving at high speed, I integrated the strange clues of these days in
my mind clearly, and arrived at the headquarters building at 7:30.

The head of the security department was giving a lecture at the entrance.
Sixty security members stood at attention with their hands behind their
backs and waited for the lecture.
Yan Yi didn’t directly drive the car in, he quickly turned off the engine and
got out of the car, lit a cigarette and leaned against the car door.

The security team members turned to the left neatly, nodded and said in
unison, “Hello, President.”

Yan Yi nodded lightly, his gaze wandering over every security team
member, pausing occasionally, with subtle consideration in his eyes. He
tilted his head and whispered a few words to the head of the security
department beside him, the head nodded repeatedly, and opened the door
for Yan Yi.

After Yan Yi’s car left, the security team resumed their formation and
continued training. Only an alpha in the back row turned his head
frequently, until Yan Yi disappeared from sight, and then turned back full of
interest.

Turning his head, he found that the minister was standing in front of him,
and he put a magnetic card in his hand, saying that the bodyguard next to
the president was injured and went home to recuperate, and he needed to
send a new person to temporarily fill the vacancy.

“I think you have a good resume, PBB retired special forces.” The minister
patted Alpha on the shoulder, gave him a meaningful smile, and said that he
has climbed a high branch and worked hard.

With a chill down Alpha’s spine, he took the magnetic card.

I went to report to the president first, but I didn’t expect that the scene of
entering the door would cause a cardiac arrest.

Yan Yi stood face to face with his assistant, applying medicine to the pinch
mark on his neck.

The president had never been so proactive and considerate. Mu Lan stood
tremblingly, not daring to move, raised her chin slightly, and Ren Yanyi
rubbed it as she wished.
Yan Yi glanced at the new bodyguard who came to report, and lightly told
Assistant Mu: “Be careful when you go out, otherwise you don’t know if
some people are mentally ill.” ”

Good president.” Mu Lan felt the bodyguard at the door The familiar
oppressive feeling exuded, the neck tightened suddenly, and the hand
holding Yan Yi’s side waist was withdrawn a few centimeters more
distantly.

Last night, he was blocked at the door of his house by an alpha with cold
eyebrows, who almost broke his neck. Although he later explained that he
had identified the wrong person, Mu Lan could still tell that he was coming
for him. It’s just that for some unknown reason, he couldn’t kill him.

Yan Yi’s peripheral vision stayed on the alpha bodyguard standing at the
door, alpha clenched his fists, and subconsciously stroked the calluses on
his fingertips. This is his usual action, a fixed habit before taking the sniper
rifle.

Alpha gently closed the door of the lounge, and the sound of footsteps
gradually faded away.

Yan Yi leaned against the table and was lost in thought. Mu Lan couldn’t
help but ask who the alpha who just left was, but Yan Yi handed him a
dispatch document. Assistant Mu’s work ability and attitude are top-notch,
and Cang Xiao’er just sent an email saying that he is short of manpower.

As soon as the document was handed out, Yan Yi stopped looking at the
expression on Mu Lan’s face, and felt relieved when he saw him sign.

It turns out that facing people who don’t care, I am just as bad. The little
lion couldn’t see this clearly, and Yiyi didn’t want to hurt him.

He was the only one left in the lounge. He picked a bottle of red wine from
the wine cabinet. After tasting it, he felt that it was not strong enough to
match his current mood, so he sent two bottles of brandy.
He was so drunk that he slumped on the sofa, loosened his tie, his shirt was
pulled up to his stomach, and his narrow waist was tightly bound by the
belt.

Yan Yi turned over, nearly rolled to the ground, was bent into his arms by a
pair of arms, and hugged him with one hand.

The alpha bodyguard lowered his head, picked up the empty wine bottle on
the ground and threw it into the trash can, clutching his thin waist in
frustration, gnashing his teeth and cursing in a low voice: “You want to piss
me off… don’t you, baby, you just want me to be tortured to death. Yan

Yi leaned against his shoulder, his eyes half-opened in a daze. It seems that
you can only see it when you are not awake, and he really misses it.

He grabbed Alpha’s neckline and opened his mouth to appease the

pheromone.

When alpha pets him, he can’t hold back the bottom line at all, and releases
it to him indefinitely. He can’t help observing the subtle expressions on Yan
Yi’s face, hoping that he will like it.

Yan Yi sniffed the scent, then pushed Alpha’s chest in disgust.

He wants narcissus, what is this sweet smell, like the bunch of flowers
brought back by the nanny, like vines growing unconsciously in the garden,
like roses all over the mountains in the park.

But he was defeated by this sweet fragrance and couldn’t extricate himself.
He was attracted and comforted. He hated himself for indulging in another
smell and falling for it. How high the fit would make an S4 level omega go
crazy and betrayed? The narcissus fragrance hidden in the deepest part of
my heart.

Alpha lost his temper after being pushed, slipped his hand into the
waistband of omega’s trousers, and stroked the helplessly wagging little
tail.
“I’m sorry.” I really want to know how you are doing. I can’t touch it from
a distance. When you are sad, you need alpha to hug and rub you. Why
can’t it be me? Is it as long as it is Lu Shangjin, you can dislike?

Yan Yi went to the bathroom and vomited twice, hugging a pot of daffodils
planted in the corner of the lounge, insisting on going to bed with it.

Alpha couldn’t laugh or cry, even coaxed and tricked the little rabbit into
the bathroom to wash it clean, wrapped it in a bath towel and carried it into
the back room, plugged in the hair dryer to dry the hair, and then stroked the
wet little tail to blow it into a fluffy ball. Comb, comb the entangled fluff
smoothly, and then spray a little anti-static softener.

He caressed Yan Yi’s soft hair, wanting to give him a long-lost reunion hug
when he woke up, silently typed up countless drafts, trying to explain
everything he had experienced in the past two years, but worried whether he
would get a kiss or a kiss. slap.

Forget it, the chance of being kicked over is higher. In fact, he didn’t dare,
he didn’t dare to take off the disguise in front of the omega, he wanted to
see him live happily, but he couldn’t see him being with others, what he
said to let go was all fucking bullshit.

Alpha bowed his body and kissed Yan Yi’s ear, a hard-to-serve darling, it’s
hard to like brother.

The wall clock on the wall points to 2 o’clock in the afternoon. During this
period, the temporary assistant knocked on the door to call Yan Yi once, but
Alpha pushed back the afternoon meeting on his own initiative. After all,
Alpha himself is a leader who can push anything when he is self-willed, and
he is very familiar with prevarication.

The temporary assistant sized up Alpha. He couldn’t see his face with a
mask covering his face, but he should be extremely handsome after
observing his facial features. The limbs wrapped in the anti-riot suit were
slender, and the proportions were just right. No wonder such things can
enter the chairman’s lounge.
Alpha sent the temporary assistant back to the back room, and saw Yan Yi
leaning on the edge of the bed to take the medicine from the drawer.

Yan Yi sat drowsily on the edge of the bed, poured several medicines into
his hands and counted them, and was about to put them in his mouth when
Alpha grabbed his wrist and took the antidepressants in his hand and put
them in his pocket inside.

Yan Yi glanced at him, and Alpha clutched the pills in his sweaty hands in
his pockets, and awkwardly showed him his mobile phone, which had
serious side effects of long-term use of antidepressants written on it.

Yan Yi smiled sleepily, and said lazily: “What are you?”

Alpha was silent, put away his phone, wanted to touch Yan Yi’s cheek,
wanted to ask him if he was tired or uncomfortable.

The temporary assistant knocked on the door suddenly and came in, holding
an urgent document in his hand.

Yan Yi took the document and glanced at it, his spirits lifted suddenly, his
face turned pale, he took the car keys and rushed out.

Alpha was startled, hurried down the stairs to follow Yan Yi, and got into
the co-pilot before Yan Yi started the car.

The intelligence department sent a message that the terrorist organization

that was suppressed before had left a few fugitives lurking outside. After
the lair was taken away, they were desperate. They might carry out extreme
revenge and create terrorist incidents. According to the monitoring, the
primary target was near Yan Yi’s home.

After going through a few red lights along the way, Yan Yi’s expression was
as calm as usual, but the frequency of honking the horn became more and
more frequent. He threw the lighter to the passenger passenger, and Alpha
tactfully lit a cigarette for Yan Yi.
“My son is still at home.” Yan Yi didn’t look sideways, raised the speed of
the car to the highest speed without showing any fuss, and said softly, “If
anything happens to him, get the hell out of here.” Alpha turned around and
sat upright, familiar with the

road He took out a silver suitcase from under the passenger seat, stuffed two
Desert Eagles and a handful of bullets into the dense foam, and sighed in a
deep and familiar voice.

“I won’t let you have an accident.”

The speeding Bentley flicked to a sudden stop, Yan Yi picked up one of

them and flipped out of the car, Alpha took the other. There seemed to be a
magnet between the two of them, and their backs were leaning together
unconsciously, tacitly watching the troubles behind each other for the other.

When parting, a meeting of eyes is enough to surpass words, and the

intention of the other party is instantly understood. Yan Yi has to go find the
child first, and Alpha will accompany him as guards.

The surroundings are quiet, and each other can hear the rapid heartbeat.

Hearing a deafening explosion, a car ten meters away suddenly caught fire
and exploded. The harsh and chaotic car alarms around him disturbed Yan
Yi’s hearing, and the armed terrorists pouring out from all directions
pointed their guns at Yan Yi , fired without hesitation.

Yan Yi’s figure disappeared several times, teleported several meters away
and reappeared, holding the Desert Eagle in both hands, the heavy gun body
rotated smoothly, no one could approach him within a radius of ten meters.

At the same time, Alpha overturned several cars, hugged little Lu Yan who
was trembling behind the garden tree, released soothing pheromones to
relieve the little baby’s fear, stuffed the little soft body into his anti-riot suit,
and held The guard was on Lu Yan’s head, covering his eyes and small ears,
while his right hand focused on shooting, every bullet deftly brushed past
Yan Yi, driving away all the dangers approaching him one by one.
The PBB garrison troops notified in advance drove around the entire
community, sirens blared, and Xia Jingtian, wearing a PBB badge on his
chest, led three groups of anti-explosion teams to surround all suspicious
persons, sternly and repeatedly warned through the communication
speakers, and then issued an order to kill the target.

Yan Yi was still standing in a daze, all the guesses and temptations became
reality at this moment, and a warm current flowed into his heart to fill up
the small cracks.

Alpha looked down at him, his rough thumb rubbed away the blood
splattered on Yan Yi’s cheek bit by bit, as gently as if wiping the fragile
eggshell porcelain.

Lu Yan jumped out of Alpha’s chest in fear and threw himself into Yan Yi’s
arms, hugging his neck tightly, begging for father’s soothing pheromone
while belching.

Yan Yi hugged him, regained his senses in a daze, and lowered his head to
comfort the frightened baby.

There was a sudden warmth on the back, and Alpha’s arms were as strong
and powerful as ever, holding him and the child in his arms, wrapped in rich
soothing pheromones, almost isolating the world, leaving only a light sweet
scent of Christmas roses around him.

At the same time, the oppressive pheromone belonging to alpha was also
leaked. Once the A3-level oppressive pheromone is released, it is difficult
to recover. Several low-level explosion-proof team members covered their
painful chests and immediately pointed their guns at him.

He was indifferent to everything around him, noticing that the two little
rabbits in his arms had gradually stabilized, he reluctantly let go of his
arms, looked at Yan Yi nervously, and waited for his verdict.

Yan Yi’s pupils trembled, and he silently stared into Alpha’s eyes for a long
time, waiting for him to say something. After looking at each other silently
for two minutes, Yan Yi gritted his teeth bitterly, turned around and left.
Alpha stood where he was, with his hands hanging down in frustration.

The little Lu Yan in his arms stretched out his small hand towards Alpha,
with round teardrops still hanging on his long eyelashes, and he muttered in
a milky voice: “…Wait, Dad.

Yan Yi covered the baby’s eyes, and hastened to leave Footsteps, but the
nose is sore uncontrollably. There was a sudden stop under his feet, and he
suddenly threw off his steps and turned back.

Holding the child in one hand, he tore off Lu Shangjin’s mask, pulled his
collar to make him lower his head in front of him, and stared at him angrily
with his beautiful eyes: “You still know how to come back?” The wrought
iron

flower

stand in the courtyard collapsed at the foot On the side, the growing vines
fell to the ground, and the sirens buzzing around were accompanied by the
notifications of the targets being killed one after another on the
communication speakers. Lu Shangjin could not hear anything from the
outside world, and only the little rabbit staring at him with red eyes , the
sound of “Brother Jin” echoed through thousands of thoughts.

 Chap 89

Chapter 89 Fanwaiyi What can I do if I go back in time

? I have experienced a war on the rocky beach. The blood stains were
washed away by the turbulent waves. Waited for two hours.

After a while, Gu Wei rolled up his trousers and went to the bottom of the
rock to pick up a person. In addition to the useless J1 differentiation ability,
Husky Alpha also has another useless accompanying ability “search”.

His mercy was limited, it was only enough for him to use it, leaving Lu
Shangjin with a dead body.

Alpha’s whole body was soaked in sea water, and the glands on the back of
his neck were completely destroyed by the powerful Magnum bullet.

When leading him ashore, Lu Shangjin’s bloodless lips were still trembling
slightly, weakly calling Yanyan’s name. With this injury, no one could see a
way out, but he kept holding his breath.

Gu Weijing’s eyes suddenly became turbulent, the ring hanging around his
neck tapped his chest lightly, and the thin chains made a soft ring when they
collided, as if calling his name faintly.

Perhaps the powerful alpha is always the same, and the shadow of Gu Wen
can be seen in him.

Gu Wei sneered lightly, and stubbornly compared in his heart, if Gu Wen

was still there, in what round would Lu Shangjin be the hero.

Before Lu Lin was taken away, he left Lu Shangjin’s glandular stem cells in
the control room, and Gu Wei returned to the PBB Pacific headquarters
with the frozen stem cells and the half-dead Lu Lu Jin.

The world’s top gland experts received a confidential order from PBB and
rushed to the rescue. However, Alpha’s glands were completely destroyed,
and his injuries were also extremely serious. His life was in danger.

In desperation, Gu Wei sent a confidential request to Anfeiya Hospital as a

commander.

Dr. Zhong signed a confidentiality agreement and brought a frozen baby

corpse to Pacific Headquarters, saying that it was Lu Shangjin’s brother,
who had been tested for various indicators when he came. rose.

Lu Shangjin complained that Ye Wan didn’t love her, she left so resolutely,
and didn’t want to leave anything for herself. In fact, Ye Wan left a second
life and gave it to his favorite son.

The operation went very smoothly, but Lu Shangjin suffered several times
of rejection and lost more than a dozen catties. He tossed and turned in the
ward day and night and screamed in pain. Shut his mouth.

Occasionally, Lu Shangjin calmed down and was in a daze, with iron chains
tied round and round around his body, with red eyes missing an omega that
he couldn’t remember at all.

Alpha has also degenerated into infancy, it is difficult for a child to bear the
excruciating pain, and it really annoys the people around him, so Gu Wei
gestured in front of him with a needle: “If you don’t want to bear it,
euthanize?” Lu

Shangjin Shaking his head, he silently missed omega’s gentle comfort,

wanted to see him, wanted omega to touch his head, and he was still
waiting for him to go home.

It took a full year and a half to recover before the glands grew to their
proper size, but there was no sign of differentiation.
When Gu Wei and Yan Yi had a remote meeting, Lu Shangjin stood in the
blind corner of the camera silently watching Yan Yi’s holographic
projection on the sofa, and quietly took his hand.

Whenever Gu Wei couldn’t see it, and planned to tell Yan Yi directly, Lu
Shangjin always leaned on the sofa helplessly, raised his head and smiled
wryly.

It’s hard to go from extravagance to frugality, and a top alpha is completely

remade into waste, which is too cruel for anyone. He couldn’t protect his
wife and children, and he didn’t even have the face to stand with them.

Such an alpha, even if they return to Yan Yi, they will feel ashamed because
of it.

He made a phone call to his family, and it was also a sudden idea that he
really wanted to hear Yan Yi’s voice.

But it wasn’t picked up by Yan Yi, nor was it picked up by the nanny.

There is only a little milk voice humming to the receiver, happily muttering
“Dad”, “Dad” to herself.

Alpha’s eyes were blurred at that time, and he repeatedly agreed on the
other side of the phone, coaxing Xiao Luyan that Dad misses you so much.

The little milk voice over there hums and chirps, “Missing you”.

Lu Shangjin covered his eyes and leaned against the wall, choked up and
said, “Dad will be home soon, wait for Dad to be okay.”

After hanging up the phone, he did not fulfill his promise, but entered the
differentiation guidance room.

Gu Wei sneered at this, in his eyes everything that Lu Shangjin was worried
about was nothing more than vanity, it was not easy for the family to stay
together, who cared about what was there or not.
He was afraid that Lu Shangjin would die in it, so he came to see it every
morning, and counted how many cc of blood were added to the floor tiles in
the differentiation guidance room every morning, and how many bones
were broken by the alpha inside.

Lu Shangjin’s third-level differentiation was catalyzed by himself. I don’t

know what to use as a belief to survive the cruel division and guidance for
half a year. When Alpha came out dragging a pair of messy wings, his body
was covered in bruises.

Before he left, he left a chip for Gu Wei, which recorded the secrets of Lu
Lin’s manipulation of PBB for these years, as a reward for Gu Wei for the
past two years.

Gu Weizheng is writing a new song with his guitar in his arms.

In fact, he has always done more than he said, and it is not Lu Shangjin who
should reward him the most.

For example, remove the narcissus around Yan Yi’s house and replace them
with Christmas roses, drag Lu Shangjin out every time he falls in the
differentiation guide room, for example, walk away from Yan Yi’s rest
room with a piece covered in toffee. The pheromone clothes were casually
thrown to Alpha who was silently looking forward to it.

He knew that when he couldn’t make it through the world, the acceptance
from his relatives was the rope that pulled him back from the edge of the
cliff.

Lu Shangjin is gone, and there is a violent and stuffy oil bottle missing in
the deserted home, and he doesn’t seem very lonely, but there is only one
set of cutlery left on the dinner table, and there is one less person who can
taunt when eating.

Gu Wei took out a video tape from several years ago, and kept it as a
treasure, and took it out to look at it from time to time. Sometimes it is
really lonely to be alone, and it is good to hear the voices of family
members.
The videotape is old and shows intermittently.

The kind face of a middle-aged alpha appeared on the screen, and Gu

Yuanzhi put his hands on the table, sitting confidently and calmly.

”By the time you see this video tape, Dad may have passed away or is about
to die, but don’t be surprised, and don’t be sad.” … ”

PBB

will be handed over to you two, don’t let Dad down.”

”Gu Wen , Gu Wei.”

”You are my father’s pride.”

The video stopped abruptly, staying at the last second.

Gu Wei stared at the screen for a long time, put on his military uniform and
the epaulettes of the PBB supreme commander, put the guitar engraved with
the letters GW into the piano case, and locked it.
 Chap 90

Chapter 90 Fanwai 2 Looking for what you didn’t say but wanted

The cold wind in the northern night scraped the bare/exposed skin, and got
into the bone crevice, stinging like being bitten.

Lu Shangjin was only wrapped in a thin shirt, and wandered around the
corner next to the Union Building for a long time, with his hands in his
trouser pockets, tightly clutching the old wedding ring. That day, despite the
obstruction of the engineering team, he rummaged through the ruins for a
whole day, and pulled out the ring from the broken steel bars. After
squatting on the beach, scrubbing it clean, he kept it solemnly in his pocket
close to his heart.

As soon as he recovered to A3, he only had one thought in his mind, that he
wanted to return to Yan Yi immediately. Even if she was punched and
kicked, she just wanted to hug him immediately, hold him tightly and never
let go, kiss him and love him with a stern face.

Blood stains mixed with tense cold sweat soaked through the fabric of the
back, he was so embarrassing, he should go back and clean himself up first,
at least cover up the wounds all over his body, but he really wanted to see
him.

He stole a security uniform and ID card, and wanted to quietly see how Yan
Yi was doing now.

There was no one in the Omega’s lounge, and the only open drawer
contained two rows of medicine bottles.

Footsteps sounded in the lounge. Lu Shangjin wanted to ask him directly

with a medicine bottle, but saw a Merlin alpha following Yan Yi, and heard
Yan Yi call him Mu Lan.

The alpha looked at Yan Yi with focused and considerate eyes, but in fact
Lu Shangjin couldn’t notice it, he only saw Yan Yi wearing his coat.

In this season, it was indeed cold at night, and he searched all over his body
but couldn’t find a warm thing for omega to wear on his body.

He stared closely at Yan Yi’s eyes from a distance, as long as there was
even a little bit of reluctance in those eyes, he would immediately rush
forward to grab Yan Yi into his arms, and use A3 to suppress the
pheromone to forcefully expel all the alphas around him .

Lu Shangjin looked forward to it, but Ke Yanyi remained indifferent from

beginning to end, neither pandering nor resisting, talking to Alpha with a
flat voice as usual, taking a bunch of pills he didn’t recognize.

At that time, his mind was blank, he would just stare blankly at Yan Yi from
a distance, thinking inexplicably that maybe he would let Lu Yan call that
alpha father.

Lu Shangjin watched Yan Yi fall asleep on that alpha’s lap in the corner,
and his body, which had just been warmed by the air conditioner, shivered
again. The clenched palms were unconsciously released, and the wedding
ring fell into the pocket.

He stood in the dark all the time, and when Yan Yi woke up and left, he
hurried to the medicine drawer and looked anxiously, inputting the names
of these medicines that he had never seen before into the search box one by
one, and the medicines that he could find had the same effect. The –
antidepressant.

The whole heart suddenly felt as heavy as a lead weight.

He went to check Yan Yi’s daily work, and found out from the slight clues
that Yan Yi would lead a team to wipe out terrorist/terrorist/organizations.
Lu Shangjin’s anger and resentment were all poured out on the leader of the
A3 red-tailed buzzard, who came to the door to provoke him, and punched
the red-tailed hawk’s seven ribs to the bone. Hearing the alpha’s stern roar,
he couldn’t feel the pain in his heart. defuse.

Later, he couldn’t help blocking Mu Lan at the door, but he couldn’t move
him, after all, maybe he was the one Yan Yi tacitly agreed to be by his side.

From that day on, he lost the courage to face it, and only dared to approach
their lives in the dark.

When Yan Yi was not around, he sat on a tree branch in the courtyard,
looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked at little Lu Yan
who was wearing diapers and building blocks inside. Occasionally, he can
be distracted, and always wants to reach out and touch his little ears, and
hug his obedient little rabbit from the air.

Lu Yan saw him, crawled over to hold the glass, opened his mouth and
gnawed out a piece of saliva on the glass seriously. Ever since a child was
added to the family, the floor-to-ceiling windows were locked, for fear that
the child would crawl out of danger.

Lu Shangjin flipped up to the balcony and sat on the ground, his rough
fingertips met the little rabbit’s white and tender little fingers through the
glass, and taught him to call him Dad.

“Alpha father is only me, remember? Don’t call him the wrong person.”

The little rabbit blinked his big eyes and looked at him in confusion, then
opened his mouth curiously, showing a row of small teeth, and giggled.

“What are you laughing at, call me Dad.”

The little rabbit was so amused by the guy outside the window that he
gnawed on the glass even more vigorously, his soft face like glutinous rice
balls squeezed into a flat lump on the glass window.

“dad.”
He had only learned to speak not long ago, and he was muttering about his
father, and he didn’t know what to tell his silly father.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Shangjin kissed the little rabbit’s
forehead through the glass, and replied in a low voice, Dad loves you too.

Lu Shangjin turned over, bumped her head against the corner of the bed, sat
up covering her head, subconsciously hugged the omega beside her, and
then woke up from the dream, remembering that she was kicked and fell
asleep on the ground last night.

Looking back carefully while sleepy, the scene of yesterday was vivid in his
mind, Yan Yi tore off his hood with staring eyes, and asked him through
gritted teeth, “Do you still know how to come back?”.

Yan Yi curled up on his side on the bed, and when he fell asleep, his hands
were still hooked on the fence of Lu Yan’s small bed. Last night, I lost my
temper a lot with the help of alcohol, and finally managed to coax me to
sleep.

Lu Yan woke up, his long eyelashes still twitched, and saw his father’s hand
stretched out in the crib, so he crawled over to eat with his little tail pouted,
revealing two small teeth like glutinous rice.

Lu Shangjin didn’t stop him, but frowned worriedly. The two-year-old baby
should have passed the lip stage where he is used to putting everything in
his mouth to taste, but Lu Yan still hasn’t left.

He bowed down and picked up the little rabbit and put it on his forearm,
and Lu Yan hugged his neck softly. The clingy little rabbit seems a little
uneasy, likes to be hugged, and keeps touching the glands on the back of Lu
Shangjin’s neck, wanting to pick it up and put it in his mouth.

He suddenly understood, carried Lu Yan to the balcony, gently closed the

glass door, and slowly released the soothing pheromone to him.

The little rabbit’s ears were turned up, and Lu Yan lay quietly in Lu
Shangjin’s arms, his soft nails gently grasping Alpha’s skirt, and he no
longer put his little hand in his mouth to relieve his anxiety.

Lu Shangjin knew that Yan Yi must do his best to love the baby, but in any
case, it could not make up for the half of alpha’s love and protection, not to
mention that Yan Yi’s mental state was really not good, and the soothing
pheromone released to Lu Yan every time No matter how high the dose is, it
will eventually be mixed with vague anxiety.

“Baby, I promise you that Dad will stay with you well in the future.” He
stretched out his finger and met Lu Yan’s delicate little finger.

“Yeah!” Lu Yan smiled shyly, showing his small teeth, and grabbed Lu
Shangjin’s hand to ask his father to touch his little ears.

It’s so sweet that Lu Lu Jin’s heart will melt to the point where it can be
squeezed into shape, and I’m afraid it will hurt the little angel in my arms.
The little angel’s glands are only a little bit big, but they can already smell
the pheromones and honey. His sweetness, as sweet as his words, made him
look like a stupid bear holding a big honey pot.

Lu Yan opened his big round eyes and asked Lu Shangjin, “Dad likes
Qiuqiu, or does he still like Dad?”

Lu Shangjin smiled helplessly and teased him that he liked Tuqiuqiu.

Lu Yan pouted aggrievedly, covered Lu Shangjin’s mouth, and carefully

told him not to let his father hear him, and not to say that he liked Qiuqiu
more in front of his father.

The baby’s innocence and sensibility made Lu Shangjin feel even more
uncomfortable. Even such a young child is pampering Yan Yi. He must
have worked hard in the past two years.

Omega turned over on the bed in the bedroom, sat up rubbing her wrinkled
rabbit ears, saw that Lu Yan’s cot was empty, and suddenly buzzed in her
head, and looked up to see Alpha on the balcony, hugging Lu Yan and
pacing slowly , talking and laughing with the baby.
He was stunned for a while, and the picture that had been replayed
thousands of times in his mind actually appeared not far away, what to say
and what to do at this moment, he tried hard to recall the words he had
rehearsed, but found that he had forgotten all of them.

Seeing Yan Yi woke up, Lu Shangjin came out with the baby in his arms,
and stopped a few steps away from Yan Yi.

Yan Yi subconsciously got up to pick him up, and just half a step away from
the bed, Lu Shangjin grabbed his waist and hooked him over, clinging to
Alpha’s chest, feeling the warmth and beating with his cheeks.
 Chap 91

Chapter 91 Extra Story 3 If I don’t let you go, after many years

“Don’t let go to bed, didn’t say don’t let me hug you.” Lu Shangjin tilted
her head and kissed his cheek and lips, wrapped her arms around his slender
waist, entangled the tip of her tongue, and kissed him deeply Dozens of
seconds.

Yan Yi hugged little Lu Yan back into his arms, covered the baby’s eyes
with rabbit ears, broke away from Alpha’s arms, and reprimanded in a low
voice: “Playing hooligans in front of children.”

Lu Shangjin rubbed little Lu Yan’s head, Wen Sheng told him that this was
his father’s love. When Lu Yan grew up, he could only do such things to the
person he loved the most.

Xiao Luyan’s eyes were blocked by Yan Yi’s rabbit ears, he raised his head
and giggled, and hummed obediently.

Yan Yi lost his temper, his eyelids drooped, showing no emotion.

Lu Shangjin tightened his arms slightly, lowered his head and kissed Yan
Yi’s neck, his lips rubbed against his smooth glands, until the body of the
omega in his arms trembled slightly, and he whispered in his ear, his voice
was low and sexy.

“Can I…can I go home?”

Yan Yi raised his hand and rubbed his nose, hugged the child up, and his
Adam’s apple moved slightly.

“Look at your performance.”

Lu Yan grabbed Lu Shangjin’s sleeve, looked up at Yan Yi, and whispered,
“Qiuqiu can walk by himself, and daddy can hug daddy too.”

Lu Shangjin sighed several times in his heart. A good son is not born in
vain.

In the evening, Lu Shangjin sent his aunt to get off work as early as
possible, and cooked a table of vegetarian dishes by himself. Yan Yi buried
his head in eating without talking, and Lu Yan ate very deliciously with a
small mouth.

Yan Yi looked at the new wounds on Alpha’s hands that were still unhealed,
hesitated for a while, and said softly, I’ll clean up later.

Lu Shangjin didn’t stop Yan Yi, but cleaned up the kitchen beside Yan Yi
while he was doing the dishes, and when he was done, he stuck to him and
hugged him from behind.

The trickle of water was dripping, and the only sound that could be heard in
the kitchen was the sound of the water, and the crisp sound of the porcelain
surface when picking up the dishes occasionally.

Lu Shangjin lowered her head, silently rubbing her nose against his ear.

With the warm and broad chest pressed against his back, Yan Yi lowered his
head to wash the dishes, but he had already lost his mind.

The air became viscous inexplicably, filled with a wave of light fragrance
pheromone.

Alpha said in a hoarse voice: “I miss you.”

Yan Yi’s answer was like a usual chat among acquaintances: “Then why
don’t you come back.” “I’m

afraid you don’t want me.”

“Then why are you back.”

“…I’m afraid you will really come back.” You don’t want me.”

Lu Shangjin only confessed half of the truth to Yan Yi, adding fuel to the
miserable part, describing himself like a lame stray dog, but still didn’t
mention the injury he suffered because of Yan Yi.

In fact, there is nothing that can be hidden from Yan Yi. In the past two
years when Lu Shangjin was away, he investigated everything Lu Shangjin
experienced in detail.

He was tired of being concealed, especially after the other party swore that
it was for his own good.

So before going to bed, Lu Shangjin was squeezed out of the bedroom

again, and could only sit on the steps and smoke a cigarette to be depressed
for a while.

About thirty minutes later, Lu Shangjin lightly pushed open a crack in the
door and looked inside. Yan Yi fell asleep with a storybook in his hand,
turned sideways, and held Lu Yan in his arms. a bunch of.

Lu Shangjin walked over quietly, leaned over and carefully pulled out the
storybook and put it beside the pillow, and turned off the wall lamp.

Taking advantage of the darkness, he climbed onto the bed, lay down on his
side from the other side, put his palms on Yan Yi’s waist, and hugged the
baby in the middle.

Half of the falcon’s wings grow out quietly, and the fine and soft down
wraps the person in its arms, guarding its nest like a falcon returning from
hunting.

“The smell of smoke is too strong.”

Someone in his arms complained in a muffled voice.

Lu Shangjin smiled, and tightened his arms around Omega.

“Stop doing.”
 Chap 92

Chapter 92 Fanwaisi will blame me or be touched

Lu Yan leaned his back against the height ruler on the balcony door frame,
tried to straighten his back to make himself appear taller, raised his eyes and
looked at Yan Yi expectantly.

Yan Yi squatted in front of him, and drew a mark on the height ruler: “I
have grown another centimeter this month.”

Lu Yan grabbed the rabbit ears and sat down on the ground in
disappointment, very seriously sad: “I I’m already three years old, and I’m
only this tall, so I can’t look like my father.”

Yan Yi rubbed his ears amusedly: “Your father is an alpha, isn’t it good to
be the same as me?” ”

No. I think so.” Lu Yan stood up, flicked his tail, opened his hands and
hugged Yan Yi softly, “Wrap Dad up and hug him.” The

honey-flavored bunny ball was soft whenever it was close to his body, and
Yan Yi stroked him with a smile. The tail of the hair, the hair is long, it is
time to cut it, and when it is time to go to kindergarten, everything has to be
prepared in advance.

Lu Yan’s drooping ears suddenly stood up. Hearing the sound of keys
outside the door, he hurried over and jumped up on tiptoe to open the door.

“Dad!”

Lu Shangjin came back from overtime work, and as soon as he entered the
door, he was thrown into his arms by the baby who jumped up, and he
caught him with both hands and held him in front of him for a kiss. His
rough chin rubbed against Lu Yan’s face, making the little rabbit howl .

He stuffed the gift into Lu Yan’s arms, and the little rabbit happily lay down
on the sofa to open the gift, and took out a small carrot schoolbag, which
contained brand-new and exquisite stationery.

Lu Yan happily took out every gift to touch, and then brought it to Yan Yi,
sharing the happiness at this moment with him.

Yan Yi sat next to him, picked up a carrot-shaped eraser and looked at it, his
brows slightly relaxed.

Suddenly an arm was put on his shoulder, Lu Shangjin sat over, crossed his
legs and leaned against the back of the sofa, and put a quartz watch on Yan
Yi’s wrist.

“What day is it today?” Yan Yi raised his wrist and looked at the dial. The
designer’s name was engraved in a small row on the gear, and he had heard
it before.

“It’s not such a day.” Lu Shangjin glanced away, “If you want to give it
away, you can give it away.”

Yan Yi thought for a while, before meeting several branch presidents a few
days ago, he took a watch from the drawer and put it on.

He asked Assistant Mu to pick out the watch before, and there was a little
alpha smell on it.

The waist tightened slightly, and the whole person was hugged by Lu
Shangjin, Alpha raised his face, hooked Yan Yi’s neck to ask him to bend
down and look at him, put his hand on his buttocks, and put the root of his
tail between his fingers inside.

“Do you like it?” he asked.

But betrayed by the eyes, Alpha clearly asked whether he likes me or not.
Yan Yi thought for a while, then lowered his head and rubbed Alpha’s
earlobe with the tip of his nose.

Lu Shangjin shivered slightly, repeatedly confirmed that he had received a

response, and restrained himself, raised his head and pecked Yan Yi’s lips
twice.

Yan Yi felt that something was gradually hardening against him, and it was
difficult for him to move away with the child beside him, Lu Shangjin also
covered his eyes in embarrassment.

The foreheads of the two were very close, and after a few seconds, they
couldn’t help but blushed and laughed out loud.

Lu Yan’s attention was finally willing to return to the two of them from the
gift, and he blinked suspiciously, wondering why they were smiling.

Yan Yi pursed his lips: “Your father is too unsteady.”

Lu Shangjin spread his hands on the back of the sofa: “It’s your father who
is so beautiful and charming.”

Lu Yan happily climbed between the two of them, as if he was A dollop of

honey cream filling.

When the weather is good during the holidays, the family occasionally
travels by car, and when they are busy, they will take time to set up a grill in
the courtyard. At night, the aroma of barbecue and grilled mushrooms and
corn fills the courtyard.

As the day approached the start of the kindergarten class, Lu Yan suddenly
fell ill.

It’s not a trivial matter for a child to have a fever. At two o’clock in the
morning, Lu Yan’s whole body was scalded like a small stove.

Yan Yi picked up the child and ran downstairs. He didn’t dare to send the
child to the Lu family’s own hospital. Now it takes more than an hour to
drive to Anfeiya Hospital at the shortest time. To go to a nearby ordinary
hospital, he is worried that they won’t be able to treat the child. Adenitis in
a child.

After several considerations, Yan Yi quickly packed up a few daily

necessities, and took Lu Yan to Anfeiya Hospital in Jiu’an City.
Unexpectedly, there was a serial car accident on the expressway a few
minutes ago, and the road was temporarily closed.

At this time, Lu Shangjin was on a business trip.

Yan Yi got out of the car and hugged the hot little Lu Yan, leaning on the
car door to call Lu Shangjin, his fingertips clutching the phone so hard that
they turned white.

The phone rang several times before it was answered. Alpha’s voice was a
little tired, maybe he just fell asleep after work, but he couldn’t hide his
anxiety, and hurriedly asked Yan Yi why he called so late.

“Qiuqiu has a fever. I’m at the Hui’an Expressway.”

Lu Shangjin could hear Yan Yi’s extreme anxiety from his short sentence.
With Yan Yi’s temper, he would only ask himself for help when he had
exhausted all available methods. .

The business trip was in the urban area of ​Changhui, and Lu Lujin drove
overnight to the city hospital that Yan Yifa had come to locate. The
hospital’s medical resources were only average, and it was clearly
announced that the glands could not be treated.

He rushed into the injection room and saw Lu Yan was infused with fluid
on his feet, sleeping uncomfortably in Yan Yi’s arms. Yan Yi leaned against
the cold wall, silently raised his head, his unblinking eyes were red.

“Go, go, come here quickly.” Lu Shangjin gently pulled out the needle for
Lu Yan, stuffed the child into his coat, wrapped him up and hugged him,
pulled Yan Yi up and hurried out, and at the same time released a strong
soothing pheromone, Give the two panicked omegas the greatest sense of
security.
Yan Yi was tightly grasped by his wrist, watched Alpha’s calm and
composed eyes from behind, and slowly freed his hand from his palm.
When Lu Shangjin looked back at him in confusion, he stretched out his
hand and interlocked Alpha’s fingers.

Lu’s private hospital was gradually reshuffled by Lu Shangjin during this

year. The family members who could control the hospital were forced to
withdraw one by one by Lu Shangjin. Lu Shangjin has already controlled
more than half of the resources and contacts in the hospital.

After the little rabbit was taken into the arms of the emergency doctor and
sent to the treatment room, Yan Yi finally lost his strength, his lips turned
white, and he let out a light breath while leaning on Lu Shangjin’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry, it’s normal for a child to have a few illnesses, and it’s nothing
serious.” Lu Shangjin held his cold hand and wiped his forehead and hair
that were wet with cold sweat.

Yan Yi lowered his head, touched Lu Shangjin’s shoulder wearily, and

whispered “Thank you”.

Lu Shangjin frowned, supported his chin and let him look at him: “You
want to make me angry again.”

She blamed her, but the comforting pheromone didn’t decrease at all, like a
pair of invisible hands, gently comforting Yan Yi’s tightness stretched heart.

It turned out that there was no danger. It was just glandular inflammation
caused by the epidemic virus. After two days of fluid infusion, I could take
it home and take good care of it.

Lu Yan drooped his little ears and was not very energetic. He curled up into
a ball and fell asleep as soon as he put him under the quilt.

Yan Yi covered him with a thin quilt, leaned over and kissed the poor little
face, quietly exited the bedroom, and closed the door.
Lu Shangjin was waiting outside the door, and as soon as Yan Yi came out,
he was grabbed by a pair of hands.

“You’re exhausted.” Lu Shangjin bowed his head and kissed his brow, “The
next time something happens, no matter whether it can be fixed or not, you
should call me first, you know.”

Yan Yi nodded.

“Good boy.” Lu Shangjin asked again, “Do you love me or not?”

Yan Yi remained silent for a while, glanced at Alpha’s chest, and silently
leaned on it.

The author has something to say: The title of the episode is taken from “If”.
 Chap 94

Chapter 94 Fanwai·This article is

just beginning to summer, the corner of the courtyard is shady, the

mulberries are hanging upside down on the mulberry branches, and there
are a few sparrows taking a shower in the water of the stone basin fountain.
Occasionally, insects can be heard, and the wind sweeping past the green
plants into the balcony carries an elegant fragrance of flowers, which is
exactly the same as the pheromone of Lushangjin.

The baby’s quilt was drying on the clothes rack, and a slit-cut sun belt just
spread on Yan Yi’s shoulder, dyed a warm orange color of honey.

Lu Shangjin put her chin on his shoulder, leaned slightly and hugged him
neck-to-neck, stretched out her hands to caress his back, the bones in her
palms showed thinness that could not be hidden, it was hard to grow a little
during pregnancy The meat is now thinner again.

He is waiting for a “love you”. Time passed by every minute and every
second, and the entrance was still quiet, so he knew he couldn’t wait for
today again.

So he changed his words and asked again “Am I useful?”, and considerately
left Yan Yi a room to answer.

Yan Yi could sense the alpha’s uneasiness, patted him on the waist, and
comforted him, “You have always been a good father.”

He hadn’t spoken softly to his alpha in the usual omega tone for a long
time. But it was not as awkward as imagined, but he took a breath like a
sigh of relief.
He stood on tiptoe to get closer to alpha, his pointed nose lightly rubbed
against his rough chin, sometimes he wanted to get close to him for no
reason, but he couldn’t let go because of something in his heart, as if if he
hugged the person in front of him Men, something important has been taken
away from their self-esteem.

Lu Shangjin couldn’t understand it in such detail. For him, omega

responded to him, his whole heart seemed to be soaked in whipped cream,
he hugged him tightly in joy, leaned over and kissed him, there was no
place to rest Putting his hand on Yan Yi’s trouser waist, he lifted up his shirt
unconsciously, and his rough palm involuntarily touched his flat belly, like
a big dog running home anxiously, panting in his ears at a loss gas.

Alpha has not been soothed for a long time. The estrus period is all
supported by powerful inhibitors, and drug resistance has developed
quickly. He has already entered the state of frequent estrus. He only needs a
little pheromone, and he will immediately support him. of madness.

The glands of Lu Shangjin and Yan Yi are extremely compatible, and the
pheromone concentration level of Yan Yi is currently as high as S4, the one-
way attraction is enhanced, and the ability to stimulate the original animal
nature is stronger, just like male animals in nature will compete for more
perfection Like the females who breed offspring, his attraction to Lushang
Jin is comparable to strong/drug/drugs.

He saw the swollen blood vessels on Alpha’s arms and neck, and saw Lu
Shangjin tortured to the point of death by the fit he had been pursuing. He
tried his best to endure, and beads of hot sweat dripped down his chin into
his collar.

A sweet soothing pheromone touched Shang Lu Shangjin’s hot glands

invisibly, calming the uncontrollable longing and pain in his body.

Lu Shangjin was startled, and under Yan Yi’s acquiescent eyes, he picked
him up by the waist, climbed down the stairs and carried him into his
bedroom.
He is used to sleeping on hard beds, fearing that the bed would hurt
Omega’s thin body, he stretched out an eiderdown quilt under it, put him
down gently like porcelain, and sat on the edge of the bed to caress Yan Yi’s
hair and ears.

The place where alpha’s big hand touched was hot, Yan Yi lingered in the
smell on his hand, but he didn’t take the initiative to be intimate with alpha.

“Yanyan, kiss me once, just once.” Lu Shangjin hugged him and sat on his
lap, looked up at him slightly, his body was close to Yanyi, like a child who
just got his favorite toy, picked it up and put it down fondly go.

Yan Yi’s evasive gaze was finally willing to look at Alpha’s eyes, and there
was an eager undercurrent in Alpha’s eyes, pouring into his heart the
moment their eyes met.

He forgot what he should be reserved. In fact, when he faced Lu Shangjin,

he couldn’t help but melted on him like rock sugar boiled in hot water.

“I held my hand before, and secretly masturbated by myself, how did it

feel?” Yan Yi held Alpha’s sweaty fingers, and smiled a little vilely.

Lu Shangjin froze for a few seconds, pretended to cough and turned his
head to the other side, his fingers were still in Yan Yi’s hand, but he was
reluctant to break away.

“I miss you, I want to wake up hugging you every day, and fall asleep
hugging you at night.” He lightly rubbed Yan Yi’s neck, the ending sound
changed, deep and hoarse, burning, “It’s been three years, You don’t want
to find an alpha you like, just make do with me, are you wronged?” He was
very wronged when he said this.

Yan Yi lowered his head and pillowed his shoulder, buried his reddish eyes
in his shirt, and smiled:

“It’s been three years, have you bought my ring?”

Lu Shangjin reacted for a while, then suddenly turned over excitedly Yan Yi
fell under his body.

“Buy, buy, buy, buy.” He was so nervous that he bit his tongue and said
incoherently, “The old ones are here with me, let’s go get the certificate, the
marriage certificate.”

He tentatively kissed the corner of the omega’s lips, and the gap between
his teeth was opened easily. He couldn’t help but knelt / on / the / bed /
arched his body and kissed him deeply, with the tip of his tongue sticking
into Yan Yi’s mouth, greedily absorbing the faint sweetness of toffee.

Yan Yi supported his tight and narrow waist, and intertwined/entangled with
the tongue sticking out of his mouth.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you forgive or not. The lost alpha found
the nest, and the little rabbit in the nest was still willing to wait for him.
They keep each other warm and are inseparable.

When Lu Shangjin helped Yan Yi’s legs to enter, he was immediately

wrapped tightly in softness and warmth.

The strong stimulation caused Alpha’s eyes to lose focus for a moment, and
the wings on the back pierced the shirt uncontrollably, the feathers with
brown spots were scratched by the furniture, and scattered on the floor,
every corner of the room was crowded by Alpha’s hormones Full, the rich
rose fragrance exploded.

“My furniture…” Yan Yi raised his head and stared at him,

panting/breathing as he scolded, “The shirt is new, and it’s been a waste of
clothes since you broke up.” “I’ll pay, I’ll pay you.” Lu Shangjin

excitedly Kiss him on the bunny ears.

The omega lay flat and stretched its body like a piece of flawless white
porcelain. The previous scars disappeared with the fourth stage of
differentiation. At the end of the smooth and soft back was a trembling
rabbit tail.
Lu Shangjin parted Yan Yi’s legs, and the enlarged acupuncture points were
reddish and slightly swollen, opening and closing, waiting for the pain that
was about to be ravaged.

Yan Yi hadn’t done it for a long time, and subconsciously hugged Lu

Shangjin’s neck. The thick curtains made the closed bedroom very dark. In
the darkness, he could only hug his alpha tightly. He had to admit that his
sense of security at this moment really came from Lu Shangjin.

“Relax, I’m here.” Lu Shangjin held Yan Yi’s back of the head and kissed
him, coaxing the pitiful little rabbit in a hoarse voice, and slowly pushing
his huge scarlet penis into the tiny opening.

Even after giving birth, it was still as tight as it was for the first time. The
soft flesh on the inner wall was wrapped around the thick penis that was
inserted into the intestine, slowly adapting to the strong stimulation.

Yan Yi tightly grasped Lu Shangjin’s arm, bit his lip and raised his neck,
cold sweat trickled down his forehead to his ears.

Lu Shangjin could see that he was in pain, so he slowed down his

movements and released a large wave of soothing pheromone, almost like a
fish in water. Yan Yi immediately relaxed after being wrapped in the
soothing pheromone, and squeezed out an unbearable thin sob from
between his teeth He even raised his white and tender buttocks to meet the
depth of the insertion, the rabbit’s tail shook violently, and his whole body
was covered with a layer of light pink.

Yan Yi tried his best to adapt to the thick penis buried in his body, as if
countless small electric currents were swimming in the bone marrow, he
curled up his body, was pressed against the flower heart one by one, and
gripped the pillow tightly while whimpering.

Lu Shangjin hugged him and turned over. The little rabbit’s body was as
delicate and soft as ever no matter how old it was. Two slender legs were
kneeling on the soft quilt to support the body, and the translucent creamy
liquid flowed down the trembling legs to the knees nest, and part of it stuck
to the tail ball.
“Baby, I love you, I can’t live without you…” Lu Shangjin leaned over
from behind him and hugged him tightly, with one hand resting on Yan Yi’s
neck, while the other hand tightly clutched the omega’s genitals and moved
up and down, biting Yan Yi ears, making him curl up and scream in his
arms.

Yan Yi grabbed Alpha’s hand that was caressing his neck, and clenched it
tightly in his palm. He couldn’t stop screaming, and murmured to his
brother in a dazed manner as if he had been greatly wronged.

“Brother Jin… Be gentle…”

The glands on the back of the neck were stabbing, and were suddenly
pierced by the sharp teeth. Yan Yi couldn’t help screaming, his body
trembled violently, and the pink penis was in Lu Jin’s palm. Spit out a
stream of white pulp.

Alpha’s penis pierced into the deepest tiny opening, and the top swelled into
a knot, and the condom was shot full of hot and thick semen, like a rubber
condom tightly tightening the stem, Lu Jinjin hissed, it hurts die.

When she picked up the weak and exhausted omega and saw the tears on
his face, Lu Shangjin was heartbroken. She peeled off the cover and wiped
it casually with a paper towel, and scooped the little rabbit into her arms to
coax her.

Yan Yi was resting on his shoulder, the back of his neck was still red and
swollen, the injected marker pheromones gathered under the glandular
dermis, and a peregrine emblem emerged from under the skin.

“I’m yours now.” Lu Shangjin lowered her head and rubbed against him.

Alpha’s rhetoric was irresistible to anyone, and the mark he bit off was said
to be a contract to give himself wholeheartedly.

Yan Yi grabbed his loose neckline in ( ), looked at him with red eyes. Then
Lu Shangjin hugged her into the bed, and bit the () on her chest.
One night is never enough.

Extra Story. The small theater of this episode,

the days are like the coloring book I bought for Lu Yan, each piece is
colored.

Since Lu Yan went to kindergarten, both of them have relaxed a little bit.
They are busy with their work and everything is in order.

Just after the meeting, Lu Shangjin received a call from Yan Yi.

“Your son caused trouble at school.” Yan Yi pinched the base of his nose
and turned a pen at his desk, “Come and pick me up, I didn’t drive today.”
At the same time, there were several parents of children who were called to
the kindergarten

. Met Tan Meng and Bi Ruijing.

Bi Rui stood on Lu Shangjin’s shoulder and wondered: “The teacher said

my son gathers people to fight in groups. My son is only in the big class,
can he fight in groups?

” In order to let the tutor teach, Yan Yi refused to let him, saying that being
with the children is good for growth, look, are you being bullied? Let me
see who is bullying my son.” Yan Yi raised his ears and shook his

shoulders : “Don’t shirk your responsibilities.”

In the office, the two head teachers of the poisonous plant class and the
herbivore class are waiting for several parents.

Bi Lanxing, who was punished to stand in the corner, held Lu Yan’s little
hand. Lu Yan had cried before, his little face was flushed, and there was still
a small tear hanging on his eyelashes. Bi Lanxing drilled a vine from the
fingertips behind his back, sneaked up on Lu Yan’s shoulder, tugged at the
rabbit’s ears, and wiped his tears.
Yan Yi glanced at Lu Yan’s whole body, although his ears were shaking and
he was crying, but he was not injured.

The principal said seriously: “The impact of this incident is very bad. It has
violated the regulations of the kindergarten for the children to wander
around at will during class, not to mention the bad incident of gang fights!”
Taking into account the status and background of the parents will ignore the
correct education of the children.

When it comes to Lu Yan beating the sword antelope alpha who overturned
his building blocks and dinner plate, Bi Lanxing rushed over with a few
little alphas, making the scene a mess, the expressions of Lu Shangjin and
Bi Ruijing became very exciting , and even looked at each other, eyes full
of subtle pride.

The alphas were mischievous and aggressive. After Lu Yan and the sword
antelope alpha rolled together, they immediately mobbed and tore the lonely
little rabbit, pulled its ears and tail, just in time for the poisonous plant class
to organize the children to wash up after meals. plates, and a bickering
turned into a world war.

Yan Yi and Tan Meng squatted in front of the children and asked about the
reason. Bi Ruijing shook the car keys and winked at his son and gave his
son a thumbs-up. Lu Shangjin leaned back in the chair and asked Assistant
Xiaoning to follow the teachers to do the math. How much will you pay for
broken items.

Today’s class was unavailable, so the two families took the child back and
had a meal along the way.

Tan Meng complained to Yan Yi: “At home, I am the only one who can
educate Xiao Xing well. Look at the old man’s virtues. He knows how to
run around the world with children, and Xiao Xing is spoiled by him.” Yan

Yi Smiling: “Okay, it’s not a big deal.”

Bi Ruijing rolled the cigarette and asked Bi Lanxing to tell the wonderful
details of today’s battle with great interest.
Lu Shangjin kept adding food to Lu Yan, and quietly taught him fighting
skills, how to defeat the enemy with one move.

Bi Lanxing asked: “Dad, can I stay two grades? Then if I graduate, I won’t
be able to help if someone bullies Ah Yan.”

Bi Ruijing tapped him on the head: “Come on, with his gene, maybe you
don’t need to get started at all, you brat still wants to fight, how did I teach
you?” “Tell me, if someone offends me

, I’ll beat you until you don’t even know your mother.”

Bi Ruijing coughed softly against Tan Meng’s gouged eye, “That’s not it.”

After a very pleasant meal, when he returned home, Lu Yan lay on his
stomach. He tried his best to look out the car window, raised his tail and
yelled childishly, “Brother Xiaoxing, goodbye!”.

Lu Shangjin, the little baby who followed the car and flew away with all his
heart, was jealous again, frowning in thought.

Yan Yi drove the car with a chuckle.

new platinum ring with a unique style. Each ring is engraved with each

 Chap 96

This month, the nine-cornered maple outside the old house turned red, and
the dense branches slanted into the windows on the second floor. The maple
leaves, the size of a small palm, would fall to the pages of the desk,
voluntarily becoming a bookmark.

An omega was nestled in the single sofa under the window sill, half curled
up and asleep, fingers involuntarily grasping the cinnamon-colored quilt
covering her body.

The quilt had been pulled up over the nose, revealing two shrunken legs—
only a thin layer of skin was left over the clearly defined leg bones.

He can no longer walk on them.

Someone knocked on the bedroom door twice, but got no answer, so he

opened it and walked in.

“Dad? Why are you sleeping here?” Lu Shangjin reluctantly walked to the
single sofa, knelt down to arrange the sheets for Ye Wan, and carried him to
the bed to sleep.

Ye Wan woke up suddenly, subconsciously released uneasy pheromones,

opened her eyes suddenly, and stared blankly at the young alpha in front of
her.

Lu Shangjin was taken aback by the strange eyes cast by his father. Elderly
people sometimes suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Both he and Yan Yi
were worried about their father’s spirit, so they immediately sensitively
detected their father’s pheromones with pheromones and found nothing
abnormal.
He carried Ye Wan into the wheelchair, and put the cinnamon-colored
sheets on the sofa into Ye Wan’s arms as usual.

“Are you tired recently?” He squeezed Ye Wan’s shoulders, “We’ll go out

with you later.”

Lu Shangjin opened the bedroom door, called Yan Yi, and asked him to
come over and help move the wheelchair.

Ye Wan hadn’t recovered from the shock, and pressed her index finger to
her lips in confusion.

He slept too much recently, and he even dreamed that he shot himself. He
thought he hadn’t entered old age, but in fact he had already started to suffer
from neurasthenia. He couldn’t distinguish between dreams and reality, and
his memory became worse and worse.

Ye Wan asked happily: “Are you reconciled with Yanyan?”

Lu Shangjin’s face froze: “Yan Yi just coaxed Yan Yi because I watered the
roots of the narcissus on the balcony to rot, so you don’t need to mention it.
”

Ye Wan thought for a while, and vaguely remembered that there was such a
thing.

Yes, both his son and daughter-in-law have been married for a whole year.

He still wanted to recall some things that he should remember, but Yan Yi
had already walked up.

“Dad, be careful.” He asked Lu Shangjin to hold Ye Wan, and went

downstairs with the wheelchair. The first floor is being renovated, except
for the noise and dust.

“The cleaning only comes here in the afternoon. Brother Jin, please close
this circle. I’m looking at the soup in the pot.” Yan Yi pushed Ye Wan’s
wheelchair to a cleared space, and beckoned to Lu Yan, “Come here for
Grandpa.” Squeeze your legs.”
The little rabbit hopped over from the decoration waste over the mountains
and ridges, jumped to Ye Wan’s side, climbed into the wheelchair and
squeezed into Ye Wan’s arms.

The soft child crawled into his arms and acted like a baby. Ye Wan was
stunned for a long time, then put his hand on Lu Yan’s young back and
stroked it in a daze.

“Grandpa!” Lu Yan hugged Ye Wan with trembling ears, and whispered in

his ear, “I don’t want to go to kindergarten anymore…Brother Xiaoxing is
going to elementary school, and I want to go to elementary school too. Dad
scolded me, saying Hit me if I’m not good.”

“He dares.” Ye Wan smiled and hugged the little rabbit into his arms,
“Grandpa is up to you, whoever dares to hit our good baby.” “Hee hee,
that’s it.”

Lu Yan Holding Ye Wan’s neck obediently, she made a face at Lu Shangjin

who was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.

After lunch, the family of four took advantage of the crisp autumn weather
to go around the yard.

Lu Shangjin rode her own jewel around her neck, and Yan Yi pushed Ye
Wan through a long avenue.

Ye Wan remembered that the garden was full of tulips, but now it is full of
lilies.

When he asked where those tulips went, both Lu Shangjin and Yan Yi
looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Lu Yan grabbed Lu Shangjin’s hair, lowered his head and asked, “Didn’t we
only grow lilies at home? Because grandpa’s pheromone is lilies.” Ye Wan
tried hard to recall

what tulips meant to him, and he couldn’t think about it for a long time. As
a result, I only vaguely remembered that it was a kind of warm and sad
flower, and I could not think about the story behind it.

He smiled with relief.

Lu Shangjin called the gardener who was cleaning the courtyard to help
take a photo.

In the viewfinder frame, little Lu Yan was sitting in Ye Wan’s arms, his left
hand was pulled up by Lu Shangjin and pressed to his lips, and his right
hand was held by Yan Yi on his chest.

The warmth and happiness transmitted through the skin to the heart is too
real, Ye Wan hasn’t been this happy for a long time.

The photographs were framed and placed on the desk in the bedroom.

Ye Wan would take a good look at it every day before going to bed. He was
holding the photo frame in a daze, when the little guy ran up again with the
story book, slipped into Ye Wan’s arms from under his feet, and puffed his
cheeks angrily: “The

two of them said there is something important, let me sleep with grandpa
today What’s the matter with them? They’re just kissing!”

Ye Wan laughed and covered Lu Yan with a quilt: “Okay little ancestor,
grandpa will tell you a story.” The

grandpa and grandson chatted, slowly He fell asleep, and the little rabbit
obediently nestled in Ye Wan’s arms with his ears down. Ye Wan patted him
and hummed a song to lull him to sleep.

Please give me shade,

please give me favor,

merciful god,

where are you.

……

In the Lu family cemetery, a circle of lilies surrounded Ye Wan’s tombstone.

Lu Shangjin and Yan Yi were wearing solemn black suits with a lily pinned
to their chests.

Lu Yan quietly held Yan Yi’s hand, looking at the gentle photo of Omega on
the tombstone.

After the mourning was over, Yan Yi draped another omega’s shoulders
while talking.

“Thank you, I trouble you to come here even though it’s so far away.”

Omega smiled and said, “President, you have already opened your mouth.
How can I not show face.”

PS Because the customer service sauce has changed the source of the book,
so the chapter name is weird, 92, 94 jumps to 96 Oh, I am really sorry that
the QQ article did not miss.

The following text

Lu Shangjin was distracted again this morning and knocked over a cup of
coffee, which wet the documents. This is already the third time he has made
mistakes since he started working. The first and second times were the day
before yesterday and yesterday respectively.

Who owns the Bentley parked at the entrance of the Union Building? Lu
Shangjin saw Yan Yi walk down the steps, shake hands with Alpha in the
back seat, and lead him upstairs.

The handshake lasted for a full ten seconds.

Can Yan Yi take the initiative to hold his hand for ten seconds?

He was puzzled, blocked the jumping lion cub, and ran away Yan Yi’s
former assistant, why did this happen again. Lu Shangjin paid attention to
that alpha’s inadvertently exposed ankle. The serial number is very special,
PBBw000012.

At noon, I had an impromptu game with my friends. Xia Pingtian

mentioned that his younger brother had been selected into the special
forces, and he raised his eyebrows with joy: “The serial numbers of the
Storm Troops all start with PBBw.” Lu Shangjin suddenly remembered that
the alpha was

Yan Yi once. The team members who have brought.

He asked the chef to cook two other dishes and take them home for Yan
Yi’s supper. After entering the door, he found that only the bedroom lights
on the second floor were on. Yan Yi was reading documents while eating a
bowl of braised noodles at the table. The little rabbit has already fallen
asleep holding the toy.

Lu Shangjin leaned against the wrought iron fence outside the bedroom, put
the lunch box aside, touched his pocket, and remembered that he had quit
smoking.

He didn’t know how long his mind was empty, but when he was awakened
by the sound of Yan Yi putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Lu Shangjin
had already hugged him from behind.

“Just eat this at night?”

Yan Yi replied in a low voice: “Qiuqiu ate it at school, and I don’t bother to
make it myself.”

After a moment of silence, Lu Lujin kissed the peregrine falcon emblem on

the gland at the back of his neck with a soft voice. Dumb: “Go downstairs
and rest for a while.”

Yan Yi seemed to read something different from Lu Shangjin’s longing

eyes. Alpha’s estrus period has just passed, and logically speaking, there is
no reason to be intimate.

But he followed, and when he went downstairs, his hands were clenched
tightly, and the rings occasionally touched together.

Lu Shangjin warmed up the food, brought it over to eat with Yan Yi, and
inadvertently mentioned Yan Yi’s former team members while eating.

Yan Yi choked for a moment, and his rabbit ears perked up. I don’t know
how many cheating partners he has in Lu Shangjin’s heart.

“Crazy,” he said.
Lu Shangjin was much happier. He put his warm palm on Yan Yi’s head,
pressed down the erected rabbit ears, and stroked the hair well before
smoothing it out.

In the evening, Yan Yi took a shower on the first floor, thinking that Lu
Shangjin was excited and wanted to do something today, but he just hugged
him from behind and murmured that I love you.

Yan Yi turned over and faced Lu Shangjin’s sleeping face. Alpha is tall and
slender, but sleeps next to him with his back slightly arched, with his hands
on Yan Yi’s waist, and doesn’t hold the omega in his arms completely.

Like raising two children, they have to be coaxed. Yan Yi lay on his side
and raised his head to look at Alpha’s slightly frowned brows, smiled,
helped Lu Shangjin’s hair, kissed his lips, and then kissed the center of his
brows.

The next night, when Lu Shangjin entered the house, the whole room was
dark and the atmosphere was weird. He immediately subconsciously
reached into the drawer to feel for the gun.

It didn’t feel right…

He picked it up and pulled the trigger. A stream of sparkling flowers

spewed out from the muzzle of the gun, and the electronic sound of happy
birthday ticked.

Lu Shangjin looked puzzled.

There was a dim light in the dining room, reflecting a table of sumptuous
meals, Yan Yi was wearing an apron, and was bending over to light a candle
with a lighter.

The little guy jumped up and climbed into Lu Shangjin’s arms, put a
cardboard birthday hat on his father crookedly, and yelled surprise.

“Good baby.” Lu Shangjin kissed Lu Yan’s little ear, carried the child to the
table, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up, “It’s been so many
years since I celebrated my birthday.”

Yan Yi raised his eyes and teased him: “Now he’s really an old man.”

“Tsk, how do you talk.” Lu Shangjin pinched Lu Yan’s face, “Did your
father start preparing for it very early, did he pay special attention to me,
and really liked me?” Lu Yan raised his small ears: “Yes

!”

“What’s right?” Yan Yi flicked Lu Yan’s tail ball, and threw a bunch of car
keys to Lu Shangjin.

“The team member I brought before has retired. He is a Bentley mechanic.

Didn’t you fall in love with J**a, a concept car, and I asked someone to get
it for you.” Lu Shangjin looked at it blankly while holding the car key

. with him.

Yan Yi pushed the ice cream cake over: “As usual, make a wish?”

Lu Shangjin was still in a daze, and closed his eyes inexplicably under Yan
Yi’s guidance.

He had a lot of wishes, and the candle was almost burned out and he didn’t
finish it.

“I love you.”

He heard Yan Yi whisper in his ear.

 Chap 98

“Working overtime again, miss me?” Xia Pingtian went to the guest room
of the bathing center while chatting with Dr. Zhong on the phone, “Tsk, this
is a standard answer.” “Why am I dishonest? Yes, I am

going The little duck’s room is leaving, please beg me and I’ll turn around
and go back to the hospital.”

Xia Pingtian’s mood was obviously not as relaxed as when he stuffed the
room card in the duckling’s crotch, and there was even a hint of displeasure
between his brows, and he opened the door. His movements were not very
gentle, and the duckling would suffer later, so he had to vent the anger he
had received from Qinger for Young Master Xia.

He kicked open the door lightly, there was no clean omega sitting on the
bed, and there was a young man in a white coat standing in front of the tea
table, pouring water with his back to the door.

On the contrary, the loose coat made the youth look taller and slender.
Behind a section of his snow-white neck when he bowed his head, the
tender/red glands were smooth and clean, exuding a refreshing smell of
vine leaves.

Xia Pingtian walked over involuntarily, hugged Dr. Zhong from behind,
lowered his head and kissed behind his ear: “Boy, it’s too early, I didn’t
catch/rape/in/bed, isn’t it a pity? I want to see you get jealous and make
trouble with me.” The lower abdomen under the palm of his hand was flat
and thin, and he squeezed it hard, obviously filling him up every time, but it
never got bigger and gave him growth. A well-behaved grass came.
Dr. Zhong took a sip of water and smiled: “I didn’t come here just because I
missed you. If you want to play with the three of us, I can do it too.

” I couldn’t help using my hands. If the omega around him used to dare to
joke with him so ignorantly, he would have kicked him on the ground a few
times and had a bloody fight.

But this guy can’t do it, it looks good everywhere, even a little blood
splashes our young master Xia in pain.

“It’s nothing.” Dr. Zhong softened his attitude, turned around and put his
arms around Xia Pingtian’s waist, leaned his head slightly and kissed the
corner of his lips, and the pheromone released by the green windweed
entangled the glands of alpha inseparably. .

Xia Pingtian turned his head, grabbed his arms, pressed Dr. Zhong onto the
bed, and pressed his lips forcefully, intense alpha pheromone filled the
whole room in an instant.

Puma alpha’s size and strength were not something a plant omega could
resist. Dr. Zhong quickly fell into the passionate red rose pheromone.

Xia Pingtian suddenly paused for a few seconds, the enthusiasm in his eyes
faded by half.

He smelled the scent of omega heat.

Dr. Zhong was lying on his back with his white coat messily spread under
his body. He was already dominated by the omega’s instinctive estrus.
Maybe even if it wasn’t Xia Pingtian at this moment, any alpha with a high
enough fit could make the doctor addicted to this.

The green vines growing wantonly on his body were wrapped around
Alpha’s arms and waist, and Xia Pingtian’s broad back was scratched with
red marks, and he gritted his teeth and cursed at the goblin.

“Give me a little grass, you will call me daddy, fuck. ”

——————————————————————————————
——————————————————————————————
——————————————————————————————
———————————

The doctor whispered in his ear: “You will find me when you are in love.”

Dr. Zhong still had a satiating blush on his face, and closed his eyes
sleepily: “I like you so I find you.” It will be impossible to get out of bed.

Xia Pingtian suddenly lay on his side with his head supported, and gently
kissed Dr. Zhong’s neck to the gland: “Can I take it seriously?” Dr. Zhong
turned around and pressed two fingers

against the sharp canine teeth on his upper lip, Laughed: “Don’t take it
seriously.”

Xia Pingtian looked a little tired, put Dr. Zhong’s head in his arms, and said
in a low voice: “I do whatever you want.” Claw him in the basement, bite
his glands to pieces, and it’s not impossible to release him after tossing and
behaving.

The soothing pheromones of red roses fill the room.

 Chap 99

When Yan Yi fell asleep, a pair of arms slowly came from behind and
wrapped around his lower abdomen.

Originally, he had agreed to accompany Yan Yi to the supermarket to buy

things, but he couldn’t go because of temporary business. In the company,
Mr. Lu Shangjin couldn’t help but glance at the news. Yan Yi replied that he
understood, and never bothered him again.

Lu Shangjin hugged him from behind and kissed the peregrine falcon mark
on the back of his neck. Even though he had already marked it, Lu Shangjin
still occasionally felt that it was unreal. Yan Yi’s level was too high, and
only one mark would have no binding effect. What’s more, he has also been
vaccinated against dependency barriers, which means that there is no
attachment, and there is no bondage that must be him.

Yan Yi groaned in a low voice, curled up, the ball of his tail touched Lu
Shangjin’s thigh and trembled, and impatiently removed the hand on his
lower abdomen, and he woke up.

When he woke up, he saw Lu Shangjin sitting on the edge of the bed,
raising his hands, looking at himself with some helplessness.

Alpha looked at him as if he had done something wrong, and frowned: “I’ll
get a quilt.”

Yan Yi raised his eyes to examine him, and smiled.

“Qiuqiu is staying at Tanmeng’s house tonight.”

“Are you going to stay up late and work later?” Yan Yi moved towards him,
leaving a space for Lu Shangjin, “Take a break, and work can be done
tomorrow. ”

The light from the wall lamp in the bedroom is soft, shining on Yan Yi’s
thin shoulders, his ears are hanging softly in his hair, he is only wearing
pajamas on the upper half, the neckline is slightly open, there is only a pair
of underwear underneath, and his tail is fluffed out.

Lu Shangjin was stunned for a moment, then rushed forward, pressed Yan
Yi onto the bed, cupped his cheeks and kissed her.

Alpha’s excited pheromones filled the room, a few feathers were scattered
on the floor, and the wings of a falcon bird with brown spots stretched out
from behind the alpha, wrapping the little rabbit in his arms in this small
and comfortable space middle.

He didn’t do anything more, because Yan Yi had already calmed down in

the gentle Christmas rose pheromone, leaning sleepily on his shoulder.

So he patted Yan Yi’s back lightly and kissed his ear.

“Good night.”

Yan Yi buried his head in Lu Shangjin’s arms, and a wave of toffee

pheromone was released slowly, gently comforting Alpha who had been
working around all day.

“Come with me to the supermarket tomorrow.” Yan Yi closed his eyes, not
knowing whether he was awake or talking in his sleep.

When Lu Shangjin fell asleep, she was still releasing soothing pheromones,
her arms tightly wrapped around the omega in her arms.

Yan Yi turned his back to him, and although he closed his eyes, he couldn’t
fall asleep. When the breathing at the back of his neck became even, he
turned around slightly, put his hand on Alpha’s cheek, and stroked his
clean-shaven chin.

He was obviously as good-looking as ever. Yan Yi frowned, lowered his

head to kiss him, tentatively inserted the tip of his tongue into the alpha’s
lips, and tried his best to close his eyes to feel the marked connection
between them.

After more than ten seconds, Yan Yi calmly retreated, lifted the thin quilt on
his body, and glanced at the still body.

Yan Yi was silent for a while, lightly took Lu Shangjin’s arm and put it
aside, and slowly walked out of the bedroom.

Lu Shangjin slept very restlessly, her arms were empty, and there was no
pheromone comfort around her body like jellybeans.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and seeing that there was no one around him,
sweat suddenly broke out from his palms.

Lu Shangjin was thrown out of bed, ignoring the shirt on his naked upper
body, hurried out of the bedroom, and activated the m2 ability to locate Yan
Yi.

He found Yan Yi in the old wardrobe in the storage room. The wardrobe
was brought over from the old villa, Yan Yi was not allowed to move, and
the contents inside were not allowed to be thrown away.

Lu Shangjin slowly opened the closet door, and a burst of narcissus

pheromone fragrance, which had faded due to the passage of time,
overflowed.

Yan Yi curled up in the closet and fell asleep, covered with a coat he used to
wear.

At that moment, Lu Jin’s heart became cold.

——

Yan Yi, who was sleeping soundly, was caught by a ray of light on his eyes,
hummed lightly, and half-opened his eyes. Alpha’s body was tightly
blocked in front of him, with his back against the light. He couldn’t see Lu
Shangjin’s expression clearly, he just felt Some gloomy.
His intuition was right, Lu Shangjin’s hand reached in, grabbed his
pajamas, pulled Yan Yi out completely, and pressed his waist against the
wardrobe.

Alpha’s accumulated anxiety for many years seems to be unable to suppress

at this time, Lu Shangjin’s eyes are red as if on fire, panting low, he put the
coat he used to wear on Yan Yi’s body, and bit his shoulder from behind,
The sharp canine teeth bit the gland that he didn’t dare to touch more, like
biting a lonely hare.

Yan Yi struggled in pain, and pushed Lu Shangjin’s hip with his backhand:
“It hurts, don’t force me to use my ability.”

Lu Shangjin’s hoarse growl fell on his ears: “Did you do it on purpose for
me to see…you said I hate daffodils…”

At the end, Alpha’s voice was trembling, he ignored Yan Yi’s struggle,
peeled off his pajama pants and put his hand in, the action was rude, but
after touching Yan Yi, he still Unable to bear the gentle touch, the falcon
wings on the back fluttered uncontrollably, and the feathers flew around the
whole room.

For a moment, Yan Yi’s legs limp and fell on the closet, Lu Shangjin turned
him over and hugged him, put his legs on his arms, and led him back to the
bedroom.

When he put Yan Yi on his bed, he saw that Yan Yi’s eyes were red and
overflowing with water, and his rabbit ears were tremblingly hidden in his
hair.

“Why are you crying?” Lu Shangjin’s heart softened into a pool of water,
and his movements became more considerate.

Why cry, I don’t know how to love this little rabbit, he has already put a
heart in the little rabbit’s nest, let him scratch and gnaw it to pieces.

——The
large alpha coat on Yan Yi’s body slipped off, revealing half of his thin and
thin shoulders, like a shivering fallen leaf under the halo of the warm
yellow wall lamp.

“I’m not the person you like anymore?” Lu Shangjin has entered him for
the third time tonight, and his anger has not been reduced by half, and he
even became jealous of this coat with a sporadic smell of narcissus.

Yan Yi almost fainted, with his arms around Alpha’s neck, breathing softly
in his ear. The glands on the back of the neck were bitten red, swollen and
muddy, and Lu Shangjin was still biting tirelessly, pouring a large amount
of Christmas rose pheromone into Yan Yi’s glands.

The tyrannical pheromone of A3 level broke into the gland without refusal,
Yan Yi’s nails were embedded in the palm of his hand, Lu Shangjin pushed
it away, kissed his red palm, and put his hand on his back.

The thin nail prints are printed on the broad and powerful back of the alpha.

Afterwards, Yan Yi huddled in Lu Shangjin’s arms, with rabbit ears on his

shoulders, and he became more familiar with the smell of Christmas roses,
and this gentle breath seemed to really embrace him, instead of being gentle
but strange like before. .

Lu Shangjin sat on the bed, with his arm around the little rabbit breathing
peacefully in his arms, his palms around his buttocks, absently playing with
Yan Yi’s wet little tail, and the other hand holding the phone.

The recent search content is displayed below the search bar:

“What should I do if the rabbit is not familiar with the owner’s smell?”

“Seven-day food change method”

“The rabbit at home only likes the old smell, what should I do to adapt it to
the new smell?”

……
After getting the answer, Lu Shangjin tidied up his usual clothes and hung
them in the old closet, and put a narcissus-scented deodorant.

——The

next day, when Lu Shangjin came over, Yan Yi was wearing an apron and
sweeping the floor intently. Half a catty of feathers had already been
collected in the dustpan, and there was still a small pile at his feet.

“Get off work?” Yan Yi raised his eyes to glance at him, and then swept the
floor heavily, causing several feathers to fly up.

Lu Shangjin didn’t care about changing clothes, took over the broom and
cleaned it up and down, then snuggled into the sofa with Yan Yi in his arms.

“Why don’t you use a sweeping robot…”

Yan Yi glared at him: “Three sweeping robots got stuck in a month, and
your family has a mine?”

“There are really four or five. I’ll take you to the mine later…” Lu Shangjin
smiled and kissed the back of his neck, “I’ll sweep and I’ll sweep, you don’t
have to worry about it.” “Don’t pour it down,

put it away and send it to the tailor shop, and make down jackets for Qiuqiu
in winter.”

“Okay, my wife is really housekeeper. ”

Only then did Yan Yi’s ears hang down comfortably, and he half leaned
against Lu Shangjin’s arms. Alpha’s scent is a bit indescribably complex, in
addition to rose pheromone, there is also a smell of narcissus.

“Have you been wearing perfume?” Yan Yi leaned closer and sniffed the tip
of his nose, “It smells so good.”

Lu Shangjin raised his eyebrows, turned over, and pushed Yan Yi onto the
sofa to do it.
It is said on the Internet that the best way to adapt to the smell is to get
along with the rabbit more closely, so that the baby rabbit can smell your
smell at any time.
